Target Setting and Commitment SET TARGETS ALIGNED WITH SCIENCE

Science-based targets (SBTs) provide a clear pathway for companies to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, aligning with the latest climate science to prevent the worst impacts of climate change.

Our team will guide you through every stage, from analyzing your baseline to submitting validated targets, ensuring your business is future-proof and resilient to regulatory changes.

Why Align Emission Reduction Targets to Science? 

Lead the way to a zero-carbon economy

Drive sustainable growth by setting ambitious, science-based emissions reduction targets.

Create a strong business strategy

Set science-based targets, contributing to the creation of a data-driven business climate plan.

Reduce costs and drive efficiency

Set targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by making operations and production more cost-effective.

How to Align Emission Reduction Targets to Science? 

1. Commit

Submit a letter of intent to the Science-Based Targets initiative. Once validated, your commitment will be publicly listed, marking the first step in your decarbonization journey.

2. Develop a Target

Over the next 24 months, develop targets following the Science-Based Targets (SBTi) criteria, covering near-term (5-10 years) and long-term (up to 2050) goals. 

3. Submit your Target

We will support you during the submission process until official validation. This includes outlining your GHG reduction pathways and methods.

4. Communicate your Targets

Once your target is validated, your targets will be communicated by the SBTi. We will also help you with your communication.

5. Disclose your Progress

Measure, report, and continuously monitor your performance against targets, ensuring transparency in your progress toward reducing emissions.

FAQs

  • What are Science-Based Targets (SBTs)?
    Collapse
    Science-Based Targets (SBTs) are GHG reduction goals set by companies in line with the latest climate science to limit global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. These targets cover Scope 1 (direct), Scope 2 (indirect energy), and Scope 3 (value chain) emissions, aligning corporate action with international climate goals.
  • How long does it take to set and validate Science-Based Targets?
    Collapse
    The process of setting and validating targets usually takes between 6 to 12 months. This includes assessing your current GHG emissions, developing reduction pathways, and submitting targets to the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) for validation. 
  • What is the difference between near-term and long-term Science-Based Targets?
    Collapse
    Near-term targets focus on reducing emissions over the next 5 to 10 years, in line with the 1.5°C pathway. Long-term targets, on the other hand, aim to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, covering the entire value chain, including Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions.
  • How do Science-Based Targets benefit my company?
    Collapse
    Setting Science-Based Targets provides multiple benefits, including increased operational efficiency, cost savings, compliance with future regulations, improved investor confidence, and strengthened corporate reputation by demonstrating a commitment to climate action.
  • What happens after my targets are validated by the SBTi?
    Collapse
    Once your targets are validated, your company will be listed on the SBTi website as having committed to ambitious climate action. You will be required to report your progress annually, ensuring transparency and accountability as you work towards achieving your targets.
