SBTi submission support

Carbon and climate services

Ambitious and science-based decarbonisation and net-zero targets are increasingly the norm. Companies are validating their targets through the Science Based Targets initiative and other net-zero pathways. This ensures a consistent and well-established method for target setting and provides a basis for strategies outlining how to get there in a way that is understandable for investors, clients and other stakeholders.

We help our clients align their carbon footprinting and reporting to best-practice standards, such as SBTi.

SBTi enables companies to tackle climate change by guiding them in science-based target setting; it allows companies to seize the benefits and boost their competitiveness in the transition to a net-zero economy. The initiative defines and promotes best practices in emissions reductions and net-zero targets in line with climate science through providing standardised as well as sector-specific target setting methods and guidance.

79% of corporate executives surveyed found a strengthened brand reputation to be one of the most significant business benefits for their company from committing to the Science Based Targets initiative. YouGov and SBTi, 2018

Our team has hands-on experience with target setting, net-zero strategies and SBTi validation submission and can therefore support you throughout the stages of our five-step process:

Commitment:
Communicating the need for net-zero and the key requirements of SBTi to internal stakeholders in preparation for sending your commitment letter.
Target development:
Developing your net-zero target in alignment with science-based criteria as well as your level of ambition to meet the 24-month deadline for submission after signing your commitment letter.
Submission:
