Science Based Targets initiative

Want to help the chemicals sector to decarbonize and prevent the worst effects of climate change? The SBTi is again inviting feedback to inform our Chemicals Sector Criteria for setting 1.5°C-aligned science-based targets. We’re seeking expert input to shape the next phase of the criteria development, including pilot testing and final release. ?? Stakeholders across the chemicals industry, finance, academia and civil society are asked to participate in this consultation, running from November 12 to Jan 10, 2025. We look forward to hearing from a diverse range of voices. ?? Head over to our website to review the changes made to the draft Chemicals Sector Criteria and respond to the public consultation: https://lnkd.in/eTXnd8yi #chemicalssector #sciencebasedtargets #chemicals

?? Our target dashboard has been updated! There are now more than 6,725 organizations with validated science-based targets, and over 9,650 with targets or commitments to set them. ?? Congratulations to all of these organizations for their commitment to robust, credible action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions! ?? Head to our website for more information about the targets and commitments of all organizations setting science-based targets. https://lnkd.in/etyRUpAN #SBTiScaleup #sciencebasedtargets #netzero

?? Want to learn more about the revision of our Corporate Net-Zero Standard? Released in 2021, the Corporate Net-Zero Standard enables companies worldwide to set credible and verifiable targets aligned with science. In fact, more than 1,200 companies now have validated net-zero targets in line with the SBTi’s flagship Standard. But if this is the case, why does it need revising? And what are the main objectives of the revision process? To find out, check out this video from SBTi Chief Impact Officer Tracy Wyman. #NetZero #NetZeroStandard #sciencebasedtargets #SBTi

Last week at #COP29 in Azerbaijan, SBTi Chief Technical Officer Alberto Carrillo Pineda joined a panel of experts to discuss the challenges of tackling scope 3 emissions. ?? Here are a few key takeaways from Alberto’s discussion: ? Companies are on the right path by embracing transparency and engaging their supply chains to tackle scope 3 emissions. However, though more and more companies are measuring and setting scope 3 targets, challenges remain in data collection and defining the right indicators. ? One of those challenges is companies lack refined guidelines to measure and report scope 3 emissions across different segments of their value chains, leading them to resort to a single aggregate measure. The SBTi is working to clarify this through the revision of our Corporate Net-Zero Standard. ? We’re expanding our approach to include "alignment metrics," such as net-zero procurement strategies, to help companies influence their supply chains and meet emissions targets. In short, addressing scope 3 emissions requires transparency, better metrics, and evolving strategies, and we’re working to help companies navigate this complex process, specifically through the revision of our Corporate Net-Zero Standard. Thank you to hosts United Nations Global Compact and The Sunrise Project Inc. for facilitating this enlightening conversation on such an important topic. #Scope3 #NetZeroStandard #SBTi #sciencebasedtargets

???? SBTi Chief Technical Officer Alberto Carrillo Pineda is back giving important takeaways from #COP29 in Azerbaijan. Finance has been a major topic of discussion on the ground in Baku, and, in this short video, Alberto explains how both companies and governments have a role to play making sure our transition to a net-zero future is properly funded. ?? Watch Alberto’s video below and check back this week as we share more takeaways from Baku. #NetZero #Sustainability #ClimateAction #SBTi #NetZeroStandard

"It's important when companies make pledges that they're not self-declared and self-monitored. They need to be credible and they need to be accountable. “And that's why we work with the Science Based Targets initiative, that provides a credible, verifiable, science-based pathway, so we can be sure that companies are making progress. “Why is this important? We have found that companies that use science-based targets to decarbonize do so twice as fast as others, so we know that it works. About 6,000 companies are using this methodology." ?? We love to see leaders like United Nations Global Compact CEO and Executive Director Sanda Ojiambo championing the value of science-based targets in the fight against climate change. By setting science-based targets, companies are committing to real, measurable progress toward a net-zero future. #Sciencebasedtargets #COP29 #ClimateAction
