About the Science Based Targets (SBTi)
The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) is a corporate climate action organization that enables companies and financial institutions worldwide to play their part in combating the climate crisis.
We develop standards, tools and guidance which allow companies to set greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions targets in line with what is needed to keep global heating below catastrophic levels and reach net-zero by 2050 at latest.
Action is needed in key sectors, many of which require tailored approaches to setting emission-reduction targets. The SBTi provides clarity and guidance on these journeys, including for the heavy emitting sectors such as buildings, steel, cement, and finance.
