Are you interested in implementing science-based climate targets in your company? Contact us to find out how you can achieve sustainable success with the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi).
“Net zero” refers to the state in which the amount of greenhouse gas emissions produced by an organization, country or other entity is reduced to zero through mitigation and compensation measures. This means that the remaining emissions are offset through various methods such as reforestation, carbon capture and storage or other measures to achieve a balance between the emissions produced and the emissions reduced or offset.
The Corporate Net-Zero Standard clearly and scientifically defines what is meant by net zero and gives corporate leaders the assurance that their decarbonization strategies are in line with climate science.
It addresses the previous inconsistency in the definition and interpretation of net zero, which has led to confusion and accusations of greenwashing.
SBTi's Corporate Net-Zero Standard enables companies to set clear science-based net-zero targets, emphasize their leadership in climate action and demonstrate their commitment to a livable planet.
Completeness: Includes all key emissions along the value chain.
Early action: Focuses on immediate action, based on climate science.
Ambition: Aims to limit warming to 1.5°C, supported by sound climate models.
Timeframe: Commitment to net zero by 2050 at the latest.
Accountability: Subject to a rigorous and independent review process.
