SBTi & CLIMATE TARGETS
The decisive factor is whether it is based on a resilient balance sheet, fits your company, and is linked to concrete decisions.
We develop science-based targets and a reduction pathway that is scientifically sound and feasible within the company.
Discuss climate targets
YOUR ORDER
You want to effectively reduce emissions, meet customer requirements, or prepare for an SBTi validation. To do this, you need more than just an ambitious target; you need a clear baseline and a path to get there.
We combine balance sheet, ambition and feasibility into a traceable target development.
Jointly assessing the baseline, ambition and requirements
Develop target options and reduction pathways in an understandable way
Combining measures and responsibility for implementation
WHAT WE DO
01
Clarify the initial situation and expectations
We look at the emission balance, business model, existing targets and requirements. This makes it clear which objectives are sensible and which foundations are still missing.
02
Classify SBTi capability
We assess whether an SBTi validation is appropriate at this stage – and which requirements, decisions, and steps are relevant for it.
03
Understanding emission basis
We categorise Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3, examine key emission drivers, and demonstrate where data quality becomes important for target development.
04
Develop target pathways
We develop target options and evaluate them together: Which change is necessary, which can be influenced, and which is realistic within what timeframe?
05
Prepare implementation
We translate the target path into fields of action, responsibilities and next steps – up to the preparation of a validation, if one is planned.
HOW WE WORK
Clarify the initial situation
Jointly categorising goals, balance sheets and requirements.
Understanding drivers
Make material emissions, data and levers visible.
Develop goals
Model and evaluate suitable target options.
Anchor implementation
Define measures and next decisions.
WHAT YOU GET
You will receive a transparent basis for decision-making regarding climate targets and reduction pathways.

THE FOUNDATION
Reliable data
The greenhouse gas balance shows where emissions arise and which topics are important for target development.
Matching frame
The SBTi is a recognised path. It is not the most sensible first step for every starting position.
Concrete levers
A target needs fields of action associated with investments, procurement, products and the supply chain.
Joint control
Progress only becomes visible once responsibilities and a rhythm for review have been established.
CLEARLY CATEGORISED
It assesses submitted targets against the respective applicable criteria. Whether a target is effective in day-to-day business is determined by data, measures, responsibilities and regular management.
That is why we always combine target development with the question of what concrete changes need to occur within the company. DFGE complements the SBTi logic, climate targets and complex data issues. natureOffice contributes carbon footprinting and practical data processes. Terra guides strategy, organisation and implementation.
First the foundation. Then the goal. Then the implementation.
FIRST THE FOUNDATION. THEN THE GOAL. THEN THE IMPLEMENTATION.
Together, we will look at your starting point, your ambition, and the steps that follow.
