SBTi Strategy & Implementation
Welcome to the SBTi Strategy & Implementation Program, designed to help organizations achieve science-based emissions reduction targets that align with the latest climate science and global climate goals. The Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) is a globally recognized standard that enables businesses to set carbon reduction targets that are in line with the latest climate science, ensuring efforts to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions contribute effectively to limiting global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, in line with the Paris Agreement. Our program provides a clear, actionable roadmap for companies to set, implement, and achieve science-based targets (SBTs) that ensure your organization is playing an active role in the global effort to combat climate change.
What is SBTi?
The Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) helps companies set greenhouse gas reduction targets that are science-based, aligning with the latest climate science and ensuring those targets contribute to limiting global temperature rise to well below 2°C or 1.5°C as per the Paris Agreement. SBTs are measurable, transparent, and achievable goals for reducing emissions in a way that reflects the global carbon budget.
SBTi Strategy
Why Implement SBTi Targets?
- Compliance with Global Climate Goals :
SBTs ensure your organization’s carbon reduction efforts are in line with international climate goals, helping you meet global standards like the Paris Agreement and national regulatory requirements. - Credibility and Transparency :
Science-based targets are recognized globally as the gold standard for climate action. Setting and achieving SBTs demonstrates your commitment to reducing your carbon footprint and fighting climate change. - Market Differentiation :
Companies that commit to science-based targets are recognized as sustainability leaders, improving their brand reputation, attracting eco-conscious customers, and gaining a competitive edge in the market. - Investor Confidence :
Investors and stakeholders increasingly prioritize companies with clear and ambitious climate strategies. SBTs enhance investor confidence, ensuring long-term financial stability in an increasingly sustainable-focused economy. - Operational Efficiency and Cost Savings:
Setting SBTs drives the adoption of energy-efficient practices and sustainable technologies that reduce resource consumption and cut operational costs.
Key Features of the SBTi Strategy & Implementation Program
Understanding and Aligning with SBTi Standards
We start by helping you understand the SBTi frameworkand how science-based targets are aligned with global climate goals. We will assess your organization’s current emissions and operational footprint to identify how SBTs can be effectively integrated.
Key Deliverables :
-
- Clear understanding of SBTi methodology.
- Initial carbon footprint assessment (Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions).
- Evaluation of your current climate goals and alignment with SBTi requirements.
Carbon Footprint Assessment and Baseline Creation
A comprehensive carbon footprint assessmentwill be conducted to measure your current greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This includes direct emissions (Scope 1), indirect emissions from energy consumption (Scope 2), and emissions throughout the supply chain (Scope 3).
Key Deliverables :
-
- Detailed carbon footprint report.
- Identification of key emission sources across operations.
- Baseline data for setting realistic and actionable targets.
Setting Science-Based Targets (SBTs)
Based on your carbon footprint assessment, we work with you to set science-based targetsthat are aligned with global climate goals (e.g., limiting warming to 1.5°C). These targets will cover emissions across all scopes (Scope 1, 2, and 3), ensuring that your reduction strategy is comprehensive and robust.
Key Deliverables:
-
- Science-based emissions reduction targets for Scope 1, 2, and 3.
- Actionable timeline and milestones for achieving the targets.
- Documentation and alignment with the SBTi criteria for official approval.
Decarbonization Strategy and Action Plan
Develop a tailored decarbonization strategyand action plan to achieve the set targets. This includes identifying key areas for emissions reduction, prioritizing actions based on feasibility and impact, and incorporating energy-efficient technologies, renewable energy sourcing, and sustainable practices.
Key Deliverables:
-
- Decarbonization roadmap with milestones and timelines.
- Energy efficiency measures and renewable energy sourcing plan.
- Sustainable product design and low-carbon technology integration.
Supply Chain Engagement for Scope 3 Emissions
A significant portion of your emissions may be linked to the supply chain(Scope 3). We will assist you in engaging suppliers, setting targets for emissions reduction, and collaborating on low-carbon procurement and logistics.
Key Deliverables:
-
- Supplier engagement strategy for carbon reductions.
- Implementation of low-carbon procurement practices.
- Optimization of supply chain logistics to reduce transportation emissions.
Implementation of Low-Carbon Technologies and Innovations
To meet your SBTs, we will help you implement low-carbon technologiesand process innovations, such as electric vehicles (EVs), renewable energy systems (e.g., solar, wind), smart energy management systems (EMS), and carbon capture technologies.
Key Deliverables:
-
- Adoption of energy-efficient technologies.
- Transition to renewable energy sources.
- Implementation of low-carbon alternatives in industrial processes.
Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification
Continuously monitor your progress towards your SBTs using real-time data tracking systems. We will help you create detailed emission reportsto ensure compliance with SBTi requirements and communicate your progress transparently to stakeholders.
Key Deliverables:
-
- Ongoing emissions monitoring and data reporting.
- Quarterly or annual progress reports on SBTi targets.
- Transparency in emissions reductions and updates for stakeholders.
Engagement and Awareness Programs
Employee engagementand stakeholder communication are key to achieving SBTs. We help you develop training programs, raise awareness, and motivate employees to integrate sustainable practices into their daily activities.
Key Deliverables:
-
- Sustainability training and workshops for employees.
- Regular internal communication on SBT progress.
- Sustainability incentives and employee engagement initiatives.
Continual Improvement and Re-evaluation
SBTs are not static, and as the global climate landscape evolves, so should your targets. Our program ensures that your targets are periodically re-evaluated and adjusted as necessary, incorporating new technologies, regulatory changes, and best practices.
Key Deliverables:
-
- Periodic reviews and updates to SBTs.
- Integration of new climate action strategies.
- Continuous improvement of emissions reduction efforts.
