SBTi-compliant climate targets
We help with your carbon footprint, target development, and SBTi validation. SBTi-validated and SBTi-aligned targets provide a strong foundation for your decarbonisation strategy.
Why science-based targets now?
Credible, science-aligned climate targets
Science-based targets ensure companies set sufficiently ambitious reduction goals grounded in climate science
Climate
Investor and financial market expectations
Banks, insurance companies, and investors increasingly demand substantial and credible climate action measures
Finance
Supply chain decarbonisation pressure
B2B and B2C customers demand binding climate measures, including science-based targets; customers may also ask suppliers to reduce emissions to lower their own scope 3
Supply chain
Sustainability regulations and transition planning
EU legislation requires climate targets and transition plans. SBTi-validated targets are the most recognised way to meet those requirements
Compliance

SBTi Net-Zero Standard V2.0: So bereiten Sie sich vor
The SBTi's updated Standard is a fundamental shift in target setting. Companies should still submit to the current Standard, which remains a strong framework.
Der aktualisierte SBTi-Standard markiert einen grundlegenden Wandel in der Zielsetzung. Bis dahin können Unternehmen weiterhin auf den aktuellen Standard bauen, der ein solides Rahmenwerk bleibt.

SBTi or CSRD? Overcoming the climate target dilemma
For companies navigating climate target-setting, the question is no longer simply "SBTi or CSRD?" but rather: "How do I build a climate data foundation that serves both frameworks and delivers value?

Science-based targets FAQ
Although the new Standard 2.0 was published in June 2026, we recommend continuing to use the 'classic' standard for submissions until the end of 2027. This allows you to benefit from its simpler, well-established rules while already taking advantage of the V2.0 update regarding ambition for absolute targets.
A full scope 1-3 carbon footprint for all categories according to the GHG protocol standard. Additionally, the SBTi demands some special requirements on a FLAG-split, bio-energy use, system boundaries, etc.
Near-term targets are mandatory for an SBTi target, and are usually set with a target year in 5-10 years.
Net zero targets (also called long-termed targets) are optional within the SBTi framework and have a target year not later than 2050. They include a mandatory commitment to neutralise any residual emissions with high-quality removal certificates.
Start with a complete carbon footprint and book an expert workshop with us to understand all the technical details of an SBTi commitment.
A validated SBT fulfils the regulatory requirements on climate targets by the CSRD.
