Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi)

An international framework that helps companies set science-based carbon reduction targets, aligned with the Paris Agreement and a 1.5 °C pathway.

Assess your SBTi journey

Turn your climate ambition into a validated competitive advantage.

SBTi helps you set science-based carbon reduction targets that strengthen your credibility with investors, secure client trust and anticipate regulatory pressure.

Instead of generic climate promises, you commit to measurable targets aligned with a 1.5 °C pathway and recognised worldwide.

What is SBTi?

The Science Based Targets initiative is an international framework that helps companies define greenhouse gas reduction targets aligned with climate science.

It ensures your commitments are compatible with:

  • A 1.5 °C pathway
  • The Paris Agreement
  • Globally recognised standards

Today, SBTi is the benchmark for companies seeking a credible climate strategy.

You may consider SBTi if:

You want a strong and credible climate positioning

Your clients or investors expect science-based targets

You are building a climate transition plan

You need alignment with CSRD climate requirements

You already have a carbon footprint assessment

SBTi signals a serious and structured climate ambition.

Frequently asked questions

SBTi is voluntary, but it is increasingly expected by investors, major clients and financial institutions as a signal of credible climate ambition.

Companies must calculate their greenhouse gas emissions, define science-based reduction targets and submit documentation for validation through the official SBTi process.

Depending on the level of readiness, validation typically takes between 3 and 9 months.

The cost depends on the size of the company and its category (SME or Corporate). Fees are set by SBTi and vary according to turnover.

SBTi supports the development of a structured climate transition strategy, which strengthens alignment with CSRD climate disclosure obligations.
