Climate target setting

Signing the SBTi commitment letter 

‎The SBTi commitment process can be started by registering here. Please note that small and medium sized companies may use SBTi’s streamlined route, available here. 

Next steps after SBTi commitment 

‎After signing and submitting the commitment letter, you will have 24 months to calculate your organisational carbon footprint (Scope 1-2 and Scope 3) and to develop and submit climate targets in line with the 1.5°C global warming scenario. Next steps:  

1. Develop your target in line with SBTi’s science-based criteria 
2. Submit your target for validation 
3. Announce your target and inform stakeholders 
4. Disclose your emissions annually and monitor progress
