Science Based Targets initiative

The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) is a notable corporate climate action organization pioneering climate crisis combat. Established in 2015, the initiative's primary objective is to empower companies and financial institutions globally to take immediate action against climate change by setting ambitious greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets. SBTi operates as a charitable entity, with a subsidiary responsible for hosting its target validation services. The initiative has partnered with influential entities such as CDP, the United Nations Global Compact, the We Mean Business Coalition, the World Resources Institute (WRI), and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). SBTi's core focus is to develop standards, tools, and guidance allowing organizations to align their emissions reduction targets with the imperative goal of keeping global heating levels in check and achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. As an organization operating in the Education sector, SBTi serves as a critical player in driving sustainable business practices and environmental responsibility.
