The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) gives businesses a credible, science-aligned path to cutting emissions. With the release of the Corporate Net-Zero Standard V2.0, the framework has been significantly updated, raising the bar for target ambition and bringing greater clarity on Scope 3 obligations. This guide walks you through what has changed, what it means for your business, and how to act on it.

Setting science-based targets sits within the vision step of the corporate decarbonisation journey, after you have measured your emissions baseline and identified the hotspots in your value chain. Figure 1 shows where this step fits in the wider process. This guide is designed to take you through the SBTi as it stands today, including the V2.0 updates, and help you build targets that hold up to scrutiny and drive real reductions.

Here is what you will find inside:

  • What the SBTi is, what V2.0 changes, and how it fits into your wider decarbonisation plan
  • The key business case for setting science-based targets, including regulatory and competitive considerations
  • A step-by-step guide to developing, validating, and implementing your climate targets under the updated standard
  • Case studies from companies already working within the SBTi framework

Whether you are exploring the SBTi for the first time or revisiting your existing targets in light of V2.0, this guide offers the practical context you need to move forward.
