Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTI) gives companies a clear roadmap to cut greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, tackling climate change and future-proofing business growth. It helps businesses set emissions reduction targets grounded in climate science. Its goal is to ensure companies align their carbon reduction strategies with the Paris Agreement, aiming to limit global warming to well below 2°C, with efforts to stay within 1.5°C.
Companies, financial institutions, and SMEs.
To mobilize corporate and private sector action and leadership in climate action through science-based guidance across industries.

It can align brands, labs, suppliers, and retailers with growing consumer demand for climate-conscious products, strengthen resilience against future regulatory pressures, and contribute to global climate action and industry leadership. The STBi offers sector-specific guidance and reviews company reduction targets to ensure they meet scientific criteria.
