Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) - Net-Zero Standard

Self-Assess
International (SBTi)
v2024 (Net-Zero Standard)
12 domains
25 controls

The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) provides a framework for companies to set greenhouse gas emission reduction targets consistent with climate science. Over 7,000 companies have committed to or set science-based targets. The SBTi Net-Zero Standard (2021) requires: near-term targets (50-58% reduction by 2030), long-term targets (90-95% reduction by 2050), and neutralisation of residual emissions. Sector-specific guidance available for: financial institutions, power sector, buildings, cement, chemicals, steel, forest/land/agriculture, aviation, and maritime. SBTi validates targets against 1.5°C pathways. Recognised by CSRD, ISSB, and major ESG rating agencies.

Verified

Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) - Net-Zero Standard is a compliance framework from International (SBTi) with 12 domains and 25 controls that map to 158 other frameworks. The largest domains are Boundary and Coverage (5 controls), Near-Term Targets (4 controls), Long-Term and Net-Zero Targets (3 controls). Every control below carries what it requires and what an assessor expects to see.

Compare Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) - Net-Zero Standard with ITU Radio Regulations and Space Security Standards

What is Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) - Net-Zero Standard and who does it apply to?

Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) - Net-Zero Standard is a compliance framework from International (SBTi) with 12 domains and 25 controls. The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) provides a framework for companies to set greenhouse gas emission reduction targets consistent with climate science. Over 7,000 companies have committed to or set science-based targets. The SBTi Net-Zero Standard (2021) requires: near-term targets (50-58% reduction by 2030), long-term targets (90-95% reduction by 2050), and neutralisation of residual emissions. Sector-specific guidance available for: financial institutions, power sector, buildings, cement, chemicals, steel, forest/land/agriculture, aviation, and maritime. SBTi validates targets against 1.5°C pathways. Recognised by CSRD, ISSB, and major ESG rating agencies. It is used by organisations to establish and maintain compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements.

What does Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) - Net-Zero Standard actually require?

Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) - Net-Zero Standard has 25 controls organised across 12 domains. The largest domains are Boundary and Coverage (5 controls), Near-Term Targets (4 controls), Long-Term and Net-Zero Targets (3 controls). Each control defines specific requirements that organisations must implement to achieve compliance.

If I already comply with another framework, how much of Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) - Net-Zero Standard do I already cover?

Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) - Net-Zero Standard maps to 158 other compliance frameworks. The top mapping partners are ITU Radio Regulations and Space Security Standards (24% coverage), IEC 60601-1 - Medical Electrical Equipment Safety (24% coverage), SASB Standards (20% coverage).
