Science-based Targets Consulting
Science-Based Targets (SBTi) Services
Align with the Paris Agreement. ECG helps you set, model, and validate science-based targets that drive real decarbonization and investor trust.
Setting Science-Based Targets (SBTs) aligns your company’s climate goals with the Paris Agreement, demonstrating a credible and ambitious commitment to decarbonization. The Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) provides the world’s most recognized framework for this process, ensuring your targets are robust, transparent, and contribute meaningfully to limiting global warming. ECG provides comprehensive, end-to-end support to help your organization set, validate, and achieve its Science-Based Targets efficiently and effectively.
What are Science-Based Targets?
SBTs are greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction goals that are in line with what the latest climate science deems necessary to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement—limiting global warming to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels, and pursuing efforts to limit warming to 1.5°C. Over 2,000 businesses worldwide are engaged with the SBTi, making it the gold standard for corporate climate action.
