In earlier posts, I covered the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and its influence on carbon offsets, especially for Scope 3 emissions. Today, I’ll provide an update on recent SBTi revisions to the Corporate Net-Zero Standard and what they mean for businesses.
In recent years, the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) has played a pivotal role in guiding companies toward meaningful climate action, particularly through its Corporate Net-Zero Standard. With new developments emerging between 2021 and 2024, including the introduction of Environmental Attribute Certificates (EACs) and updated Scope 3 guidelines, SBTi continues to shape the path for corporate climate commitments.
These revisions bring both opportunities and challenges for businesses aiming to meet ambitious climate targets. In my latest article, I explore the key updates from SBTi, the implications for businesses, and the increased focus on high-quality offsets and transparency.
