SBTi (Science Based Targets Initiative) is a partnership between CDP, UNGC (United Nations Global Compact), WRI (World Resources Institute), and WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature).

As the greenhouse gas emissions emitted into the atmosphere rise, so does global warming. According to the “BUSINESS AS USUAL” scenario, the world will become uninhabitable in 2050.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi)?

SBTi is also known as the Science Based Targets initiative. It was established with the cooperation of CDP, UN Global Compact, WRI, and WWF in 2015.

Science Based Targets initiative, which operates in the field of reducing corporate greenhouse gas emissions in line with the Paris Agreement, has the following goals:
  • To set and promote emission reduction and net zero targets based on climate science,
  • Providing technical support to companies that adopt a science-based approach to reducing emissions,
  • To provide independent evaluation and verification services with its expert staff in reducing emissions.

What are Science-Based Targets (SBT)?

The Science Based Targets (SBT), created by SBTi, was established to limit global warming to 1.5°C. For this purpose, rational emission reduction targets based on climate science are determined and verified by SBTi.

SBT supports achieving a carbon-neutral future through the elimination of climate-related risks.

How to Determine a Science-Based Target (SBT)?

The Science-Based Targets (SBT) setting process consists of 5 stages:

1- Application: The commitment letter created at this stage shows the commitment to the goal of reducing emissions as an institution.

2- Setting a Target: Science-based emission reduction targets are determined within the framework of SBTi.

3- Verification: Verification is performed as a result of evaluating the determined emission reduction targets by SBTi.

4- Announcement: Approved emission reduction targets are communicated most effectively to inform the stakeholders.

5- Follow-up and Reporting: After the transparent disclosure of corporate emissions, they are followed up and reported transparently at regular intervals.

What Are the Emission Scopes in Science-Based Targets Based On?

When setting a Science-Based Target (SBT) for companies that want to join the fight against global warming, their Scope 1,2 and 3 emissions must meet the relevant requirements: 

Scope 1 and 2: Compliance to limit global warming to 1.5°C. 
Scope 3: Compliance to limit global warming to well below 2°C. 

An SBT is required to include Scope 1 and 2 emissions. 

For the SBT setting, Scope 3 is voluntary-based. However, it becomes mandatory when Scope 1 and 2 emissions account for 40% or more of total corporate emissions.
