Science Based Targets Consulting
End-to-end SBT consulting support, enabling organisations across the globe to play their role in cutting their emissions and combating the climate crisis through the Science Based Targets initiative.
The transition to a low-carbon economy is underway and accelerating globally, with over 6,000 companies taking science-based climate action by committing to set science based targets (SBTs). The practice of setting SBTs enables companies get on track and future-proof growth and is one of the best practices for publicly communicating a company’s commitment to limit the effects of climate change.
With the ultimate goal of reducing the most severe impacts of climate change, some businesses align their target ambitions with the 1.5C pathway, while others aim even higher with bolder commitments to fully neutralise their carbon emissions. While making these commitments and setting the targets are excellent first steps, the annual monitoring, measurement and reporting of progress against SBTs becomes even more critical.
At Anthesis, we view the process of setting Science Based Targets not merely as a checkbox but as a transformative business journey. Our end-to-end SBT consulting support distinguishes us as the preferred partner for businesses aiming to make a genuine impact. We guide our clients through the entire process, from target development and validation to communication, implementation, and ongoing progress tracking.
