To effectively counter the climate crisis, organizations must understand the impact of their carbon footprint and set science-based targets (SBTs) in line with the Paris Agreement. That means limiting global warming to well below 2°C from pre-industrial levels and pursuing efforts to stay below 1.5°C. Science-based targets help companies quantify how much and how quickly they need to adapt to reduce their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to prevent the worst impacts of climate change, forging a path toward decarbonization.  

Setting SBTs shows that companies are committed to meaningful impact reduction and, through net-zero targets, building a fossil fuel-free future.

In this webinar, our team highlights a new Sustain.Life feature that helps users develop and track their progress against near-term science-based targets (SBTs) and net-zero targets under the absolute contraction method, as well as add and monitor existing targets.


We break down the following:  

  • How to quickly set a scope 1 and 2 SBT for SMEs
  • How to set scope 1, 2, and 3 SBTs
  • Whether to set a scope 3 engagement or reduction target
  • How to set a net-zero target

Moderators:

  • Constanze Duke, Director of Sustainability
  • Jasmine Zhuang, Head of Product

SustainabilityPanelist:

  • Dr. Lyubomyr Matsekh, Sustainability Consultancy Practice Lead at ELEKS
