The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) drives ambitious climate action in the private sector by enabling organisations to set science-based emissions reduction targets.
Science-based targets provide a clearly defined pathway for companies and financial institutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, helping prevent the worst impacts of climate change and future-proof business growth. Targets are considered ‘science-based’ if they are in line with what the latest climate science deems necessary to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement – limiting global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. A company can submit their targets for validation, the relevant forms must be filled; near-term target submission form, near-term submission for financial institutions and the net-zero target submission form. The SBTi has outlined that a 4.2% year on year reduction of your Scope 1 emissions is in line with science-based targets. Targets to actively source renewable electricity at a rate that is consistent with 1.5°C scenarios are an acceptable alternative to scope 2 emission reduction targets. The SBTi has identified 80% renewable electricity procurement by 2025 and 100% by 2030 as thresholds (portion of renewable electricity over total electricity use) for this approach. With Scope 3 as the biggest contributor to your carbon footprint, the SBTi has outlined that 80% engagement of your supply chain must be accounted for by 2025.
CarbonFIT is built around the FIT process, Footprint, Improvement, Track and Translate, whereby we establish baseline Carbon Footprints to determine challenging but realistic Science-Based Targets and devise Net Zero Action Plans with robust KPI’s and associated timelines.
We provide Low Carbon Energy & Legislation Compliance, such as ESOS (Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme) and SECR (Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting). More recently the company has expanded further by developing CarbonFIT – a dedicated program and online platform designed to support organisations with their Carbon Reduction Plans and roadmap individual pathways to Net Zero.
