Science Based Targets Service

Our Science Based Targets Service empowers organizations for climate action

We recognize the urgency and importance of aligning organizational goals with global efforts to combat climate change. Our Science Based Targets service is designed to help organizations set robust and impactful emissions reduction targets that align with the goals of the Paris Agreement and the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

Science Based Targets are critical to bridging the gap between national climate goals and corporate responsibility. To meet the Paris Agreement’s goal of limiting global warming to well below 2°C, and ideally below 1.5°C, organizations must commit to significant emissions reductions. Our service enables companies to set targets that are in line with the latest climate science and ensure they make a meaningful contribution to the global effort.

Information about Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi)

The Science Based Targets initiative is an organization that has created a process with guidance and standards for organizations to set their own science-based targets, and is currently the most widely accepted standard for science-based target setting.

Fundamental to setting meaningful science-based targets is the development of a robust and complete greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory for Scopes 1, 2, and 3. This is critical as the targets are likely to be the basis for financial and strategic decision making by the organization, and are fundamental to the credibility of the organization in the eyes of external and internal stakeholders.

This is where TÜV Rheinland can help by assisting our clients to produce robust and accurate independent third-party verified GHG inventories. The subsequent target setting process can present various opportunities and options for different target approaches, which our experts are ready to guide you through.

Leveraging our in-house expertise in supply chain management, site audits and decarbonization options, we can help to develop high-level decarbonization plans that provide assurance that decarbonization pathways are realistic and achievable.
