About the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi)
The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) is a collaboration between the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), the United Nations Global Compact, the World Resources Institute (WRI) and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). The SBTi supports companies with an independent, transparent, and recognised verification process in setting science-based climate targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This contributes to limiting global warming to a maximum of 1.5°C, as envisaged in the Paris Agreement.
