Governance

The Science Based Targets initiative has three layers of governance and two external advisory bodies.

Meet the Steering Committee.

Project Core Team

This is the main implementation and coordination body of the initiative and is comprised of staff from across the partner organisations. The core team is responsible for helping the initiative deliver its overall goals in coordination with key stakeholders and externally. Meet the SBTi team.

External Advisory Bodies

Technical Advisory Group (TAG)

This is a group of volunteer advisors from business, academia, government, non-profit and multilateral organizations. All members have in-depth knowledge about science-based target setting or expertise in voluntary emission reduction target setting in a corporate context. The group serves in a technical advisory capacity. Meet the Technical Advisory Group.

Scientific Advisory Group (SAG)

This is a group of volunteer experts in climate change mitigation. They provide support developing benchmarks that enable companies to set medium and long-term emissions reduction targets, and credible net-zero target models that incorporate carbon removal and nature-based solutions. Meet the Scientific Advisory Group.
