Communications guidance for companies and financial institutions
This guide supports companies and financial institutions with validated science-based targets or commitments to accurately and effectively communicate their involvement in the initiative.
Who should use this guide?
This guide can be used by companies and financial institutions that have made commitments to set targets or have validated targets. It is not for use by consultancies or third parties looking for guidance on logo usage.
This guide is not applicable to the Corporate Net-Zero Standard V2.0 for which a Claims Policy is in development. The SBTi may make further adjustments to this guidance in 2027 to align language across all standards and the Claims Policy.
The Target Dashboard shows businesses that have validated science-based targets and organizations that have made a commitment to setting science-based targets.
This guide does not constitute legal advice so please ensure that your communications conform with all relevant laws and regulations that apply to your organization. These could include regulations on advertising, trade, competition and consumer protection.
