Stakeholders are strongly encouraged to submit their feedback via the official public consultation survey, which is the primary channel through which submissions will be reviewed and analysed.
In cases where stakeholders are submitting consolidated or aggregate feedback that cannot reasonably be submitted through the online survey, these may be sent to standards@sciencebasedtargets.org.
When providing feedback by email, please ensure that:
- Each comment clearly references the relevant section or criterion of the standard; and
- It is specified whether the submission can be made public as part of the consultation summary.
Please note that feedback submitted outside the official consultation channels and unclear or incomplete submissions may not be reviewed or considered as part of the consultation process.
