Aluminum
One of the world’s most commonly-used materials, it is important that aluminum companies decarbonize in line with science. The SBTi does not have a specific 1.5°C guidance for this sector. Aluminum companies can set science-based targets using our cross-sector methods.
Guidance for the aluminum sector
Why take action?
The aluminum sector has an important role to play in the transformation to a net-zero economy. According to the International Aluminium Institute (IAI), this sector emits more than 1 gigatonne of carbon dioxide equivalent annually and demand is rising.
How to set a target
Aluminum companies should set science-based targets using our cross-sector methods, by following our step-by-step process.
All businesses can use the SBTi Criteria Assessment Indicators (CAI) to understand the relevant criteria by sector or target type. The CAI consolidates all criteria across SBTi resources, providing businesses with verifiable control points to use when developing science-based targets. It also provides clear and concise descriptions of the minimum documentation required to demonstrate alignment with each criteria point.
