Take part in developing SBTi Standards
The SBTi develops and updates Standards through a rigorous, transparent and inclusive process. Stakeholder feedback and consultation are central to ensuring Standards remain scientifically robust, credible, and practical. Find opportunities to contribute to SBTi Standards development projects and related engagement activities below.
How SBTi develops Standards
The SBTi follows a structured process for developing and revising Standards, as set out in the Standard Operating Procedure for the Development of SBTi Standards.
The process includes research, technical assessment, public consultation, pilot testing, and formal governance review. These steps help ensure that Standards are grounded in science, informed by practical experience and developed through transparent decision-making.
Depending on the stage of development, stakeholders may have the opportunity to contribute through public consultations, pilot testing or other engagement opportunities.

Open opportunities
The SBTi is inviting feedback on the supporting documentation for the Methods, Metrics, and Pathways that accompany the Corporate Net-Zero Standard V2.0.
The methods, metrics and pathways (MMPs) support implementation of the Standard by providing the calculation approaches, benchmarks and emissions reduction trajectories used to translate climate goals into company-level target setting and performance assessment.
Scope of this public comment period
This public comment period focuses on the clarity, usability, structure, and completeness of this supporting documentation. Feedback will help refine the guidance that supports implementation of Version 2.0 of the Corporate Net-Zero Standard.
Stakeholders are invited to review the methods, pathways, and how they apply across scopes and sectors. Feedback can shape how the MMPs are structured, explained, and implemented. However, the underlying scientific and technical calculations that form the basis of the MMPs have already undergone extensive stakeholder review through two prior public consultations during the development of the Standard, and are not subject to change through this process.
How to participate
Stakeholders are invited to:
- Review the consultation materials and accompanying specification sheets.
- Test the application of methods, metrics, and pathways using the tool.
- Share feedback through the survey.
The public comment period will remain open until July 31.
