Understanding the dashboard

The dashboard shows businesses that have validated science-based targets. Target validation is carried out by SBTi Services, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Science Based Targets initiative. It also shows organizations that have committed to set science-based targets, as well as those that have had their commitments removed in accordance with the SBTi Services Commitment Compliance Policy. The information in the dashboard is updated every Thursday, with commitment removals taking place once a month, ordinarily on the first Thursday of the month. Data from the dashboard is available to download in more detail in a by-target or by-company structure in .xls format.

Expand the key for an explanation of the information in the dashboard. You can also download the full data dictionary for a more detailed explanation, including for the information found in the data downloads.

Targets are clearly-defined, science-based pathways for companies and financial institutions to decarbonize their operations and value chains, which have been reviewed and validated by SBTi Services. Details of an organization’s targets can be viewed by expanding the rows in the table below, or downloading the by-target data file. Organizations with targets are identified with green ‘Targets Set’ values in the dashboard.
Commitments are formal expressions of intent to develop near-term or net-zero targets and submit these for validation within 24 months of the date of submission. They are indicated with orange ‘committed’ values in the dashboard. Organizations with commitments do not yet have validated science-based targets. Organizations that fail to submit targets within 24 months of making a commitment are identified with ‘Commitment Removed' values in the dashboard.
Near-term targets outline the amount by which organizations will reduce their emissions, usually within 5-10 years from the date of submission. These targets help galvanize the action required for significant emissions reductions to be achieved by 2030. Near-term targets are also a requirement for companies wishing to set net-zero targets in line with SBTi’s Corporate Net-Zero Standard.
Net-zero targets set out emissions reductions companies need to achieve across all emissions scopes to reach net-zero emissions throughout the value chain no later than 2050 (or 2040 for the power sector). As specified by the SBTi’s Corporate Net-Zero Standard, net-zero targets include both long-term targets for achievement no later than 2050, as well as near-term targets. Currently, only companies and small and medium enterprises can set net-zero targets. The forthcoming Financial Institutions Net-Zero Standard will enable financial institutions to do so.
Long-term targets indicate the degree of emission reductions companies need to achieve by 2050 (or 2040 for the power sector) in order to achieve net-zero according to the SBTi’s Corporate Net-Zero Standard criteria. Most organizations will need to reduce emissions at least 90% to reach net-zero. Long-term targets are only set as part of net-zero targets.
Company temperature alignment indicates the degree of global temperature increase compared to preindustrial levels organizations are aligned with, based on their scope 1 and 2 targets, in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement. Company temperature alignment is identified in the dashboard with one of the following values: 1.5°C, well-below 2°C, or 2°C. Please note: Company temperature alignment is only provided for most companies' scope 1 and 2 targets, not scope 3. The exception is auto manufacturers, which also have scope 3 category 11 temperature alignment. You can find out more here.
Action distinguishes an organization’s commitments and targets.
Status currently applies to commitments only and is defined according to SBTi Service’s Commitment Compliance Policy. It defines whether a commitment is compliant with the policy’s stipulation that a target must be submitted within 24 months of the commitment being made (Targets Set), is awaiting submission within this period (Active), has been granted an extension (Extended),or has been removed for non-compliance (Removed).
Reason for commitment extension or removal gives the reason a commitment has been extended or removed, in accordance with the Commitment Compliance Policy.
Target distinguishes near-term, long-term and net-zero targets.
Scope defines the emission scopes of each of an organization's targets: scope 1, scope 2 or scope 3. Targets usually cover more than one scope.
Target classification specifies the temperature alignment of individual targets: 1.5°C, well-below 2°C, or 2°C. Temperature alignment is not normally given for scope 3 targets. This is because the methods to assess scope 3 alignment are not yet robust enough to provide a benchmark for temperature classification. The exceptions are automakers, which are given temperature alignments for their scope 3 category 11 emissions. As of July 15th 2022, only target submissions of scope 1 and 2 targets that are in line with a 1.5°C trajectory may be submitted.
Base year is the year an organization’s targets are measured against.
Target year is the year an organization's targets must be achieved.
SBTi ID is a unique identifier for each individual organization listed in the dashboard.
More information about each organization’s commitment and targets is available in the data download. A detailed data dictionary is available here.

DISCLAIMER: A validated science-based target represents an entity-specific greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction target that has been validated against SBTi’s public standards and assessment metrics. The SBTi does not offer any assurance that a given entity will achieve, or is on track to achieve, its validated science-based target, nor does the validation of a target implicitly endorse or recognize the means chosen by an entity to achieve said target. A validated science-based target covers only GHG reduction targets and should not be used to claim an entity is making other climate or sustainability related impacts beyond the future GHG reduction target.

Frequently asked questions

Why isn't data companies submit for validation publicly reported on the Target Dashboard?

Treating all commercially sensitive data we receive from companies as confidential allows us to access more detailed information than is available publicly. Which, in turn, enables a more accurate assessment of a company’s science-based target.

How often is the SBTi's website updated with new targets and commitments?

The SBTi's Target Dashboard is updated every Thursday. The exact time of publication varies, updates are usually published by 12PM GMT and no later than 5.30PM GMT. Publication of targets and commitments currently pauses at the end of each calendar year, usually between late December and early January.

What information about my target or commitment will be made public?

Information about companies and their targets and commitments is published on the Target Dashboard.

The following information is published after a commitment is made:

1. Company name

2. ISIN

3. LEI

4. Headquartered region and location

5. Sector

6. Commitment type

7. Commitment status

8. Commitment deadline

9. Reason for commitment extension or removal

10. Commitment publication date

The following information is added once a target is approved:

11. Full target language

12. Target type, scopes covered, base year, target year and target value

12. Company temperature alignment

13. Target publication date

Do you track companies' progress against their targets?

Aware of the need for robust frameworks to be able to monitor, report and assess progress against voluntary climate targets in the corporate sector, the SBTi is conducting research to identify current best practices and critical topics to measure progress and to assess progress against targets in a robust and standardized way as part of the Corporate Net-Zero Standard Version 2. You can find more information on this in the draft Standard.

Meanwhile, companies should report their company-wide GHG emissions and progress against targets through annual reports, sustainability reports, the company’s website, and/or disclosure through CDP’s annual questionnaire and can find some additional information on Reporting in Annex D of the Corporate Net-Zero Standard.

Why are there still companies with well-below 2°C and 2°C targets?

The majority of companies setting new targets after July 15, 2022, are aligned with 1.5°C pathways.

Existing targets in line with well-below 2°C or 2°C that were set before this date, under the previous criteria, remain valid until they are due for an update. Financial institutions can also still set targets in line with well-below 2°C by 2040 for their aggregated scope 1, 2 and 3 portfolio emissions when using the Temperature Rating method under the Financial Institutions Near-Term Criteria, but are encouraged to align with 1.5°C across all scopes. For more information, visit the finance sector page.

What are the emissions scopes? Which scopes do targets have to cover?

The Greenhouse Gas Protocol categorizes direct and indirect emissions into three broad scopes:

· Scope 1: Direct GHG emissions occur from sources that are owned or controlled by the company, for example, emissions from combustion in owned or controlled boilers, furnaces, vehicles, etc.; emissions from chemical production in owned or controlled process equipment.

· Scope 2: Indirect greenhouse gas emissions from consumption of purchased electricity, heat or steam.

· Scope 3: Other indirect emissions, such as the extraction and production of purchased materials and fuels, transport-related activities in vehicles not owned or controlled by the reporting entity, electricity-related activities (e.g. T&D losses) not covered in Scope 2, outsourced activities, waste disposal, etc.

Science-based targets must cover scopes 1 and 2. For companies whose scope 3 emissions cover more than 40% of their combined scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions, targets must cover scope 3.

For guidance on what to include in each scope, please refer to the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard.

For specific guidance on what to include in scope 2, please refer to GHG Protocol Scope 2 Guidance.

For specific guidance on what to include in Scope 3, please refer to GHG Protocol Scope 3 Guidance.
