Silke Mooldijk works at the NewClimate Institute and is part of the core team behind the Corporate Climate Responsibility Monitor.<\/em><\/p>\n

A decade ago, the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) was launched with the goal of mobilising the private sector for climate action. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Today, it stands as the largest and most influential validator of corporate climate targets, having confirmed the 2030 goals of around 5,000 companies.<\/p>\n

Yet new analysis reveals a leniency within the initiative. According to the <\/span>2024 Corporate Climate Responsibility Monitor (CCRM)<\/span><\/a>, the emissions reduction commitments of 51 major global corporates are falling short of what’s needed at the global level. <\/span><\/p>\n

Surprisingly, most of these companies received SBTi validation for their targets to be aligned with the 1.5\u00baC warming limit backed by governments in the Paris climate agreement.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What explains this discrepancy?\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

UN climate chief<\/strong> calls for \u201cquantum leap in climate finance\u201d<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Currently, the SBTi\u2019s 2030 target validations often overlook substantial shares of companies\u2019 full value chain emissions by excluding upstream and downstream value chain emissions, known as \u201cscope 3\u201d. Scope 3 emissions account for the majority of corporate greenhouse gas footprints, sometimes exceeding 95%.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The SBTi requires companies to set a near-term target for scope 3 emissions, but only when those emissions account for more than 40% of their greenhouse gas footprint. However, these targets do not have to cover all scope 3 emissions and only need to be aligned with global warming of 2\u00baC or well below 2\u00baC, not 1.5\u00baC.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While the SBTi checks whether companies have set a scope 3 target, the initiative does not provide a temperature classification for these scope 3 targets – only for companies\u2019 scope 1 and 2 targets, which apply to direct operations and their energy use.<\/span><\/p>\n

Spring Meetings<\/strong> can jump-start financial reform for food and climate<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This important nuance is often missed by the public, as many companies nonetheless prominently advertise their scope 3 climate targets as science-based.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Take Fast Retailing, owner of clothing chain Uniqlo, for example. The company pledges to reduce its operational emissions (scope 1 and 2) by 90% by 2030, which represent just 5% of its total emissions.<\/span><\/p>\n

It also commits to reduce its emissions from procured goods and materials (scope 3) by 20% by the end of this decade. However, upstream emissions in the fashion sector need to be reduced by around 40% to be aligned with global warming of 1.5\u00baC. <\/span><\/p>\n

Whereas the SBTi validated the target for operational emissions as \u201c1.5\u00baC temperature aligned\u201d, the initiative did not provide a temperature classification for the scope 3 target.<\/span><\/p>\n

European court rules<\/strong> climate inaction by states breaches human rights<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yet Fast Retailing also <\/span>describes this target as \u201cscience-based\u201d<\/span><\/a>. This pattern is not unique to Fast Retailing but common across companies validated by the SBTi.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As a voluntary organisation primarily funded by third parties, the SBTi relies on the voluntary participation of companies. Its methodologies need to accommodate the perspectives of various stakeholders.<\/span><\/p>\n

This may explain why the SBTi\u2019s methodologies for 2030 targets are not necessarily always aligned with the scientific consensus on limiting global warming to 1.5\u00baC. <\/span><\/p>\n

However, addressing the lack of stringency in scope 3 targets is key to ensuring that the SBTi can effectively drive corporate climate ambition.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Offsetting controversy<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Despite the large degree of leniency that already exists in scope 3 standards today, there is a significant risk that the rules will be loosened even further. <\/span><\/p>\n

Just this week, the SBTi Board of Trustees issued<\/a> a unilateral and possibly illegitimate decision to <\/span>revise scope 3 standards to allow for carbon offsetting. <\/span><\/p>\n

This decision is not based on scientific insights but comes after a lot of pressure on the SBTi from supporters of carbon markets. SBTi staff have already <\/span>reacted strongly<\/span><\/a>\u00a0to voice their discontent with the decision and the process.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Introducing offsetting in the SBTi scope 3 standards could effectively nullify already insufficient targets, <\/span>reversing years of incremental progress that SBTi and its member companies have fought so hard to achieve.\u202f<\/span><\/p>\n

Forest carbon accounting<\/strong> allows Guyana to stay net zero while pumping oil<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Allowing companies to offset their emissions<\/span> could also deprive their suppliers – who are often located in the Global South – of much needed financial and technical support for their own emissions reduction efforts.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Climate target-setting has become standard practice in the corporate world – progress the SBTi helped foster over the past decade. <\/span>But the recent decision by the SBTi Board of Trustees on offsetting could bring any further advances to a halt. <\/span><\/p>\n

Reversing this decision and tightening the rules for scope 3 targets would be the next step to propel corporate climate ambition forward.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This article argues that the SBTI’s rules are too lax. We have also published a comment piece<\/a> arguing they are too stringent.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Businesses are not required to cut all their value chain emissions
