The DFGE-Essentials Series

SBTi Near-Term vs. Long-Term

DFGE Logo White High Res

In this webinar series we will explore the essentials of a companies sustainability approach.

In order to validly underpin a companies own climate strategy, a target setting according to the criteria of the SBTi is decisive. Near-term targets for the next 5-10 years must be supplemented by long-term corporate planning. So that by 2050 at the latest, emissions can be reduced to a minimum residual level that complies with the 1.5°C target. The interrelationship of near-term and long-term targets to achieve the net zero definition is determined by the SBTi target-setting criteria. In this webinar, we will explain the urgency of the initiative, dive deeper into the methodology and build an understanding of the SBTi criteria.
