They are based on current climate research and ensure that your company makes a measurable contribution to limiting global warming to 1.5\u00b0C. With SBTs, you align your climate strategy with concrete, scientifically based targets, setting clear priorities for your decarbonization. SBTs are calculated using different methods, each of which takes into account industry developments and company-specific factors.<\/p>\n<p>This is where DFGE can help: We work with you to find the right method for your company and jointly determine which data and emission sources to include in your calculations. From the initial analysis to implementation, we accompany you through the entire process \u2013 as the first official SBT partner of the CDP in the DACH region. Companies from the DAX, MDAX, and SME sectors already trust us to calculate, analyze, and introduce their Science-Based Climate Targets.[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"ult-spacer spacer-69e26af33fc11\" data-id=\"69e26af33fc11\" data-height=\"10\" data-height-mobile=\"10\" data-height-tab=\"10\" data-height-tab-portrait=\"\" data-height-mobile-landscape=\"\" style=\"clear:both;display:block;\"><\/div>[\/vc_column][vc_column css_animation=&#8221;fadeInRight&#8221;

What are SBTs?&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Science-based targets (SBTs) are scientifically based climate targets that help companies make a measurable contribution to the 1.5-degree target of the Paris Climate Agreement. Unlike self-imposed targets, SBTs are based on strict standards set by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and are validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=&#8221;2. What is the SBTi?&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) is a leading global organization that supports companies in setting science-based climate targets. Founded by CDP, UN Global Compact, World Resources Institute (WRI), and WWF, it provides a clear framework for defining emissions reductions in line with the 1.5\u00b0C target of the Paris Agreement.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=&#8221;3. What is the difference between near-term and long-term targets?&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<strong>Near-term targets<\/strong> define how much a company must reduce its emissions over the next 5\u201310 years \u2013 in line with the 1.5\u00b0C target for Scope 1 &amp; 2 and the \u201cwell below 2\u00b0C\u201d target for Scope 3. These targets are important milestones on the path to net zero and are scientifically reviewed every 5 years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Long-term targets<\/strong> aim for net-zero emissions by 2050 at the latest. Here, all emissions (Scope 1\u20133) must comply with the 1.5\u00b0C target. Unavoidable residual emissions will be offset by compensation measures (e.g., CO\u2082 storage). While near-term targets require immediate action, long-term targets secure the long-term strategy.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab title=&#8221;4. How does SBTi validation work?&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]Validation by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) gives your climate targets scientific credibility. The process is clearly structured and runs entirely via the SBTi platform:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Registration &amp; Commitment<\/strong><br \/>\nYou register on the SBTi platform and submit a commitment letter declaring your intention to set targets. This gives you access to all SBTi resources (tools, guidelines, support) and starts the 24-month target development period. Submission and validation are also carried out via the platform.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Target development<\/strong><br \/>\nThe SBTi Target Setting Tool is used to develop the reduction targets. Your emissions data is analyzed and industry-specific requirements (Scope 1\u20133) are taken into account.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Submission &amp; validation<\/strong><br \/>\nYour targets are submitted for review. The SBTi reviews them against strict 1.5\u00b0C criteria and validates them if successful.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Implementation &amp; monitoring<\/strong><br \/>\nAfter validation, your targets are publicly listed on the SBTi dashboard. Once a year, you report on your progress \u2013 for transparency and continuous optimization.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Duration &amp; costs:<\/strong> The process takes 6\u201312 months, and the costs depend on the size of your company.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][\/vc_accordion]<div class=\"ult-spacer spacer-69e26af36025e\" data-id=\"69e26af36025e\" data-height=\"60\" data-height-mobile=\"60\" data-height-tab=\"60\" data-height-tab-portrait=\"\" data-height-mobile-landscape=\"\" style=\"clear:both;display:block;\"><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221;
