Achieving climate neutrality is becoming increasingly important for companies and is becoming part of their corporate objectives as part of their climate strategy. The aim is to continuously reduce CO2 emissions throughout the company and its value chain. Since a complete avoidance of CO2 emissions is difficult to achieve, companies invest in climate protection projects…
In September 2020, the Science Based Targets (SBT) Initiative published the first scenarios with which companies can even develop into a “net zero” and in the best case scenario into a “climate positive”. CO2 compensation / neutralisation is a proven aspect of these approaches. This SBTi video reviews neutralisation as it relates to the SBTi…
Companies interested in bringing their CO2 emissions towards Net Zero should consider the new report from the Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi), which will probably be published in November this year, just in time for COP26. The new paper lays out the conceptual foundations for credible, science-based net-zero targets for the corporate sector. Science Based Targets…
This video covers guiding principles relating to emissions abatement criteria; overviews the emissions abatement target-setting method and criteria as they relate to interim and net-zero science-based targets; and reviews the questions that are available for the SBTi Net-Zero Standard Criteria public consultation. Various approaches for the calculation of science-based targets are available (contraction, compression, convergence).…
We’ve all heard of it: the aim of becoming „net-zero“. Companies around the world are setting net-zero targets, yet there currently isn’t a global standard to distinguish what truly constitutes a science-based net-zero target. Now, in the lead-up to COP 26, the SBTi is hard at work developing the first-ever global standard for net-zero criteria.…
„CO2 offsetting is greenwashing“ is a common reproach. Critics complain that companies hold on to their environmentally harmful business – and offset CO2 to give themselves the green image of „climate neutrality“. What does “greenwashing” mean? Is the criticism justified? And how does the DFGE clearly distance itself from greenwashing? Greenwashing: the creation of a…
Eine von Erstausstattern getriebene Nachfrage Automobilhersteller sehen sich zunehmend steigendem Druck gegenüber, die Emissionen ihrer hergestellten Fahrzeuge zu reduzieren, da sich rund 12% der gesamten EU-weiten CO2-Emissionen auf PKWs zurückführen lassen. Ziel der Unternehmen sollte sein, in Teilen oder im Gesamten die Klimaneutralität zu erreichen. Vor dem Hintergrund dieses wachsenden Drucks steht eine seit 2015…
Unternehmen, die daran interessiert sind, ihre CO2-Emissionen in Richtung ‚Net Zero‘ zu bringen, sollten den neuesten Bericht der Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) berücksichtigen, der im September dieses Jahres veröffentlicht wurde. Darin werden der Ausgleich und die Neutralstellung von CO2-Emissionen als wirksame Instrumente für den Übergang zu einem „Net Zero“-Status anerkannt und fünf mögliche Strategien zur Erreichung…

Science Based Targets (SBTs) are reduction targets calculated on a scientific basis to ensure global warming from the pre-industrial era is limited to well below 2°C, ideally 1.5°C. Developing SBTs and committing to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) will allow companies to gain competitive advantages by reducing costs related to CO2 emissions and help…
