SBT
Submit your SBTi application with confidence
Science-based targets (SBT) are targets that help companies define their journey to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, helping prevent the worst impacts of climate change and future-proof business growth. Targets are considered ‘science-based’ if they are consistent with the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement.
Companies committed to the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) are demonstrating that creating a climate-secure world goes hand-in-hand with successful business operations.
It has been proven that setting up SBT can help a company grow by boosting profitability, improving investor confidence, driving innovation, reducing regulatory uncertainty, and strengthening brand reputation.
With SBT experts in-house and the Enistic platform, getting your SBT and submitting your application for SBTi has never been easier.
Accurate and transparent data
Scope 1, scope 2, and full scope 3 analysis (including Supply Chain) are built in from the start. Simply enter your data and let the software do the heavy lifting. Work with our experts to successfully establish SBTs and submit your SBTi application.

Measure
Baseline emissions are a record of the greenhouse gases that have been produced in the past and are the reference point against which emission reductions can be measured.
Aims and targets
Targets allow you to judge whether the plans you made to reduce your carbon emissions are working, and whether the reductions achieved are meaningful.
Reduce
Select best carbon reduction projects for you and your business, based on your values, the cost, and likely payback time.
Track
Track your carbon emissions to reflect the changes and compare how well you are doing against the targets.
Offset
Offset schemes work by paying volunteers, companies or charities to do things which ‘negate’ your carbon emissions, for example, planting trees.
Certify
Certification is a valuable process that provides checks and balances for the sector.
Why is it important to set SBTs?
Setting Science-Based Targets (SBTs) shows a clear commitment to sustainability. Governments, investors, and customers increasingly demand transparency and emissions reductions, SBTs help you meet these expectations and avoid future penalties. They can also highlight carbon hotspots within your business, helping you manage risks, improve efficiency, and cut costs. Having SBTs in place enhances your brand reputation, strengthens stakeholder trust, and creates a clear, science-backed path to a more sustainable future.
Why are SBTs so important
If you set up carbon targets without following an approved standard such as SBT, your targets might be vague, unmeasurable, or without any clear link to what’s actually needed to tackle climate change. Science-Based Targets (SBTs) are aligned with the latest climate science and show exactly how much and how quickly your organisation needs to cut emissions to do its fair share. They’re credible, recognised globally, and give customers, investors, and regulators real confidence that you’re not just making promises, you’re taking meaningful, measurable action. Plus, setting SBTs now puts you ahead of incoming regulations and helps you drive real operational efficiencies and savings.
