Addressing Loose Corporate Targets with the SBTi Net Zero Standard

“The Standard, launched at COP26, tackles slippery net zero definitions, inconsistent approaches and reliance on offsets. External third party verification will provide transparency on annual progress against unambiguous criteria and scope for both short term and long term decarbonization targets across the entire value chain.”
