Our contribution to industrial CO2 reduction Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi)
Together for industry decarbonization
Making responsibility measurable - SBTi
Scientifically sound climate targets for companies worldwide
J.J. Darboven is committed to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and pursues ambitious, science-based climate targets. These are aligned with the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement, which aims to limit global warming to an average of 1.5°C.
The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) is a corporate climate action organization that enables companies and financial institutions worldwide to play their part in combating the climate crisis.
It develops standards, tools and guidance which allow companies to set greenhouse gas
(GHG) emissions reductions targets in line with what is needed to keep global heating below catastrophic levels and reach net-zero by 2050 at latest.
The SBTi is incorporated as a charity, with a subsidiary which will host target validation
services. Partners are CDP, the United Nations Global Compact, the We Mean Business
Coalition, the World Resources Institute (WRI), and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF).
