Setting science-based targets is becoming essential for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) looking to stay competitive, meet customer expectations, and comply with sustainability regulations. In this video, we break down the SBTi SME target-setting process, explaining how SMEs can take meaningful climate action while aligning with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). • As businesses worldwide face increasing pressure from investors, clients, and regulators to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, setting an SBTi-aligned target can help SMEs future-proof their operations, improve brand reputation, and unlock new opportunities. However, many small and mid-sized companies struggle with where to start. This video provides a step-by-step guide to help SMEs set science-based targets (SBTs) that are credible, actionable, and achievable. • What You’ll Learn in This Video • -An introduction to Science-Based Targets (SBTs) and why they are important for SMEs. • -How SBTi SME target setting works and the key steps involved. • -The business case for setting SBTs, including how they can help SMEs secure contracts with larger corporations and remain compliant with emerging regulations. • -Common challenges that SMEs face when setting SBTs and how to overcome them. • -How to align SBTs with broader ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) strategies and reporting frameworks. • Why Should SMEs Set Science-Based Targets? • Many large corporations and government bodies are now requiring their suppliers to establish validated science-based targets to demonstrate climate responsibility. By setting an SBTi-aligned target, SMEs can enhance their sustainability profile, gain a competitive advantage, and reduce long-term business risks associated with climate change. • Setting science-based targets also helps SMEs prepare for potential regulatory requirements related to carbon reduction, avoid greenwashing claims, and demonstrate a clear commitment to sustainability. With an increasing focus on supply chain decarbonization, many businesses that fail to set targets could lose out on valuable contracts and funding opportunities. • How to Get Started with SBTi SME Target Setting • -Understand Your Carbon Footprint – Measure your Scope 1, 2, and, where possible, Scope 3 emissions. • -Set a Science-Based Target – Align your emissions reduction goal with the latest climate science and SBTi criteria. • -Submit Your Target for Validation – Follow the SBTi’s streamlined process for SMEs to get official recognition. • -Implement Emission Reduction Strategies – Identify energy efficiency improvements, renewable energy investments, and other sustainability initiatives. • -Monitor and Report Progress – Track your reductions and communicate progress with stakeholders. • Stay Ahead in Sustainability • The transition to a low-carbon economy is accelerating, and businesses that act now will benefit the most. If you are an SME looking to develop a credible sustainability strategy, setting an SBTi-aligned target is one of the most impactful steps you can take.
