In a world where climate change poses an unprecedented threat, businesses must take decisive action to reduce carbon emissions and embrace sustainable practices. Pivot Energy is reinforcing its commitment to driving meaningful change in the renewable energy industry by joining the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and setting science-based targets. Setting science based targets is smart for any business that wishes to reduce emissions, improve financial performance, attract and retain customers and investors, build a more sustainable future, and gain a competitive advantage. Keep reading to learn more about the significance of SBTi and why other companies should follow suit in having their decarbonization targets verified by a third party.
Established in 2015, SBTi is a powerful framework that empowers businesses to set carbon reduction targets in alignment with scientific evidence. 1,000+ companies across various industries – energy, transportation, manufacturing, and consumer goods – have already set science-based targets. By adopting SBTi targets, these companies are committing to reducing their greenhouse gas emissions in line with what the latest science recommends to limit global warming to below 2 degrees Celsius. SBTi provides a credible and robust methodology to measure and validate an organization’s carbon reduction efforts.
The SBTi provides companies with the tools and guidance to set ambitious targets. By setting SBTi targets, businesses are working towards addressing climate change and reducing their carbon footprint. This contributes to a more sustainable future and showcases a commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainability.
Setting legitimate decarbonization targets helps companies gain a competitive edge in the rapidly evolving sustainable market. Consumers and stakeholders increasingly prioritize sustainable practices and are more likely to support businesses that demonstrate a genuine commitment to reducing their carbon emissions and environmental impact. A study by the World Economic Forum found that companies that are climate leaders are more likely to be profitable and to attract and retain customers, employees, and investors.
Climate change poses significant risks to businesses, including supply chain disruptions, regulatory pressures, and reputational damage. Setting SBTi targets enables companies to identify potential risks and develop strategies to mitigate them, ensuring long-term resilience and reducing the impact of climate-related risks.
More and more customers and investors are demanding that companies take action on climate change. Investors are increasingly considering environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria when making investment decisions. By adopting SBTi targets, companies enhance their appeal to customers and investors who prioritize sustainable and responsible businesses. Overall, setting science-based targets will align your organization with the growing demand for sustainability-focused initiatives.
