As the demand for meaningful corporate climate action accelerates, science-based targets (SBTs) have become a cornerstone of sustainable business strategy. These targets align greenhouse gas reduction goals with the latest climate science and demonstrate genuine commitment to decarbonization. In this blog, we break down what science-based targets are, why they matter for your organization, and how industry leaders like SK Tes use them to drive transparent, future-focused sustainability programs.

What Are Science-Based Targets? In corporate sustainability, science-based targets (SBTs) are a defining framework. These targets align a company’s greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction efforts with the level of decarbonization required to limit global warming to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels, as described by the Paris Agreement. By setting science-based targets, companies assure that their climate actions are in line with the latest climate science, providing a clear path toward a sustainable future.

In the face of the escalating climate crisis, an increasing number of organizations are committing to various carbon emission goals such as net zero, carbon neutrality, and climate neutrality. This blog post will demystify these terms and explain how they form part of our strategy to mitigate the effects of climate change. Understanding the Jargon: Net Zero, Carbon Neutrality, and Climate Neutrality What Does Net Zero Mean? "Net zero" is a comprehensive term for the goal of balancing the amount of greenhouse gases (GHGs) produced using carbon sinks or offsetting projects to achieve zero carbon emissions. This term describes a broad societal goal that addresses the necessity of carbon emission reduction.
