🎯 SBTi Pathway Modeler

Science Based Targets initiative — Corporate Emission Reduction Pathway Calculator

What are Science Based Targets (SBTi)? SBTi enables companies to set emission reduction targets in line with climate science. Companies commit to 1.5°C pathway (most ambitious) or Well-Below 2°C pathway. Scope 1 & 2 targets must cover ≥95% of emissions; Scope 3 targets required if Scope 3 represents ≥40% of total. This tool models your reduction trajectory, checks SBTi coverage rules, and generates your target commitment statement.

Scope 1 — Direct Emissions (tCO₂e)

Combustion in owned/controlled sources, process emissions, company vehicles, fugitive emissions.

Stationary Combustion

Process Emissions

Fugitive Emissions

Scope 2 — Indirect Energy Emissions (tCO₂e)

Purchased electricity, steam, heat, cooling. Use market-based if available, otherwise location-based.

Scope 3 — Value Chain Emissions (tCO₂e)

All other indirect emissions. If Scope 3 ≥ 40% of total, SBTi requires a Scope 3 target.

Purchased Goods & Services (Cat 1)

Business Travel & Employee Commuting (Cat 6/7)

Other Scope 3 Categories

Scope 1 & 2 Near-Term Target

SBTi requires ≥42% absolute reduction by 2030 from 2019 base year for 1.5°C alignment. Must cover ≥95% of Scope 1+2.

⚠️ This tool provides a preliminary pathway model for planning purposes. Official SBTi target setting requires submission to the SBTi Target Validation Team at sciencebasedtargets.org. All targets must be validated per SBTi criteria before public commitment. Consult sbti.org/companies/ for sector-specific pathways and SBTI FLAG criteria for land-based industries.
