This resource represents ISEAL’s submission to Science Based Target’s Initiative’s Corporate Net-Zero Standard v2.0 draft consultation. The submission draws on ISEAL’s thought leadership in defining credible practices for sustainability systems, as well as input from ISEAL community members working to decarbonise industry in their respective sectors.

The SBTi plays a critical role in enabling and accelerating corporate climate action, and ISEAL welcomes the proposed shift in the draft CNZS v2.0 to incentivise and recognise climate action and progress, to broaden accessibility for SMEs, to provide a more nuanced approach to substantiating progress on scope 3, and to incentivise beyond value chain mitigation.
