This training course equips sustainability professionals with the necessary knowledge and skills required to set near-term SBTs for the Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions. What’s a Science-Based Target? What is the list of Science-Based Target Initiative (SBTi) criteria? We will guide you through a step-by-step process on how to commit and develop your SBT. After setting the SBT, we will be sharing existing solutions that could be considered to reduce your carbon emissions in your manufacturing facilities and your supply chain. During the training, Michael Sadowski, the primary author of the Apparel and Footwear Sector Science-Based Targets Guidance, will explain the importance of companies setting SBTs aligned with the latest climate science to reduce climate impacts.
