Science-Based Targets (SBTi) Services
For manufacturers, setting a science-based target is no longer just a signaling exercise. Customers, investors, and procurement teams increasingly expect validated targets backed by credible data and clear execution plans.
ADB Sustainability helps mid-market manufacturers develop, validate, and operationalize Science-Based Targets (SBTi), ensuring targets align with business realities, emissions profiles, and long-term strategy.

Proof in Practice
Experience supporting a mid-market manufacturer in turning years of carbon accounting into science-based emissions targets — ultimately approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) — helps shape ADB Sustainability’s perspective on credible climate commitments.
The targets balanced ambition with feasibility, reinforced customer confidence, and offered a structured path for sustained emissions reduction over time.
