2025 Methodology update

We are looking for targets that cover Scopes 1, 2 and 3, i.e. supply chain and own operations. These figures must be verified by the Science Based Targets Initiative. You must include a link to the SBTI website from the brand website. 

Please note that while we accept both absolute and intensity-based emissions reduction targets, best practice is an absolute target. We will specifically track which brands have absolute targets versus those with intensity-based targets.

Things to keep in mind:
- Will not allow decarbonisation that does not account for emissions within the supply chain.
