About the data
The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) Target Dashboard tracks companies and financial institutions that have made commitments or had science-based targets validated by SBTi Services. The dataset covers 15,000+ organisations globally across all sectors and organisation types — including corporates, SMEs, and financial institutions — recording their near-term target status, long-term target status, net-zero status, target classification, and target years. The dashboard is updated every Thursday, with commitment removals taking place once a month, ordinarily on the first Thursday of the month. More information can be found here.
Methodology
This metric records whether a company has joined the Business Ambition for 1.5°C campaign, a joint initiative led by the SBTi, the United Nations Global Compact, and the We Mean Business Coalition. Companies that join the campaign make a public pledge to set science-based targets in line with a 1.5°C pathway and to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 at the latest.
The possible values for this metric are:
Yes — the company has joined the Business Ambition for 1.5°C campaign and made a public pledge to set 1.5°C-aligned science-based targets.
No — the company has not joined the Business Ambition for 1.5°C campaign.
