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 a company's current standing with the Science Based Targets initiative in relation to its net-zero commitment or validated target. Net-zero targets fall under the SBTi's Corporate Net-Zero Standard and require companies to reduce at least 90% of their emissions by 2050 at the latest, with any remaining emissions neutralised through permanent carbon removal solutions.
The possible values for this metric are:
Targets Set — the company has had its net-zero science-based target reviewed and validated by SBTi Services in line with the Corporate Net-Zero Standard.
Committed — the company has made a formal expression of intent to develop a net-zero target and submit it for validation within 24 months of the date of submission. A committed organisation does not yet have a validated net-zero target.
Commitment Removed — the company submitted a net-zero commitment but failed to submit a validated target within the required 24-month window, or had its commitment removed in accordance with the SBTi Services Commitment Compliance Policy.
No Target — the company has no current net-zero commitment or validated net-zero target on record with the SBTi.
