SBTN Reporting
Science Based Targets Network implementation for nature-positive
business transformation and credible sustainability reporting.
What is SBTN?
The Science Based Targets Network (SBTN) provides businesses with guidance to set targets that maintain Earth’s systems within scientifically-defined planetary boundaries. Building on the work of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) for climate, SBTN extends the concept to all aspects of nature.
SBTN targets are measurable, actionable, and time-bound objectives that enable companies to align their business strategies with scientific thresholds relevant to their impact areas. They are designed to ensure businesses operate within Earth’s limits while meeting stakeholder needs.
