SBTi Services Limited

The company functions as the wholly owned subsidiary of the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi), a UK-registered charity and standard-setter that develops methodologies for ambitious decarbonization aligned with limiting global warming. SBTi Services provides independent validation services, separating this commercial function from the parent's standard-setting role to ensure impartiality and scalability amid rising demand for credible climate commitments.

Its validators review submissions for conformance with SBTi criteria, including near-term and net-zero targets covering Scopes 1, 2, and 3 emissions. Validated targets are published on the SBTi platform, supporting transparency for investors, customers, and stakeholders. The entity serves organizations globally, with services extending to sectors such as chemicals, where it has validated pioneering targets like those submitted by Arkema for 2035 reductions and net-zero by 2050.

Profits from validation fees support the broader mission of the SBTi. As a small company with growing operations, it employs staff dedicated to target assessment and maintains governance through a board of directors reporting ultimately to the SBTi trustees. This structure positions SBTi Services Limited as a critical enabler in the corporate climate action ecosystem, facilitating the transition to science-aligned emissions pathways worldwide.
