Science-based targets: With great power comes great responsibility
What is the SBTi and what kind of transition is it currently going through?
More companies than ever are setting decarbonisation goals through the Science-Based Targets Initiative, but this increasing popularity has also focused a critical spotlight on the initiative, which has recently made some significant changes to its organisational structure.
