The Impact of Setting Science-Based Targets on Businesses

This report from the Science-Based Targets Initiative can help you to present a strong business case for setting and delivering upon science-based climate-related targets. The report - which is underpinned by a survey of 171 companies, a literature review of 22 studies, and three case studies - indicates that companies enjoy a broad range of positive effects as a result of setting science-based targets, including improved investor relations, better financing terms, enhanced strategic cohesion, greater alignment with suppliers, resilience across multiple areas of risk, and a faster pace of decarbonisation. This resource will be especially helpful to climate action and strategy professionals.
