Recent months have seen a surge in global businesses making science-based emissions reduction commitments through the science-based targets initiative. Many of these companies will undoubtedly be looking for help in both setting a validated target and then implementing it. Other companies will be thinking about how they too can join the initiative: as well as playing their part in accelerating the transition to a low carbon economy, companies setting science-based targets experience a range of business benefits.
To provide companies with the support they need and drive uptake and implementation of science-based targets, CDP is very excited to announce our first accredited science-based targets partners. CDP’s Director of Science-Based Targets, Alberto Carillo Pineda, said:
“We are delighted to have launched this new partnership and to be working with the below organisations. We are confident that their experience and expertise will be of great value to companies looking to set and implement science-based targets and align their strategies with the goals of the Paris Agreement.”
Already a CDP climate change consultancy partner for a number of years, Carbon Credentials has become our first UK-based science-based targets partner.
