1. Overview of SBT Certification

   SBT (Science-Based Targets) are GHG emissions reduction targets set by companies that are aligned with the levels required by the Paris Agreement, which aims to limit the global temperature increase to 1.5°C, well below the 2°C limit relative to pre-industrial level. SBT certification is certified by the SBTi, an international initiative established on May 13, 2021 by four organizations: UNGC (the United Nations Global Compact), CDP, WRI (the World Resources Institute), and WWF (the World Wide Fund for Nature). SBT certifies that the SBT set by companies are based on scientific evidence.
