In , the SBTi will make an exception for acceptable most recent year inventories, allowing , , , or To determine if a target is science-based, our team of experts will review your submission, validate it against our science-based criteria and communicate their decision and detailed feedback.
To submit your targets for validation, please download the target submission form or target-setting letter for SMEs and fill it out as clearly, completely, and accurately as possible. Missing, unclear, or erroneous information will result in the validation process being delayed. Please consult the guidance before filling out the form as it will help you complete the form adequately. Once the form is completed, please send it together with any supporting documents to [email protected].
Once your submission is received, the SBTi will conduct an initial screening to determine if all necessary information is provided and to assess if the target meets a few basic criteria. After this step is complete, the SBTi will reach out with the validation service contract, which must be signed before the target validation process can begin. Please refer to section 3 of the target validation protocol for an overview of each step of the target validation process.
It is important to note that the validation service closes every year from early December to early January. To receive validation results before this closure, companies must submit targets for validation before the end of October. Each year, the earliest target decisions for targets with fully executed contracts from beginning November will be mid-January.
For target submissions received on or after the first week of December, initial screenings will be conducted once the service re-opens in January. Companies going through the target validation process benefit from detailed feedback and support from the SBTi team.
The review process includes a thorough evaluation of each individual target by a team of experts in the field. This includes up to two target assessments. The resubmission fee applies to companies that 1 have already submitted at least once through the paid service or 2 already have approved targets but need to update them. After submission companies will receive a contract describing the service, deliverables and timeline.
After signing the contract, companies will receive an invoice from the SBTi indicating the amount and account information to make the payment. Companies will have to pay within 30 business days from receiving the invoice. In certain cases, the target validation fee may be waived.
When a target submission is received, the SBTi first conducts an initial screening for completeness and to ensure basic criteria are met, which usually takes around a week to conduct. If the submission passess the initial screening, it moves into the contracting stage. Once the validation contract is fully executed by both parties, the target validation service can begin.
Target validation decisions are issued within 30 business days of contract execution if companies are able to respond to any queries during the validation within 2 business days. The SBTi does not guarantee delivery of validation decisions beyond the time frame indicated in the target validation contract. It is also important to note that the validation service closes every year from early December to early January. Due to unprecedented demand, we have now received the maximum number of target submissions to be completed by end This means the deadline for receiving target results this year has now passed.
As this means we will not be completing any additional target assessments in , companies are encouraged to submit their targets before the end of the year using our new booking system. This enables you to book in your validation from January onwards.
Companies must request an exemption in the target submission form to be considered for one. The fee waiving must be requested and justified by email, when sending the Target Setting Letter to [email protected]. If targets are not approved, the company will receive a private email indicating the decision. We will not publicly communicate the fact that a company's target was not approved.
Companies are encouraged to incorporate SBTi feedback and resubmit targets for validation as soon as they are able. The target validation fee includes a second assessment for no additional charge if submitted within six months of the issuance of the first decision.
For more information on the target validation process, consult our Corporate Manual. The SBTi safeguards all information provided by the company to assess its targets in accordance with the target validation service contract, which companies review and sign before the target validation process begins.
The target wording is agreed by the company with the SBTi before publication. The SBTi is currently undergoing a process to track company progress against targets, and released initial results in our Progress Report. In the coming year, the SBTi will issue more specific guidance on what companies are required to report annually on a public basis to facilitate this process in the future.
While new targets will only be accepted if they are consistent with limiting global warming to 1. To ensure targets remain aligned with the most recent climate science, companies will be required to review, and if necessary revalidate, their targets every five years from the date of the original target approval, beginning in This will become mandatory in Companies should notify the SBTi of any significant changes in growth projections and other assumptions that were used in developing the target, as well as the business or data and emissions factors used in the inventory process.
We recommend that companies report these changes publicly, where relevant. In addition, we recommend that science-based targets are recalculated, as needed, to reflect significant changes that would compromise the relevance and consistency of the targets. Companies should publicly disclose their emissions inventory and progress against their targets.
Please see our guidance on CDP disclosure for more information. Business disruption due to COVID may impact the measurement and communication of progress against targets.
The SBTi aims to release additional guidance in the coming years on this topic in general, but have laid out general guidance regarding measurement and communication considering potential business disruptions during this time. Though the impact of COVID would likely not be a reason to recalculate baseline emissions of targets on its own, companies may wish to recalculate science-based targets base year emissions if the pandemic has triggered any of the changes described in Chapter 5 of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, such as structural changes in the business or outsourcing of emitting activities, if these changes exceed company-decided significance thresholds.
The SBTi recommends that each company makes their own determination about the appropriateness or necessity of recalculating base year emissions, but if this decision is made, companies must resubmit relevant targets to the SBTi using our resubmission process as detailed in the SBTi Target Validation Protocol.
The SBTi recommends that companies provide additional context when reporting on progress against targets for and , explaining how COVID has affected company emissions, and therefore target progress. The SBTi currently does not independently make claims or verify claims of science-based target achievement. The SBTi recommends that for companies with or target years, that claims of achievement are either focused on progress in , or discussion of or in context of any business disruptions or effects of the COVID pandemic.
The SBTi released the V5. As communicated in July , the SBTi is ratcheting up ambition to 1. Any target submitted to the SBTi through the booking system before July 15th, - even if the validation start date is after this date - will be eligible to be in line with version 4.
From July 15, companies will be assessed using version 5 of the criteria. In order to reach net-zero emissions by no later than , we need to halve global GHG emissions by This means we need to see emissions reductions on a massive scale in the near term - there is no time to lose.

To validate a document is to make sure its content is compliant with the inputs of the task that produced the document. To validate a stakeholder requirement is to make sure its content is justified and relevant to stakeholders' expectations, complete and expressed in the language of the customer or end user.
To validate the design of a system logical and physical architectures is to demonstrate that it satisfies its system requirements. A validation action describes what must be validated the element as reference , on which element, the expected result, the verification technique to apply, on which level of decomposition.
