SBTi FLAG Target Setting for a Major Australian Food Producer

The Situation

A leading Australian food and agriculture sector company committed to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) that required validation of its emissions reduction targets and annual GHG inventory disclosure.

The company needed to account for both operational and value chain emissions, including those associated with land use and agricultural inputs, while ensuring compliance with SBTi’s FLAG (Forest, Land and Agriculture) requirements and no-deforestation commitments.

Our Solutions

The company engaged Anthesis to:

Prepare a comprehensive GHG inventory for FY23 and FY24 using the RouteZero carbon accounting platform, covering Scopes 1, 2, and 3 emissions.

Calculate FLAG emissions linked to land use change and agricultural supply chains.

Provide guidance on SBTi target setting, documentation, and submission for validation.

Develop an actionable roadmap outlining business-as-usual trajectories, reduction opportunities, and pathways to meet SBTs.

Conduct a value chain deforestation risk assessment, including supplier certification reviews, to support compliance with no-deforestation commitments.
