An Overview of SBTi’s DRAFT Corporate Net-Zero Standard Version 2.0 for Public Consultation

The Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) has released draft Version 2.0 of its Corporate Net-Zero Standard for public consultation. This updated version, published in March 2025, introduces new requirements for businesses to set, track, and adjust their near-term and net-zero targets.

Coming at a pivotal time as many companies are looking to revalidate their targets, the draft emphasises action and offers flexible pathways for companies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 or sooner.

In this webinar, our Net-Zero experts discuss:

• The key changes proposed in Version 2.0 of the Corporate Net-Zero Standard.
• What these changes may mean for your business, your current targets, and targets that you may be setting or revalidating.
• How best to engage in the public consultation period, and our recommendations for providing feedback.

The webinar provides you with an understanding of the proposed changes and implications in the draft Version 2.0 of the Corporate Net-Zero Standard, and ensures your organisation’s SBTs remain credible, ambitious, and science-driven.

This webinar also offers the necessary overview for your business to provide thoughtful feedback to SBTi during the public consultation to meaningfully shape the final version of this standard.
