SBTi Submission Support
Maximising Your Success. The Fastest Path to Validation.
Tired of Guesswork?
Remove the gamble. Our proven process and expertise minimise re-submission risk, ensuring your global commitment is validated efficiently and credibly.
The SBTi process is complex, but it doesn't have to be a gamble. We navigate the technical rules and the precise requirements to secure efficient validation, preserving your reputation and accelerating your climate leadership.
The Problem: The High-Stakes Gamble of "Going it Alone"
Many committed companies suffer from Green Hushing—afraid to take action because the SBTi submission feels like a major gamble. This fear stems from three core uncertainties:
The Myth of Perfect Data:
The misconception is that your calculation must be 100% primary data-driven to be accepted. This causes paralysis, leading many to delay submission. Reality: We submit footprints with spend-based data when necessary, which is fully acceptable to the SBTi.
The Cost of Failure:
Paying the submission fee only to be rejected is a major waste of budget, time, and internal morale. Rejection damages the credibility you were trying to build.
Internal Pressure for Unachievable Targets:
Without an expert partner, targets can be framed around guesswork (e.g., matching a competitor) instead of your business's scientific capacity. Senior leaders risk signing off on a target they cannot actually hit.
Our Solution: Technical Diligence. Predictable Process.
Our specialisation is turning the SBTi's complex standards into a precise, technically robust checklist. We manage the process to maximize your chance of approval quickly and cleanly.
Rigorous Pre-Vetting and Confidence Check:
We conduct an extensive audit to ensure your data and methodology are robust and strategically aligned before submission, eliminating known errors. This process is built on technical due diligence, not a gamble.
Navigating Sectoral & Technical Requirements:
The SBTi requires alignment with specific sectoral and technical guidelines (e.g., FLAG, Transport, Buildings). We digest the constantly evolving, hundreds-of-pages-long standards and distill them into a clear, concise plan of action for your business.
Unparalleled Responsiveness:
We prioritize being a reliable partner, ensuring we never miss a response deadline to a technical query during validation. When required, we proactively manage communications and negotiate extended deadlines due to complex data requirements or changing guidance.
Target Defense and Justification:
We build your final targets with data-driven justification, giving you the clarity to push back on arbitrary internal demands. We help you define not just what is achievable, but what is scientifically necessary for your business.

The Result: Speed, Adaptation, and Strategy
The strategy succeeds because we stick around to drive the execution and measure the financial and environmental outcomes. Our advice is responsible for quantifiable reductions for global brands.
The Challenge:
A major e-commerce client committed to SBTi but did nothing for two years, hitting a panic point when the submission deadline arrived. They needed to develop a strategy, audit their old data, and submit in a matter of months.
The Win:
In the space of six months, our team audited the existing GHG emissions, developed a full Net-Zero Strategy, and completed all submission forms. This efficient delivery proved our ability to adapt and successfully manage the process under extreme time pressure.
The Confidence:
For another client, when SBTi changed their guidance after submission, we stepped in to resolve the situation, negotiating an extended timeframe to collect the new year's data and preventing a costly setback.
Stop Being Overwhelmed. Start Getting Results.
The most important feeling we want you to have is assurance that the payoff is worthwhile. By partnering with us, you gain a specialist who ensures the process lands in the right way, translating external validation into true internal buy-in and progress.
