It pushes companies to become true climate leaders, demonstrating the type of ambition we need to see to tackle the climate and biodiversity crises. Many of our clients have been doing this for years, channelling finance to projects that create impact beyond their own value chains. The SBTi is now putting a framework around this.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>One of the clear and important objectives of BVCM is for companies to take responsibility for as yet unabated Scope 3 emissions as they work towards ambitious reduction targets. We encourage SBTi to take BVCM to the next level and make it a requirement as opposed to a recommendation – increasing the flow of finance needed to meet near term targets.  \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At the same time, we need to recognize companies for leading in this way.

It states that offsetting is the use of carbon credits instead of internal abatement. This is not the principle that we, nor our clients, follow. Data shows that companies buying carbon credits are decarbonizing at twice the rate of those that are not – setting an internal carbon price helps to accelerate decarbonization.  If the SBTi applied this principle, the outcomes of this paper may have looked very different.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>We will be responding to the consultation with our recommendations.
