SBTN’s Corporate Manual for setting science-based targets for nature

About this Document

Science Based Targets Network | July 2024

The SBTN Corporate Manual is intended for corporate sustainability experts and nature leads at companies preparing to set science-based targets for nature. It provides an overview of all existing technical guidance from the Science Based Targets Network (SBTN) for target setting. It will help you understand next steps in your target-setting journey and point you toward further resources to support you in the process.

The manual will be updated over time to incorporate and reflect all advances in the guidance and methods based on the latest science and regulatory developments. This Corporate Manual synthesizes the July 2024 release of SBTN’s technical guidance on Step 1: Assess (V1.1), Step 2: Interpret & Prioritize (V1.1), and Step 3 Freshwater: Measure, Set & Disclose (V1.1), as well as all related validation requirements.

The manual also provides a summary of Step 3 Land: Measure, Set & Disclose (V1) and the Stakeholder Engagement Guidance (V1). In addition, the manual offers a high-level introduction to upcoming materials on additional biodiversity coverage, namely Step 3: Ocean, Step 4: Act, and Step 5: Track.
