GLOBAL - Growing calls are being made for science-based targets to be widened to include companies' impact on water, land, biodiversity and oceans – as well as climate change.
Environmentalists have been inspired by the success of the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) in working with companies to help them play their part in meeting the climate change targets of the Paris Agreement.
Initial guidance to industry on plans to introduce similar targets on minimising impacts in a host of other areas, including freshwater, land, biodiversity and oceans, was recently issued by the Science Based Targets Network (SBTN).
