Target setting process questions
Here we provide answers to common technical questions that companies have as they are going through the target-setting process.
Corporate Manual
The SBTN Corporate Manual was published in response to corporate demand to make the target-setting process as accessible and actionable as possible.
This resource is intended to help corporate sustainability experts and nature leads set science-based targets for nature, distilling much of our technical guidance to date (as of July 2024) with a focus on clarity and simple language. It lays the groundwork for target setting by:
- helping prepare you for conversations with leadership to gain buy-in,
- to allocate necessary resources, and
- to brief staff or consultants.
As of Spring 2025, the Corporate Manual is also available in Japanese and French.
Corporate Manual content is also available in an interactive format, accessible by navigating the 5-step process menu on this webpage.
With this foundation, you and your team can then use the comprehensive technical methods available in our Resources Library.
