In recognition of the importance of stakeholder engagement, particularly for communities and stakeholders affected by company actions, companies are strongly recommended to follow SBTN’s Stakeholder Engagement Guidance when applying methods for setting science-based targets for nature.

Biodiversity loss is a material business risk. SBTN helps companies take credible, science-based action to address this risk by targeting the main drivers of biodiversity loss including land use change, freshwater pollution and over-exploitation.

Here we provide answers to common technical questions that companies have as they are going through the target-setting process.

For our Version 1.0 methods, we have distilled hundreds of pages of our technical guidance into a one-stop resource for corporate sustainability experts and nature leads to prepare to set science-based targets for nature. Similar resources for SBTs for Nature 2.0 are currently under development.
