SBTi & Net Zero: How Solar Supports Science-Based Targets

A Practical Step Toward Long-Term Decarbonisation

The Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) is the gold standard for companies setting credible Net Zero and carbon reduction commitments. For businesses on the path to Net Zero, reducing Scope 2 emissions from purchased electricity is one of the most impactful—and often quickest—wins.

Shawton Energy helps you and your clients achieve science-based targets with fully-funded solar PV systems that deliver measurable, reportable reductions in carbon emissions.

What Is SBTi?

SBTi provides a framework for businesses to:

  • Set decarbonisation targets aligned with the Paris Agreement
  • Reduce Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions in line with climate science
  • Commit to near-term and long-term Net Zero pathways

More than 4,000 companies globally have committed to science-based targets, with growing pressure on supply chains to follow suit.

How Solar Supports SBTi & Net Zero

R

Scope 2 Reductions

On-site solar PV provides a direct reduction in Scope 2 emissions by offsetting purchased grid electricity with renewable energy.
R

Market-Based Reporting

SBTi allows companies to use the market-based method for reporting Scope 2 emissions, making on-site solar a key decarbonisation lever.
R

Cost-Effective Action

Solar PV helps achieve interim and long-term targets without upfront investment, making it accessible even where capex is constrained.
R
