What is a carbon baseline and science-based reduction targets?

Understanding your carbon baseline and setting science-based targets are key steps to effectively measure and reduce your organisation’s environmental impact. At Planet Mark, we believe it always starts with measuring your footprint to set credible, achievable targets.

Carbon baseline

A carbon baseline is the starting point measurement of your organisation’s full carbon footprint, including Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. It provides a clear snapshot of your current greenhouse gas emissions, allowing you to track progress, identify key sources, and set informed reduction targets.

Science-based targets

Science-based targets are greenhouse gas reduction goals aligned with the latest climate science. They provide a clear pathway for businesses to reduce emissions at the scale and speed needed to limit global warming to well below 2°C, and ideally 1.5°C, as outlined by the Paris Agreement.

The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) Net-Zero Corporate Standard is the world’s only framework for corporate net zero target setting in line with climate science. Many procurement teams now require suppliers to demonstrate that they have targets aligned with the SBTi Corporate Net-Zero Standard; Planet Mark can support you in setting and achieving these targets.

How Planet Mark supports your organisation in baseline measurement and SBTi target setting

The Planet Mark Net Zero Certification Programme guides your organisation through accurately measuring its carbon baseline, capturing emissions across Scopes 1, 2, and 3. With this clear understanding of your current impact, we help you set ambitious yet achievable reduction targets aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) Net-Zero Corporate Standard.
