The journey to net-zero is a critical imperative for businesses globally. The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) provides the leading framework for companies to set ambitious and credible emissions reduction targets aligned with climate science. In March 2025, the SBTi released an initial draft of its revised Corporate Net-zero Standard (Version 2.0) for public consultation, signaling significant updates to corporate net-zero strategies, target setting, and reporting.

      Join KPMG in India and SBTi experts for an insightful webinar designed to unpack the key proposed changes in the SBTi Corporate Net-zero Standard V2 and get the opportunity to offer your feedback. We intend to explore the implications for businesses, offer practical guidance on how to enhance preparedness and discuss the evolving landscape of corporate decarbonisation.
