The journey to net-zero is a critical imperative for businesses globally. The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) provides framework for companies to set ambitious and credible emissions reduction targets aligned with climate science. In June 2026, the SBTi released a revised Corporate Net-zero Standard (Version 2.0), 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 changes in the SBTi Corporate Net-zero Standard V2. We are expecting to explore the implications for businesses, offer practical guidance on how to enhance preparedness and discuss the evolving landscape of corporate decarbonisation.
