In this webinar you will
- Understand the central shifts: We will walk through the core technical changes of the standard released in June 2026, and how the transition timeline impacts your current or future targets and business before compliance becomes mandatory in early 2028.
- Translate Policy into Positioning: Understand the operational advantage of aligning with V2 early, turning your climate commitment into a strategic plan to unlock business value of climate action.
- Understand the implication through case studies: We will illustrate the critical changes through specific corporate case studies.
The update to the SBTi Corporate Net-Zero Standard (Version 2.0) introduces new criteria that shift the focus from setting long-term climate targets to executing immediate, planned emission reductions backed by financial planning.
For companies operating in international markets, aligning with these updated validation rules is increasingly necessary to manage supply chain risks, meet regulatory expectations, and maintain business resilience.
This webinar provides a clear overview of the new technical requirements and their practical impact on corporate strategies. Using real-world corporate examples, we will examine how organizations can update their existing goals to comply with the new version while avoiding common reporting and communication risks.
The session focuses on concrete operational changes, including new board accountability requirements, the mandatory 15-month timeline for Climate Transition Plans (CTPs), and the updated hierarchy for addressing Scope 3 value-chain hotspots. Participants will gain a straightforward understanding of how to adapt their internal data and procurement processes to meet the V2.0 criteria efficiently.
