The SBTi has now convened five expert working groups (EWGs) to support the revision of the Corporate Net-Zero Standard.
SBTi will continue to convene expert groups to ensure stakeholder technical input during the standards development and revision processes. These are convened to provide in-depth deliberation on complex technical topics and/or sectors, and run alongside the open, public stakeholder consultation periods, which aim to gather broader feedback from any interested stakeholder.
Sign up to the SBTi newsletter and follow us on LinkedIn to hear about future consultations and new expert groups being convened.
