SBTi v2 for manufacturers

SBTi v2 for manufacturers

Manufacturers sit at the centre of SBTi v2 because their footprint is shaped by raw materials, components and capital goods.

Why your sector is affected

Most manufacturers fall inside Category A and carry Scope 3 well above 80 percent of their footprint.

Likely Scope 3 hotspots

  • Purchased goods and services across raw materials and components.
  • Capital goods, including production equipment and facilities.
  • Upstream transportation and distribution.
  • Use of sold products for energy using goods.

Supplier evidence to prepare

  • Tier 1 supplier specific emissions for the largest commodities.
  • Public disclosures and CDP responses for material suppliers.
  • Methodology notes for any supplier substitutions year on year.

Procurement actions that move the needle

  • Embed climate criteria into RFPs and renewals for top commodities.
  • Track supplier SBTi target status across the spend base.
  • Prioritise switches that reduce embedded emissions, not only cost.
