SBTi v2 Target Cycle Urgency

• Target renewal works best when the supporting evidence is ready early.
• Late changes to methodology slow down internal sign off.
• Stakeholders are watching for consistency between current targets and v2 plans.

• Targets set under v1 with renewal due soon.
• Limited supplier specific data in the existing inventory.
• Transition plan written but not yet evidenced.

1. Map your renewal timeline to the SBTi v2 window from early 2027.
2. Identify the Scope 3 categories where supplier data needs an upgrade first.
3. Confirm the transition plan owners across procurement, finance and operations.
4. Plan an evidence review at least six months before submission.

• Quickly upgrade supplier data on the categories that move your number.
• Track supplier SBTi target status across your spend base.
• Build the evidence pack alongside your renewal timeline.
