Short answer
Category B covers smaller organisations under SBTi v2. The bar is lighter than Category A but suppliers may still feel pressure through customer asks.
Who Category B is for
Smaller companies and organisations with a narrower footprint. The exact thresholds depend on revenue, employees, sector and Scope 3 share.
Why Category B suppliers still feel SBTi v2
Enterprise customers preparing for Category A will increasingly ask suppliers for emissions data, targets and evidence. A clean climate profile makes you easier to select.

What is supplier specific emissions data?
Supplier specific emissions data is emissions information sourced from a named supplier rather than estimated from spend. SBTi v2 expects more of it.
