Your science-based target is only as strong as the inventory behind it.

We build the inventory, develop your SBTi-aligned targets, and manage the validation process.

SUPPORTING LEADING COMPANIES SETTING SCIENCE-BASED TARGETS
WHY NOW

SBTi isn't just for large enterprises anymore.

Mid-market companies across manufacturing and industrial sectors are being asked by customers to measure emissions and set science-aligned targets, whether they’re ready or not.

The new SBTi Corporate Net-Zero Standard V2.0, released in June 2026, makes this more accessible for smaller companies.

The pathway is clearer. The work is still real.

how we work with you

Good.Lab’s GHG target setting process and timeline.

6 - 10 WEEKS (if needed)

Build the GHG baseline

If you don’t already have a GHG inventory, we can build it: a complete, audit-ready Scope 1, 2, and 3 inventory using GHG Protocol methodology. This is the foundation everything else rests on. Already have one? We’ll review it before we stake a target on it.
2 - 4 WEEKS

Set the science-based target

We evaluate your pathway options, determine your category under V2.0, run reduction scenarios, and set targets that meet SBTi criteria you can actually defend.
2 - 4 WEEKS

Submit and validate

We prepare the package, manage the SBTi review, respond to reviewer questions, and keep the process moving through validation.
ONGOING

Track and report progress

We build the data infrastructure to monitor progress year over year, satisfy disclosure frameworks, and flag where you're on track.

Think of us as your extended sustainability team - we've got you.

CREDIBILITY

Inventory first, target second.

Most targets fail under scrutiny because the data behind them wasn’t built to be defended. If you don’t have a Scope 1, 2, & 3 GHG inventory, we can help you build one.
