SBTi decarbonisation strategy
Science-based targets you can defend, and a plan to deliver them
For sustainability and decarbonisation teams at manufacturers and OEMs: SBTi-aligned target setting and a costed carbon reduction roadmap, built on product-level life cycle assessment (LCA) data.
We will use the session to match you with the analyst who would run your project.
SBTi support
A target is only as credible as the data behind it.
For many manufacturers and OEMs, most emissions sit in Scope 3, in the materials and components behind each product, where estimates are weakest. We start from product-level LCA data, so your net-zero strategy rests on a baseline you can trace and defend.

Set targets on a baseline you can defend
Targets are only as strong as the Scope 1, 2 and 3 baseline beneath them. We document boundaries, assumptions and data gaps from the start, so the baseline stands up to review by SBTi, customers and investors.
Find the Scope 3 hotspots that matter
LCA traces emissions to specific materials, processes and suppliers, not just spend categories. That shows where reductions are largest and which ones your supply chain can realistically deliver.
Turn the target into a delivery plan
A target sets the destination. We build the costed roadmap to reach it, with levers, owners, timing and investment needs, so progress can be tracked and reported.
WHY IT'S DIFFERENT
From baseline to SBTi-aligned roadmap
Where do emissions arise, which pathway fits your business, and how do you deliver it? One product-level model connects target setting to reduction planning, so they do not have to be separate exercises.

HOW IT WORKS
From scoping call to SBTi-aligned roadmap in three steps
How does an SBTi engagement work with Minviro?
Step 1
Baseline
We establish your Scope 1, 2 and 3 baseline and use LCA on your product data to show where emissions sit, by material, process and supplier.
Step 2
Targets
We assess SBTi pathways and boundaries, model near-term and long-term target options, and prepare the documentation if you choose to submit for validation.
Step 3
Roadmap
The levers behind the target become a costed, staged roadmap with owners and tracking, and the model keeps working for target updates and reporting.
DELIVERABLES
What can an SBTi engagement with Minviro include?
For the teams setting or revising targets, and delivering against them afterwards.
Scope 1, 2 and 3 baseline and hotspot analysis
The foundation for every target. A documented baseline with stated boundaries, assumptions and data gaps, with LCA identifying the materials, processes and suppliers that drive your footprint.
Baseline aligned with the GHG Protocol, with LCA-based hotspots.
SBTi target options and pathway assessment
Which pathway and boundary fit your business, and what near-term and long-term targets look like under 1.5°C-aligned approaches, with the trade-offs explicit before you commit.
Target options with documented methodology and assumptions.
SBTi submission support
Preparation of the target documentation and support through review queries, if you choose to submit for validation.
Submission is optional. We also support science-aligned targets without it.
Scenario & sensitivity analysis
Shows how growth, supplier action and technology change affect your trajectory, and which assumptions your targets are most sensitive to.
Each lever as a re-runnable scenario.
Costed carbon reduction roadmap
The plan that turns targets into funded action: reduction levers by Scope and category, timing, owners, investment needs and dependencies.
A staged roadmap from baseline to target year.
Supplier engagement and product-level levers
For complex bills of materials, LCA quantifies levers such as material substitution, recycled content, lower-carbon supply routes and supplier primary data before you commit.
Prioritised supplier requests and product-level levers.
