I would like to know if anyone encountered this same issue. In my company we would like to set a target and monitor ourselves with respect to financed project emissions per million euro in total outstanding amount. Is this a SBTi valid approach? If so, how can the tool be adjusted to set a proper target aligned with 1.5C pathway?
Hi Vitor, for scope 3, category 15, the SBTi currently only accepts targets that use the Sectoral Decarbonization Approach (SDA), SBT Portfolio Coverage, and/or Temperature Rating methods. The SDA is physical-intensity based and not economic-intensity based as the metric you propose.
For further information on these three methods, I’d invite you to take a look at our Training Modules for FIs (e.g., Modules 5-7).
