- 6. Alignment of LandTargets SBTN Land Targets utilize your existing work on climate and deforestation- and conversion- free commitments as momentum for your commitments to nature Land targets also align with the two major international frameworks related to land and biodiversity Montreal-Kunming Global Biodiversity Framework
- 7. Target 1: NoConversion of Natural Ecosystems Companies in certain sectors, with material land pressures, will commit to no conversion of natural ecosystems after a fixed cut-off date. The target dates are differentiated according to: •the stage of value chain, •the type of commodities sourced, and •the origins of those commodities. Target requirements Stage of value chain Location of operation Deforestation and conversion free (DCF) target Site owners/operators All ecosystems 2025: 100% deforestation and conversion free (DCF) across all sites Producers All ecosystems 2025: 100% deforestation and conversion free (DCF) across primary and secondary commodities (A commodities and B commodities) Stage of value chain Origin of commodities A- commodities + 10 % threshold of materiality1 B – commodities Direct sourcing Group 1 ecosystems 2025: 100% DCF Other ecosystems 2027: 80% DCF 2030: 100% DCF Indirect sourcing (raw or processed) Group 1 ecosystems 2025: 80% DCF 2027: 100% DCF 2027: 80% DCF 2030: 100% DCF Other ecosystems 2027: 80% DCF 2030: 100% DCF 2030: 100% DCF Indirect sourcing (embedded or highly transformed) All origins 2025: 80% DCF OR compensated2 2027: 100% DCF OR compensated 2027: 80% DCF OR compensated 2030: 100% DCF OR compensated
- 8. Target 2: LandFootprint Reduction This target reduces the land needed to produce the products in their value chain over time in working lands used to produce or extract land-based products – not necessarily all land owned or controlled by companies. A company is required to set a Land Occupation Reduction target if they align with the following thresholds: 1. Meet the Criteria to set an SBTI FLAG target; and 2. Score 8 or higher on Terrestrial Use in the Sector Materiality Tool Direct Operations score; and 3. Have a land occupation footprint of >50,000 hectares as calculated by the ‘Land Metrics’ section within the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Land Sector and Removals Guidance; and/OR 4. Have 10,000 or more full time employees Land occupation is the amount of land required per year to produce or extract the products produced or sourced by a company, and it is reported in hectares per year.
- 9. Target 3: LandscapeEngagement Companies are required to set a Landscape Engagement Target if: It is identified during SBTN’s Step 1 (Assess) that land-associated pressures ‘terrestrial ecosystem use’ or ‘soil pollution’ are material. Companies then select landscape initiatives in a few places that are most material and engage. Landscape Engagement is broad by design and encompasses a variety of potential actions that companies and other stakeholders can collectively implement for achieving holistic, multiple-objective, environmental, biodiversity, and social outcomes. This target addresses the regenerative, restorative, and transformative actions required by companies setting Science Based Targets for Nature.
