More customers are asking their suppliers to demonstrate credible carbon targets.

For many businesses, the challenge isn't wanting to take action. It's knowing where to start, what data is needed, and how to be sure you're following the right requirements.

That's exactly what the Qonstrue SBTi Blueprint is designed to help with.

Start with where you are today

You don't need to understand the entire SBTi process before you begin. The Blueprint takes you through the journey step by step.

It helps establish:

  • Which SBTi route your business is eligible for.
  • What emissions data you already have.
  • What's missing.
  • What targets are appropriate.
  • What needs to be completed before submission.

Instead of spending hours interpreting guidance, you have a clear route forward.

The requirements are applied as you go

Speed shouldn't mean skipping the important bits.

The SBTi Blueprint is built around the relevant SBTi criteria and greenhouse gas accounting requirements. That means the process accounts for the things that matter: your organisational boundary, your Scope 1 and 2 emissions, the relevant Scope 3 requirements, your base year and your target ambition.

The difference is where the interpretation happens. Rather than handing you the guidance to work through yourself, the Blueprint applies it to your business and your data.

Find the gaps quickly

Already calculated some of your emissions? Good — you don't need to start again.

The Blueprint identifies what you already have and where further information is needed. You might find that your Scope 1 and 2 footprint is ready but there are Scope 3 categories still to assess. Or that your footprint is complete but the targets still need setting correctly.

Either way, your time goes on the gaps rather than on repeating work you've already done.

Move from data to targets

Once the right information is in place, the Blueprint moves you along a defined pathway:

Baseline → Gaps → Targets → Reduction Plan → Submission Readiness

Rather than carbon data sitting in a spreadsheet, it becomes part of a structured route towards credible science-based targets.

For SMEs using the current validation route, SBTi requires near-term Scope 1 and 2 targets plus a commitment to measure and reduce Scope 3. Scope 3 targets become required when you set an SME net-zero target.

Get there faster, without cutting corners

That's the real value of the SBTi Blueprint.

  • You don't have to become an SBTi expert.
  • You don't have to work out every requirement yourself.
  • You don't have to wonder what the next step should be.

The requirements are built into the process, specialist expertise is there when you need it, and your business keeps moving forward.
