Dataset Factsheet

Climate Targets

Market-leading dataset providing comprehensive coverage of corporate climate commitments across 5,000+ companies globally. Our data captures both absolute and intensity-based reduction targets with unparalleled granularity, including baseline figures, and achievement tracking. Fully standardized, our data spans over 200 'as reported' intensity metrics, standardized into 28 comparable sub-categories, surpassing traditional sources like SBTi and CDP in detail and standardization.

Unique Data Value Proposition

Tracenable's GHG emissions reduction target data sets the market benchmark for precision, standardization, reliability, and granularity. Learn why our data stands apart:
Beyond Market Standard
Tracenable's GHG emissions reduction target data offers greater detail and standardization than SBTi or CDP data - not only in terms of units and directionality coverage, but every data point includes information on baseline figures and achievements against targets whenever available, facilitating immediate application for calculating temperature alignment scores and other critical environmental assessments.
Maximized Completeness
Our advanced algorithms synthesize climate targets across multiple sources to create the most complete picture possible. When a company reports target details in different documents, such as baseline in annual reports and progress updates on their website, we integrate all data points to provide continuous, up-to-date tracking of commitments and achievements.
Precision in Every Figure
Our cross-source validation ensures precise tracking of climate commitments and achievements. For instance, we capture exact baseline emissions of 1,542,450 tCO2e rather than rounded figures, while maintaining clear links between targets, baselines, and achievement metrics.
Exceptionally Granular & Fully Standardized
We standardize intensity-based targets using over 200 'as reported' metrics mapped to 28 comparable categories. This unique approach enables meaningful comparison of targets across companies, sectors, and time periods, while preserving original reporting detail.
End-to-End Data Traceability
Every climate target and achievement metric is traceable to its original source with exact page references and documentation of calculation methodologies. This transparency enables confident verification of corporate climate commitments and progress claims.
Full-Scope Boundary Verification
We tag GHG emissions reduction targets that do not cover a company's entire organizational or operational boundaries with an 'Incomplete Boundaries' attribute. This attribute enhances transparency and ensures the comparability of our data by keeping you informed of any potential limitations.
