GLOUCESTER, Mass., December 1, 2020 /3BL Media/ - Pure Strategies joined as a pioneer member of the Science Based Targets Network (SBTN) Corporate Engagement Program, to help advance corporate adoption of science-based targets for water, land, biodiversity, and oceans to complement the important work on science-based targets for climate.  Our team supports our client efforts and SBTN’s program to ensure that companies are working within the limits of the Earth’s systems and to help reverse nature loss and achieve net-zero emissions in line with science. 

The Science Based Targets Network recently launched the Corporate Engagement Program to offer companies and their subsidiaries, consultants, and industry coalitions an opportunity to engage in the development of the methods, tools, and guidance between now and 2022.

  • Helping clients to use the guidance and tools to understand issues to prioritize and where to take action now

“Restoring and protecting nature is essential to halving the Earth’s greenhouse gas emissions by 2030,” notes Tim Greiner, Managing Director for Pure Strategies.  “To help achieve this milestone, Pure Strategies fully supports the SBTN Corporate Engagement Program to help companies set targets beyond climate that will include sustainability goals to protect freshwater, biodiversity, land, and oceans.  After all, good planets are hard to find.  We need to protect ours.”
