Presentation Title

SCC BAR WG Update – SBTi and SBT

This session explains why the semiconductor sector needs clearer, science aligned guidance to set targets consistent with a 1.5°C pathway, and what that guidance could look like. It covers key challenges with current SBTi aligned target setting, including rapid sector growth, first mover disadvantage, uneven progress, regional constraints on low carbon electricity, and inconsistent Scope 3 approaches. It then sets out a proposed path forward to develop sector guidance, aligned as far as possible to existing best practice, with clear scope for Scope 1 and 2 pathways and practical recommendations for Scope 3 target boundaries and metrics, supported by consultation with industry members and engagement with the SBTi.
