The UN Global Compact Network UK and the Science Based Targets initiative hosted a webinar series to support companies to overcome common challenges related to setting and implementing science-based targets. This webinar, the first in the series, focused specifically on achieving internal buy-in.

Setting a 1.5°C aligned science-based target is one of the most effective ways for a company to demonstrate the highest level of climate action ambition. For many companies, one of the first steps in committing to set a science-based target is to attain support internally.

Reducing emissions is likely to have an impact on stakeholders throughout a company's entire value chain, making it important to gain buy-in with all relevant actors across business units, the value chain, and up to the C-Suite from the beginning of the process. A cross-departmental approach ensures more efficient data collection and action, as well as supporting the identification of emissions hotspots most relevant to a company.

This webinar aims to support those interested in setting science-based targets in achieving internal buy-in across business departments and senior management by exploring the business case for science-based targets, and providing practical tips on building internal support as well as how to navigate potential challenges and push-back. The webinar featured expert guidance and best practice examples from business case studies.
