SBTi Just Halved Its 2030 Targets. Does Your Supply Chain Know?

The Science Based Targets initiative revised its Corporate Net Zero Standard this week - and in some cases roughly halved the minimum near-term emissions cuts required by 2030. It was not announced with any fanfare. If your business uses SBTi validation as a procurement signal or investor commitment, the floor just moved.

This week's sustainability news breakdown covers ten stories that matter for business leaders at organisations with serious climate commitments - from the EU cutting CSRD datapoints by 70%, to the IEA's landmark report on AI energy consumption, to France publishing its national fossil fuel exit roadmap.

We also cover why the Iran war has permanently shifted fossil fuel economics, what the launch of Perigus Energy means for PPA buyers across Europe, and why carbon removal has quietly become a procurement category.
