GLOUCESTER, Mass., December 1, 2020 /CSRwire/ - 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.

“Business plays a vital role in protecting people and planet,” notes Erin Billman, Executive Director, Science Based Targets Network. “The Science Based Targets Network’s Corporate Engagement Program gives leading companies a way to help develop the tools and guidance needed to set vital science-based targets for nature.”

Pure Strategies is a leading sustainability consulting firm that designs transformative strategies, improves products and packaging, and shifts supply chains toward greater environmental and social performance for industry-leading companies.  Clients include Walmart, Timberland, Seventh Generation, Ben & Jerry’s, and over 100 other leading companies.  

Pure Strategies will support the SBTN Corporate Engagement Program by:

• Assessing SBTN draft guidance and tools and recommending improvements 
• Enabling companies to gain strategic insight into cutting-edge science and approaches developed by the Science Based Targets Network. 
• 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.”
