The Readiness Assessment Service is a structured, evidence-based assessment that gives each company a factual picture of where their existing targets stand against the latest Corporate Net-Zero Standard Version 2.0 requirements and the specific steps required to submit a target for validation under the new Standard.

The service is available to companies with validated targets under any previous version of the Science Based Targets initiative’s (SBTi) corporate criteria that are interested in transitioning to Version 2 of the Standard. The service produces a report that is designed to assist companies in understanding where their current targets stand against the new Standard to ease their transition.

For more information about the service, click the Service Description section below. If you still have questions, reach out to us at info@sbtiservices.com.
- What is included in the assessment?
  
  The assessment is carried out by a dedicated analyst from the SBTi Services Validation Team and includes:
  - Company categorization: The service determines which category – A or B – a company falls into and sets out exactly what that means for its V2.0 validation obligations.
  - Target architecture translation: The service maps a company’s existing validated targets onto the scope-specific target architecture, identifying for each whether the current approach satisfies the V2.0 criteria, requires adjustment, or requires a new target, and sets out the available options in each case.
  - Tailored transition timelines: A tailored transition timeline showing where a company sits within the new cyclical validation framework based on the date of their most recent validation and/or target year, including key milestone dates and permissible submission pathways under V1.3.1 and V2.0.
  - Data readiness: The service assesses whether a company’s current inventory and assurance arrangements meet the new requirements across scopes 1, 2, and 3. It will identify where data, methodology, or assurance needs to be strengthened to reach validation readiness.
  How does it work?
  1. Check service suitability
    Complete the suitability check. If the service is right for your company, review and sign the Terms & Conditions to proceed.
  2. Onboarding call and preliminary assessment
    Join a one-hour call with your dedicated analyst. They will walk you through the service, your target-setting options under the Corporate Net-Zero Standard V2.0, and provide a preliminary picture of your readiness based on existing data from your most recent target validation. For SMEs, this step is not required — you will move directly to the assessment form.
  3. Complete the assessment form
    If your company would like to include updated data and supporting documentation for the assessment, you can enter it into the assessment form. This will take approximately 20 minutes to complete.
  4. Assessment and draft report
    Your dedicated analyst conducts a thorough assessment and prepares your draft Readiness Assessment Report.
  5. Review call
    Join a 30-minute call with your dedicated analyst to discuss findings, ask questions, and explore target-setting options available under the new Corporate Net-Zero Standard V2.0.
  6. Final report
    SBTi Services delivers your final Readiness Assessment Report – including responses to questions raised during your review call and the key milestones and deadlines relevant to your company’s specific situation.
  The end-to-end process from onboarding to your final report may take up to four weeks – leaving your company with a clear, documented picture of its readiness and confident foundation for target submission under the Corporate Net-Zero Standard V2.0.
