Science Based Targets initiative’s Post

Do you work in the FLAG sector? We want to hear from you. We have launched a project to develop Version 2 of the Forest Land and Agriculture (FLAG) Standard to make it interoperable with the Corporate Net-Zero Standard V2.0 We're gathering high-quality, real-world feedback to help shape FLAG V2.0 and ensure it reflects the operational realities facing companies today while remaining scientifically rigorous. Today, we're launching two opportunities to get involved: 1) Call for Evidence: We’re inviting companies to share their experience through the call for evidence survey, helping us better understand the diverse geographic, environmental and regulatory contexts, as well as the supply chain structures, commodity exposure and implementation challenges facing the sector. 2) Expression of Interest: FLAG Regional Stakeholders Convenings: We're also inviting companies to express interest in participating in a series of regional stakeholder convenings. Selected participants will join three virtual roundtables later this year to discuss implementation challenges and opportunities in greater depth. Participants will be selected to ensure a balanced mix of companies across regions, target-setting progress, value chain position, company size, commodities and countries. If you're considering setting a FLAG science-based target, there's no need to wait. Companies using the current FLAG Guidance (V1.2) can already benefit from key innovations introduced through the Corporate Net-Zero Standard V2.0 like the best efforts framework. The expression of interest for the regional stakeholder convenings is open until September 8: https://lnkd.in/dadETVNp The call for evidence is open until October 8: https://lnkd.in/dtApNnUv #FLAG #SBTiFLAG #NetZero #ScienceBasedTargets
