Case Study: Target achieves a 30% Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions reduction target with Anthesis

Anthesis helped Target with its Scope 3 science-based target setting, tracking, supplier engagement and implementation

Target, a major retailer, needed to develop its first comprehensive Scope 3 emissions inventory and set a science-based target (SBT) to meet its SBTi commitment. The company selected Anthesis as its consulting partner to guide this process, which required a detailed analysis of its supply chain footprint and target setting.

Anthesis developed a full Scope 3 inventory, modeled target options, and supported the SBTi validation process. This resulted in Target setting an industry-leading goal to reduce its absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions by 30% by 2030. Anthesis continues to partner on implementation, providing expertise to launch new initiatives and manage a supplier engagement program aiming for 80% of suppliers to set their own science-based targets.
