Case Study: Target achieves a 30% absolute emissions reduction by 2030 with Anthesis

Target cuts absolute emissions 30% by 2030 with Anthesis

Target, a major retail company, needed to develop its first comprehensive Scope 3 emissions inventory and set a science-based target to fulfill its commitment to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). To meet this challenge, Target partnered with the sustainability consultancy Anthesis.

Anthesis developed a full Scope 3 inventory for Target, modeled target requirements and initiatives, and supported the SBTi validation process. As a result, Target achieved an industry-leading commitment to reduce its absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions by 30% by 2030. Anthesis also helped implement an ambitious supplier engagement program, with a goal of having 80% of suppliers by spend set their own science-based targets.
