MetricClimate targets and net-zero transition

Lower-carbon or net-zero-aligned commodity and transport volume target share

Measurement answer

What this metric measures

Lower-carbon or net-zero-aligned commodity and transport volume target share is a future-effective SBTi Version 2.0 result. It preserves the applicable company population, reporting boundary, period, denominator and required disaggregation without importing source prose.

Formula

(N / D) × 100

Divide the compatible aligned commodity or transport volume numerator by its disclosed total-population denominator for the same period and boundary, then multiply by 100.

Evidence and status sources

Sustopedia checked each record-specific claim directly against primary publisher material. Labels distinguish current measurement authority from future compatibility and corroborative, legal, edition, or method status context. Corroborative evidence can support a stated limitation but cannot establish the core measurement by itself.

Interpretation boundaries

Method disclosures required

Source-edition basis: Corporate Net-Zero Standard Version 2.0, June 2026; effective 1 February 2027

  • State the SBTi standard edition, applicable criterion, company category and effective or transition status.
  • State the reporting entity, boundary, population, period, unit, denominator and dimensional classifications used.
  • State estimation, conversion, exclusion, allocation, recalculation and assurance treatment where applicable.
  • Link to the official SBTi source and retain the source-defined applicability conditions.

Record-specific limitations

  • Version 2.0 becomes available for validation on 1 February 2027; Version 1.3.1 remains a distinct applicable edition through 31 January 2028.
  • The June 2026 Methods, Metrics and Pathways consultation document is not used as final formula or benchmark authority.
  • Comparability requires compatible company category, boundary, period, unit, denominator, classification and target or OER status.
  • This page is an independently authored measurement aid and does not reproduce the source standard, tables, figures or equations.

Interpret this metric with the stated reporting boundary, period convention, value shape, and unit. Results prepared with different boundaries or conventions may not be directly comparable.

Measurement evidence supports the core record-specific claims described above. Corroborative evidence can support limitations, while compatibility and status sources provide their separately labelled context. None of these cards by itself determines an organisation's legal applicability, filing readiness, assurance status, or compliance conclusion.
