Long-term Goals:

Short-term Goals:

Lack of SBTi-validated 1.5-degree aligned targets for most companies.
Insufficient financial resource disclosure for decarbonization activities.
Limited participatory approaches in developing emission reduction plans.
Inadequate reporting on progress towards deforestation and human rights commitments.

Companies should make the development of their emission reduction strategies participatory and inclusive.
Companies should support sourcing models that strengthen small-scale producers’ ability to implement low-carbon, resilient, and regenerative agriculture practices.
