Frequently Asked Questions about SBTs and FLAG Guidance
Setting Science-Based Targets is always voluntary. However, your buyer or investor may require you to join the initiative.
If you are committed to setting SBTs and your company operates in the agricultural, food and beverage, forest and paper industry, or retail sectors, there’s a high chance that you will be required to follow the FLAG Guidance to participate in the initiative. This applies to companies that meet at least three of the following criteria:
- Employ over 250 employees
- Have a turnover of over €50 million
- Have total assets of over €25 million
- Operate in the land-use sector
FLAG guidelines provide specific criteria for setting Science-Based Targets in the land-use sector, addressing emissions from:
- land-use change
- land management, and
- carbon removals and storage.
Biocode helps you collect and analyze emissions data in line with FLAG’s criteria.
- Land Management calculations are already available in Biocode.
- Land Use Change calculation models will be added into Biocode with our software update soon.
In a meanwhile, we can assist you with Land Use Change calculation as consultancy services. - Carbon removals & storage can be excluded from the current calculations.
The final methodologies are still being developed, and Biocode will update its models once these are published.
