Scope 1 – Direct emissions on site (e.g., on-site
energy use)
Scope 2 – Emissions from purchased electricity,
heat steam, water
Scope 3 – All other indirect emissions along the
value chain
Note: All companies must complete at least a scope 3
screening for all relevant categories. If scope 3 is over
40% of total emissions, an emissions inventory must be
provided (estimations at minimum).

OFFICIAL
STEP 2: DEVELOP THE TARGET | CRITERIA OVERVIEW
• Level of ambition (Scope 1+2): At a minimum – consistent with the level
of decarbonization required to keep temperature increase to well-below
2°C while we encourage efforts towards 1.5°C.
• Progress: Both the target timeframe ambition (base year to target year)
and the forward-looking ambition (most recent year to target year) must
meet the ambition criteria.
• Boundary: All company-wide Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions (> 95%);
• Timeframe: 5-15 years into the future;
• Reporting: Disclose GHG emissions inventory on an annual basis.
• Scope 3: A Scope 3 screening is required. An ambitious Scope 3 target is
required when Scope 3 emissions cover < 40% of total emissions.

STEPS 4 AND 5: COMMUNICATE AND DISCLOSE
HOW TO SET A TARGET
Companies must publicly disclose their
emissions inventory and progress
against their targets on an annual basis.
Recommendations include annual
reports, sustainability reports, the
company’s website, and/or disclosure
through CDP’s annual questionnaire.
Once approved, companies must
communicate their targets.
SBTi publishes approved targets on its
website on the companies taking action
page as well as on partner’s websites
(We Mean Business and CDP).

HOW TO SET A TARGETSMES ROUTE
● The SBTi has developed an exclusive route for
SMEs and these MUST submit a target through
this route;
● This route enables SMEs to bypass the regular
target validation process and to immediately set
a science-based target for scope 1 and 2;
● SMEs must choose one of the predefined
options available in the SME Target Setting
Letter;
● Base year and target year cannot be different
from the predefined ones;
● SBTi does not approve SME’s scope 3 targets;
● Oil and gas companies and financial institutions
cannot set targets through the SME’s route, even
if they fit the SME definition;
● SMEs must communicate their targets and
publicly disclose their emissions inventory and
progress against targets on an annual basis.

Why Scope 3 Matters
• Climate risk – both physical and transition
• Net zero carbon and Science Based Targets
• Investor pressure
• Brand and reputational risk
• Reporting and disclosure requirements
- TCFD, CDP, SECR etc.
• Policy and regulatory changes –
- UK Govt (Net Zero by 2050) , EU Taxonomy

There are several target methodologies available, we then make a recommendation on approach
1. Absolute contraction
Scope 1, 2 + 3
Reduce absolute emissions by the same percentage to keep global temperature increase within well below 2°C or 1.5°C.
• Transparent and easy for stakeholders to understand
• Only approach that is aligned to 1.5°C
• Can be converted into an intensity target
• Does not consider growth
2. Sectoral approach
Scope 1, 2 + 3
Global carbon budget is divided by sector and a physical intensity is used to allocate reductions to individual organizations.
• Reduction in line with your sector• Considers growth
• Can’t be used to model 1.5°C targets
• Sector pathway not available for the hospitality sector
3. Physical Intensity
Scope 3 only
Reduce emissions intensity per physical production output that do not result in absolute emissions growth and lead to linear annual intensity improvements of 2% at a minimum.
• Useful for fast growing companies unable to achieve absolute reductions
• Can’t be used to model 1.5°C targets
• Not as ambitious, could come under stakeholder scrutiny
• Less transparent than absolute target
4. Economic Intensity Targets
Scope 3 onlyReduce emissions intensity per value added by at least an average of 7% year on year
• Economic metrics are variable• Uses sensitive information (e.g.
gross profit)• Not SBTi preferred approach,
considered less robust
5. Engagement Targets
Scope 3 only
Commit to having a specific percentage of suppliers (as a percentage of spend or GHG emissions) with their own SBTs within five years from the date the company’s target is submitted to the SBTi for validation
• Useful if you are still trying to identify levers for more specific Scope 3 reduction opportunities
• Can be used to support achievement of absolute reduction target
• Need to be timely in order to result in absolute reductions
• Potentially not seen as ambitious by stakeholders if it is the only target set

Reduction Strategies• Energy demand and optimisation• Supplier engagement/procurement• Operational efficiency programs• Raw materials and provenance• Recycled Content• Low carbon packaging• Transport and logistics• Refrigeration• Product stewardship and new
sustainable products• Investment in new technologies
Prioritise Reduction Strategies and Initiatives
Best Practice is to pursue reduction strategies prior to offsetting. Marginal abatement cost curves can be used to prioritise initiatives and develop the business case.

– Early achievement in 2018 of our 20% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2020 target
– Proposal developed to explain the case for setting an SBT for Exec approval
– Received Exec level approval for our commitment to setting an SBT in September 2018
– Established SBT Technical Working Group from across the globe to understand work required in mid-2019 (we have global teams who do this work for clients)

Scope 1: Fleet vehicles
– Primary data gathered from our fleet managers and external providers (distance travelled and fuel usage)
– Gaps estimated using average mileage and vehicle types
Scope 2: Office energy use
– Primary data gathered from our facilities managers and energy brokers (energy usage from meter data and bills)
– Gaps estimated using emissions factors and floor area (need to estimate due to lack of visibility over usage in rented offices)
Getting Scope 1 & 2 Data: Primary Data and Estimates
OFFICIAL
– Screening undertaken using GHG Protocol, SBTi guidance and Scope 3 Evaluator Tool
– Most information can be estimated using Scope 3 Evaluator Tool
– Should be supplemented with real data as much as possible e.g. Travel team data from external partners, Global Commuter Survey
– Many of the downstream Scope 3 elements were deemed to be out of Scope for us as a consultancy that sells services rather than goods or products, although we have chosen to separately address this as it is significant
– Screening showed by far the biggest elements were in purchased goods and services & capital goods (supply chain)
– Due to the significance of our Scope 3 and supply chain emissions we needed to set a target and it could be exclusively on supply chain emissions
– Decided to go for absolute rather than intensity targets, due to our supply chain composition

[SASB] and Task Force on Climate-related
Financial Disclosures [TCFD])
o To incorporate an ESG action plan for reducing
carbon impact by at least 50 per cent on all
major projects (our 'ScopeX™’ process)
o To develop and grow our dedicated ESG and
sustainable services each year
o To work with clients and partners to drive
innovation in climate change, sustainable design
and social value
o To embed net-zero, resilience and social value
targets into our client account management
program and the work we bid for
o To measure key impacts such as carbon
emissions, climate resilience and social value on
major projects
With ESG principles embedded into everything we do, the goal of our Sustainable Legacies strategy is straightforward: to ensure that the work we do in partnership
with our clients leaves a positive, lasting impact for communities and our planet.

What are our New Net Zero Targets?Science Based Net Zero by 2030: Halve our emissions across our value chain by 2030 compared with 2018, and carbon offset the remainder every year from then. This is our most significant long term target, meaning reducing and neutralising millions of tonnes of GHG emissions.
Operational Net Zero by 2021: Be on track with science based net zero reductions for our operations (fleet vehicles, purchased energy and business travel) at the end of 2021 (4% annual reduction), and carbon offset the remainder every year from then. This allows us to make additional positive climate impact on the way to science based net zero.
N.B. The offsetting amounts are an approximation, and we may end up offsetting more on the way to science based net zero
Illustrative example of
AECOM route to net zeroProgress to date:• Well on track to meeting both targets
• Updated to 1.5C SBT in line with
what science requires
• Target to be validated as a net zero
SBT later in the year
• Supply chain data improvement:
Contract signed with TruCost and
reduced unclassified spend data
• Supplier RFI being developed and
Pilot RFI issued to suppliers (24
DCS, 59 CM)
• Developing Net Zero Roadmap
• Fast Forward Program and Travel
with Purpose
• Working with our landlords
• Offsetting proposals received

– Getting leadership buy in is crucial
– Assemble the right people (operational and technical)
– Read the resources and use the tools, they’re useful and not too complicated
– Screen your Scope 3 emissions early
– Estimate data if you don’t have it – don’t let perfect get in the way of good!
– Get going with a target, and if necessary update after
– SBTs are a powerful tool to motivate action, and as best practice seal of approval
– When communicating your targets make it relevant to people
– If you need more help to set and achieve SBTs / Net Zero there is help available including at AECOM
