Logical Framework used to evaluate the SBTi and RE100 in this study

Type of progress indicator Benchmarks and baselines Key metrics Period
Ambition Extended company targets (Scope 1 + 2) Targets within 1.5 °C or 2 °C trends 2015–2030
SSP1-19 scenarios (normalised)
SSP1-26 scenarios (normalised)
Robustness Third-party verification qualification Share of Reasonable and High verification 2015–2019
Claimed renewable energy purchases High visibility into sourcing preferences
Transparent renewable energy purchases
Implementation Non-renewable energy used or produced Share of renewable energy 2015–2019
Renewable energy used or produced Share of high additionality sourcing models
Renewable energy sourcing model employed
Substantive Progress Extended company targets (Scope 1 + 2) Performance against targets 2015–2019
(direct impact) Actual collective GHG emissions Change in GHG emitted
Actual collective Renewable Electricity use Change in renewable electricity use
Evaluation of potential Narrative description of company actions should coincide All the indicators above Ex-post review
with effective and efficient mitigation approaches

Adapted from11, and subdivided into four progress indicators: ambition of targets, robustness of published data, implementation within company processes and direct substantive impact of company actions. Only emissions and energy flows within Scope 1 + 2 of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol33 are evaluated.
