Beyond science-based targets: What will it take to turn corporate ambition into credible action?

Plenary
Back to agenda

Hailed as the gold standard for climate ambition, science-based targets have become a token of corporate climate leadership. But setting a target is only the first step. Companies now face mounting pressure to demonstrate that their commitments are both credible and actionable.

In the food and beverage sector, where complex supply chains and Scope 3 emissions dominate, businesses are translating ambition into delivery through supplier engagement, regenerative practices, and stronger focus on methane and deforestation.

This session will explore how corporates are strengthening the credibility of their net zero pathways through robust data, consistent reporting, and collaboration across the value chain. We’ll highlight emerging frameworks, practical tools, and case studies showing how companies are moving beyond pledges to demonstrate real progress and accountability.

What to expect from this type of session...

Main stage sessions, but not as you know them. Because we’re off-the-record, leading experts can speak candidly about their experience with what works, and what doesn’t. At least half the session is dedicated to audience insights and questions to ensure we tackle the big issues head on.
