Maintenance Targets

Targets that maintain the same emissions reductions reached after achieving a science-based target over time .

Maintenance targets are intended for companies that plan to achieve net-zero ambition levels well before the 2040 or 2050 end-date prescribed by their chosen methodology. Maintenance targets require companies to maintain reductions through 2040 or 2050 that are at least as ambitious as the original ambition selected, or otherwise to increase ambition beyond that of the initial target.
