ESG Forward-Looking Statement & Target-Setting Framework

Build Your ESG Target-Setting Framework with Confidence

Establishing credible, science-based ESG targets is no longer optional—it's essential for demonstrating genuine commitment to sustainability and meeting stakeholder expectations. This ESG Forward-Looking Statement & Target-Setting Framework template helps sustainability teams, ESG managers, and corporate responsibility leaders document ambitious targets, establish robust baselines, and create transparent progress tracking mechanisms.

Whether you're aligning with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), preparing for third-party validation, or building your first comprehensive sustainability roadmap, this template guides you through the entire target-setting process. It covers environmental commitments (carbon reduction, renewable energy, water stewardship), social targets (DEI metrics, worker safety, community impact), and governance frameworks (board diversity, ethical supply chains, transparency standards).
