## Science Based Targets Network

The **Science Based Targets Network (SBTN)** is a global initiative helping organisations set science-based targets for nature. Expanding on the climate-focused Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), SBTN develops guidance and methodologies for measuring, prioritising, and reducing impacts on biodiversity, water, land, and oceans. Part of the Global Commons Alliance, it aims to align corporate and financial action with planetary boundaries, providing a unified framework for businesses and cities to transition toward nature-positive outcomes.

### Relationship to Lemu

[Atlas](https://lemu-web.prie.to/es/atlas/) supports companies seeking to align with SBTN by providing preloaded indicators on biodiversity, water, and land use. This enables faster and more scientifically robust alignment with SBTN’s methodologies.

### Example in Practice

💡

A multinational food and beverage company uses SBTN’s methodologies to assess land and water impacts in its supply chain. By integrating Atlas, it can track biodiversity indicators across agricultural sites, making its reporting and target-setting faster, comparable, and aligned with global standards.

### Cross-Mapping with Other Frameworks

- [**TNFD**](https://lemu-web.prie.to/es/docs/alphabet/tnfd/): TNFD provides the disclosure framework for nature-related risks and opportunities, while SBTN offers the methods to set measurable science-based targets. They are designed to be used in tandem.
- [**GRI**](https://lemu-web.prie.to/es/docs/alphabet/gri/): SBTN target-setting can be disclosed through GRI Standards, providing consistency and transparency for stakeholders.
- [**NPI**](https://lemu-web.prie.to/es/docs/alphabet/npi/): SBTN’s methodologies contribute directly to the broader Nature Positive Initiative, enabling organisations to demonstrate progress towards global nature goals.
