Science-Based Target Tracker
Monitor your organisation's progress toward SBTi-validated science-based targets with real-time trajectory analysis, gap identification, and annual progress reporting. NetNada tracks near-term and long-term targets across all scopes, showing whether you're on track for 1.5°C alignment and flagging when corrective action is needed.
How It Works
Setting a science-based target is a public commitment. Delivering on it requires continuous monitoring against a defined reduction pathway. The Science-Based Target Tracker connects your actual emissions data to your committed trajectory, providing the visibility needed to stay on course.
Configure Your SBTi Targets
Enter your validated science-based targets: base year, base year emissions, target year, target reduction percentage, scope coverage, and target type (absolute or intensity). NetNada supports near-term targets (5-10 years), long-term net-zero targets, and FLAG (Forest, Land and Agriculture) sector targets.
Define Your Reduction Pathway
NetNada calculates the required annual reduction trajectory from your base year to target year. Visualise the linear pathway showing required emissions for each year. Compare against SBTi minimum ambition thresholds (1.5°C for Scope 1 and 2, well-below 2°C for Scope 3).
Track Actual Emissions Against Trajectory
As your emissions data flows in from connected systems, NetNada plots actual performance against the required pathway. Green indicates ahead of target, amber signals approaching the boundary, and red flags that you've exceeded your annual trajectory allowance.
Identify Gaps and Model Scenarios
When gaps emerge between actual and required performance, the tracker quantifies the shortfall in tonnes CO2e and identifies which emission sources are driving the variance. Model reduction scenarios—renewable energy procurement, fleet electrification, supplier engagement—to close the gap.
Generate Annual Progress Reports
Produce SBTi-aligned annual progress reports documenting base year recalculation (if applicable), current year emissions, progress against trajectory, and planned reduction initiatives. Formatted for CDP disclosure, annual sustainability reports, and stakeholder communications.
Why Use Science-Based Target Tracker
Stay on Track for Your Committed Targets
A validated science-based target is a public commitment scrutinised by investors, customers, and regulators. The tracker provides early warning when you're drifting off trajectory—months or years before an annual report reveals the problem. Proactive course correction is far easier than reactive catch-up.
Satisfy SBTi Annual Progress Requirements
SBTi requires companies to report progress annually and recalculate base year emissions when significant changes occur (acquisitions, divestments, methodology changes). NetNada automates base year recalculation triggers and generates progress documentation meeting SBTi disclosure expectations.
Align Reduction Initiatives with Target Gaps
The tracker quantifies exactly how many tonnes CO2e you need to reduce and in which categories. This precision enables targeted investment: if your gap is 500 tCO2e in Scope 2, a renewable PPA closes it; if 2,000 tCO2e in Scope 3 purchased goods, supplier engagement is required.
Support Board and Executive Reporting
Directors and executives need clear, visual summaries of climate target progress for governance reporting. The tracker provides board-ready visualisations showing trajectory, actual performance, and risk assessment—supporting AASB S2 climate-related financial disclosure requirements.
Demonstrate Credibility to Stakeholders
Investors, customers, and employees increasingly distinguish between organisations that set targets and those that demonstrably track progress. Transparent target tracking builds stakeholder confidence and differentiates your organisation from peers making commitments without accountability.
Manage Near-Term and Long-Term Targets Together
Most organisations have both near-term targets (2030) and long-term net-zero commitments (2050). The tracker monitors both simultaneously, ensuring near-term actions build toward long-term ambition rather than deferring difficult reductions to future periods.
Who Uses Science-Based Target Tracker
Companies with Validated SBTi Targets
Organisations that have submitted and received SBTi validation need ongoing progress monitoring. The tracker turns a one-time target-setting exercise into a continuous management tool, ensuring the commitment translates into year-on-year emission reductions.
Organisations Preparing SBTi Submissions
Companies developing their SBTi submission can use the tracker to model different target ambition levels (1.5°C vs well-below 2°C), test feasibility against current reduction plans, and understand the annual reduction rate required before committing publicly.
Sustainability Directors Reporting to Boards
Directors responsible for climate governance need clear progress metrics. The tracker provides board-ready summaries showing whether the organisation is on track, what risks exist, and what actions are planned—essential for AASB S2 climate disclosure obligations.
Companies Responding to CDP and Investor Requests
CDP questionnaire section C4 (Targets and Performance) requires detailed target progress disclosure. The tracker generates the data, methodology documentation, and year-on-year comparisons needed for a high-quality CDP response demonstrating science-based target accountability.
Multi-Scope Organisations Managing Complex Targets
Organisations with targets spanning Scope 1, 2, and 3 need consolidated tracking across different emission sources, methodologies, and data maturities. The tracker aggregates all scopes while maintaining the granularity needed to diagnose which areas are on or off track.
Science-Based Target Tracker Features
Target Configuration and Pathway Calculation
Enter base year, target year, reduction percentage, and scope coverage. NetNada calculates the required annual reduction pathway and plots it as a visual trajectory. Supports absolute and intensity targets, near-term and long-term net-zero commitments.
Real-Time Progress Visualisation
Interactive chart plotting actual emissions against the required trajectory. Colour-coded status (green/amber/red) provides instant visibility into whether you're on track, approaching the boundary, or exceeding your allowance for the current period.
Gap Analysis by Scope and Category
When actual emissions exceed the trajectory, the tracker identifies which scopes and categories are driving the variance. Quantifies the gap in tonnes CO2e and percentage terms, enabling targeted reduction planning for the specific sources causing off-track performance.
Base Year Recalculation Engine
SBTi requires base year recalculation for significant structural changes. NetNada monitors for triggers (acquisitions, divestments, methodology updates) and automates recalculation, maintaining trajectory integrity while documenting changes for auditors.
Scenario Modelling for Reduction Initiatives
Model the emissions impact of planned reduction initiatives (renewable PPAs, fleet electrification, energy efficiency, supplier engagement) against your target gap. Prioritise initiatives by cost-effectiveness and timeline to ensure target delivery.
Annual Progress Report Generator
Generate formatted progress reports documenting base year emissions, current year performance, trajectory comparison, reduction initiatives, and forward-looking plans. Aligned with SBTi reporting requirements and suitable for CDP, annual reports, and stakeholder communications.
Multi-Target Dashboard
Track multiple targets simultaneously: near-term Scope 1+2 absolute target, near-term Scope 3 target, long-term net-zero commitment, and optional intensity targets. Single dashboard provides consolidated view of all commitments and their individual progress.
SBTi Framework Alignment Checks
Validates that your targets meet SBTi minimum criteria: ambition level (1.5°C or well-below 2°C), scope coverage thresholds, target timeframe requirements, and boundary completeness. Flags compliance issues before submission or annual disclosure.
Real Results from Real Users
See how companies are transforming their sustainability reporting
"We set our SBTi targets but had no systematic way to monitor progress between annual reports. NetNada's tracker showed us in Q2 that Scope 3 business travel was trending 15% above trajectory. Early visibility gave us time to implement travel policy changes that brought us back on track by year-end."
- Identified off-track Scope 3 category 6 months before annual reporting
- Implemented corrective travel policy saving 340 tCO2e annually
- Achieved near-term target progress ahead of required trajectory
"Our board needed quarterly updates on SBTi target progress for AASB S2 climate disclosure. The tracker generates board-ready visualisations showing exactly where we stand against our 1.5°C pathway. It transformed target monitoring from a manual analysis exercise into an automated governance tool."
- Automated quarterly board reporting on climate target progress
- Supported AASB S2 transition plan disclosure with trajectory data
- Reduced progress reporting preparation from 2 weeks to 2 hours
"Managing SBTi targets across Scope 1 (gas combustion, refrigerants), Scope 2 (electricity), and Scope 3 (agricultural supply chain) required tracking dozens of emission categories. NetNada's gap analysis pinpointed that 70% of our shortfall came from two Scope 3 categories, focusing our supplier engagement where it mattered most."
- Identified 2 critical Scope 3 categories driving 70% of target gap
- Focused supplier engagement on highest-impact categories first
- On track for near-term SBTi target with 3 years remaining
