For vendors with an SBT set or commitment to set an SBT, their targets have been verified against the latest SBTi v4.2 and v5 criteria. 92 We continue to refine our assessment methodology to include vendors within relevant Scope 3 categories, including purchased goods and services, capital goods, business travel and upstream transportation and distribution.
