Lindsay and her team at This Rock helped us acheive a Platinum Medal with Ecovadis in a very short time. This achievement will assist our Company with existing and new clients. They did a great job of tracking our progress, developing a guideline to acheive our goals and communicated those goals in weekly Team meetings. They were a great partner in making our submission successul. You will be very happy working with Lindsay and her team at This Rock.

Our organization had the pleasure of working with ThisRock on our sustainability and ESG initiatives, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. Lindsay, Aashita, and Alix brought a rare combination of expertise, clarity, and warmth to every interaction, making a complex topic feel approachable and manageable. They took the time to understand our business, asked smart questions, and guided us step by step through the process rather than overwhelming us with jargon. Their support was proactive and well organized, with clear timelines, expectations, and follow‑through on every commitment. What stood out most was how practical and actionable their guidance was. Instead of generic advice, they helped us prioritize the initiatives that would have the greatest impact for our business and stakeholders. Their feedback was thoughtful, constructive, and always focused on helping us improve. Communication with the team was excellent throughout the engagement. They were responsive, flexible with our schedule, and consistently positive and encouraging, which helped our internal team stay engaged and confident. We highly recommend ThisRock—and specifically Lindsay, Aashita, and Alix—to any organization looking for knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely supportive ESG and sustainability partners. They are exactly the kind of team you want beside you on this journey. We have had experience of 1 year and are already in talks of extending our partnership for the 2nd year.

We have partnered with ThisRock for 2 years in a row to support on our NetZero Challenge submissions and what a joy it has been! Lindsay, Aashita, and Alix have been instrumental in helping to complete our comprehensive questionnaire, creating a preliminary strategy to support our submission, and guiding our team through the entire process. I absolutely recommend ThisRock to support with guidance on ESG initiatives, including environmental impact calculations, preliminary plans, setting targets, and more. Thank you for making this process so enjoyable!

Lindsay and her team at This Rock expertly guided us through the EcoVadis certification process and helped our company achieve a Platinum Medal. They not only reinforced where we were already excelling in ESG, but also identified clear opportunities for improvement. If you’re looking for support with EcoVadis certification or ESG consulting, I highly recommend reaching out to This Rock.

SBTi Consulting Solutions

Our solutions help organizations set credible, science-based climate targets that align with global climate expectations and business realities.

01. Emissions Boundary & Data Readiness:

We help define appropriate Scope 1, 2, and relevant Scope 3 boundaries and assess data readiness to ensure your targets are built on reliable, audit-ready information.

02. Target Strategy & Alignment:

We evaluate your current climate ambitions against SBTi criteria to identify the most appropriate target pathway, ambition level, and timeframe based on your organization’s size, sector, and goals.

03. Submission & Validation Support:

We support the preparation of SBTi-aligned targets and documentation, helping you submit with confidence and respond effectively to validation feedback.

What Is SBTi Consulting?

SBTi consulting supports organizations in setting greenhouse gas reduction targets that are aligned with climate science and recognized global standards. Rather than focusing only on calculations, effective SBTi consulting helps translate climate requirements into realistic, business-aligned targets.

As we approach 2026, science-based targets are transitioning from voluntary sustainability goals to mandatory procurement requirements for enterprise supply chains. A structured SBTi approach helps you secure these contracts and demonstrate credible climate action while avoiding operational overcommitment.

The Strategic Value of SBTi Consulting for Businesses

Implementing science-based targets is more than a climate commitment. It is a strategic decision that strengthens credibility, improves decision-making, and positions your organization for long-term resilience. Here is how SBTi-aligned targets can support business performance:

  • Stronger Credibility: Science-based targets show your climate commitments are grounded in recognized methodology, building trust with customers, investors, and partners.
  • Competitive Advantage: Validated SBTi targets help organizations stand out in procurement and sustainability assessments and signal readiness for evolving expectations.
  • Improved Risk Management: SBTi-aligned targets help identify emissions hotspots and climate-related risks, enabling more proactive planning.
  • Investor and Customer Readiness: Many investors and large customers now expect science-based targets. SBTi alignment supports access to capital and strengthens key relationships.
  • Operational Focus and Efficiency: Improvements: Clear emissions tracking and prioritization often lead to more focused investments and better alignment across teams.

Do These SBTi Challenges Sound Familiar?

Pressure from Enterprise Buyers

“A major enterprise client just told us we need an officially validated SBTi target by next year or we risk losing our preferred vendor status.”

Struggling with Scope 3 Data

“We know we need to set a science-based target, but mapping our value-chain emissions feels overwhelming and we don’t know where to start.”

Limited Internal Expertise

“We have basic GHG tracking in place, but we lack an in-house climate expert to translate that data into the SBTi’s complex target-setting pathways.”

Fear of Overcommitting

“We have basic GHG tracking in place, but we lack an in-house climate expert to translate that data into the SBTi’s complex target-setting pathways.”

Validation Pushback

“We tried submitting our targets to the SBTi but keep getting feedback requests. We need help navigating the strict validation criteria.”

Shifting Procurement Rules

“Contractually, we need to provide validated climate targets within the next 12 months to maintain our current enterprise supply chain contracts.”

If these challenges sound familiar, we’re here to help. Whether you’re struggling with data readiness, enterprise client pressure, or navigating the complex validation process, our team can guide you through the SBTi journey.

It’s time to get sustainable or be left behind

Customers are demanding. Lenders are looking. Employees want purpose. Government and industry regulations are rolling out. Being “good” is good for business.
