The US Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Better Buildings, Better Plants Program is a voluntary initiative that works with leading manufacturers to showcase leadership and drive deep energy savings in the U.S. industrial sector. Partners agree to set ambitious sustainability goals and in return receive robust technical assistance, national recognition, facilitated peer-to-peer learning opportunities, and access to innovation. Many Better Plants partners are looking to translate their energy intensity progress towards carbon reduction goals and exploring if setting a Science-Based Target (SBT) is right for their organization. This document provides an overview of the SBT initiative and compares it to the offerings of the Better Plants program. To help companies who are participating in both initiatives, DOE tools and resources are highlighted and discussed.
