25, 2022</time></span>With more and more countries in Asia鈥揚acific (APAC) committing to net zero targets, decarbonizing emissions from business operations has become a license to operate for companies across the region鈥攁nd this trend is accelerating.</p> <p>One key indicator of a company鈥檚 commitment to tackling climate change is setting clear emission reduction targets. So far, over 670 companies across APAC have set (or committed to setting) emissions reduction targets via the Climate Disclosure Program (CDP) and Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).<sup>1</sup></p> <p>SBTs provide companies with a rigorous framework that allows targets to be set in line with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) goal of limiting global warming to 1.5掳C above pre-industrial levels. Their 1.5-degree pathway equates to a linear reduction of 4.2 percent of absolute emissions per year. To date, 254 companies have set an SBTi target, and despite the COVID-19 pandemic, the rate of commitments to the most ambitious pathway (1.5掳C) has continued to double on average since 2019.</p> <div data-component="mdc-c-module-wrapper" data-module-theme="default" data-module-background="transparent" data-module-category="" class="mck-c-inline-module-container mck-o-md-center"><div class="mdc-u-grid mdc-u-grid-gutter-lg mdc-u-grid-col-sm-1 mdc-u-grid--align-start mdc-u-mb-3 GenericItem_mck-c-generic-item__sGwKL"><div data-component="mdc-c-content-block" class="mdc-c-content-block___7p6Lu_2734c4f mdc-u-grid-gutter-xs GenericItem_mck-c-generic-item__content__gq1m0"><div class="mck-c-eyebrow mdc-u-ts-10"><span> 1</span></div></div></div><div class="mck-u-inline-module-border-top mck-u-inline-module-border-bottom"><picture data-component="mdc-c-picture" class="Exhibit_mck-c-exhibit__image__pyIDm"><source media="(min-width: 768px)" srcSet="/~/media/mckinsey/business%20functions/sustainability/sustainability%20blog/emissions%20reduction%20goals%20and%20opportunities%20in%20the%20asia%20pacific%20region/6_sbts_companes_web3.png?cq=50&cpy=Center"/><img alt="Emissions reduction goals and opportunities in the Asia鈥揚acific region" src="/~/media/mckinsey/business%20functions/sustainability/sustainability%20blog/emissions%20reduction%20goals%20and%20opportunities%20in%20the%20asia%20pacific%20region/6_sbts_companes_web3.png?cq=50&cpy=Center" loading="lazy"/></picture></div><div class="mck-u-sr-only"></div></div> <p>The number of companies with emissions reduction targets varies widely across the region.
