The majority of companies with SBTi targets are listed corporations such as ABB, Givaudan, Holcim, Nestlé and Novartis, but there are also some companies with fewer than 250 employees. Around 10 new companies have joined since the beginning of the year.

Five companies have withdrawn so far: cabling specialist Reichle & De-Massari (R&M), wheel rim manufacturer Ronal, chemicals company Archroma, commodities trader Ecom Agroindustrial and industrial group Sulzer.

The SBTi is a globally active organization that is supported by business associations, environmental organizations and the UN. To date, over 10,800 companies worldwide have joined the initiative.
