A practical, evidence-based transition-planning example for the footwear supply chain
SSBTi is making the public-release version of CJCHT Groups Limited’s 2026 Climate Transition Plan available through its disclosure platform following completion of a first-stage independent plan review.
CJCHT is a footwear supply-chain manufacturer and supplier. Unlike large multinational companies, traditional manufacturers may not have permanent in-house climate specialists or extensive transition budgets. Their climate plans must therefore be technically credible, commercially realistic and proportionate to their actual resources.

Clarifying the Roles of SBTi and SSBTi
In this solution package,
SBTi refers to the Science Based Targets initiative, including the science-based target-setting framework and its associated formal validation mechanism for corporate climate targets.
SSBTi is the abbreviation for the Supply-chain Science Based Targets Institute, with its official website at SSBTi.org. Its registered legal entity in Taiwan is 「社團法人一點五度科學減碳倡議標準協會」.
Initiated in Asia by the CJCHT Group, SSBTi serves as a collaboration, review and implementation platform for supply-chain sustainability. It helps supply-chain companies coordinate emissions-reduction actions and make continued progress toward net-zero goals.
Its core role is to translate corporate climate commitments, international frameworks and customer requirements into actionable supplier tasks, training programs, data rules, reporting requirements and connected information systems.
SSBTi does not replace the formal SBTi target-validation mechanism, nor does it directly replace qualified independent assurance, verification or certification bodies. Instead, SSBTi works through its professional collaboration network, connecting professors, reviewers, verifiers and specialist organizations with relevant qualifications, methodological capabilities and industry experience.
Based on customer requirements, project scope and applicable standards, this network provides report review and technical assessment that connect data quality and methodology with practical supply-chain management.
The scope may include customer-required LCA reports, EPD documentation, ISO 14064-1 organizational GHG inventory reports, ISO 14067 product carbon-footprint reports, CBAM reports, CDP disclosures and SBTi target-related documentation.
Where a project requires a formal assurance statement, validation opinion, certificate or registered publication, the final output remains subject to the applicable scheme rules and must be performed or issued by an independent organization holding the required qualifications and authorization for that specific program.
SSBTi addresses the most difficult work that remains after corporate targets have been established and reports have been reviewed: supplier onboarding, data coordination, capability building, management integration and continuous improvement. Its role is to help companies transform one-time reporting outcomes into a supply-chain management system that can operate and improve over time.
For member companies, SSBTi.org also functions as a shared third-party coordination platform, connecting value-chain leaders, suppliers, advisors, technology providers, industry, government and academic stakeholders, and qualified verification bodies. This enables companies to build a collaborative supply-chain ecosystem around shared environmental and sustainability objectives more efficiently.
