Cartus Achieves SBTi Validation for Net-Zero Targets, Leading Talent Mobility Industry
Cartus Corporation, a prominent player in global talent mobility, has announced that its near-term and long-term greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets have received validation from the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This achievement marks a significant milestone, positioning Cartus as the first major global talent mobility company to align its climate goals with the Paris Agreement’s objective to limit global warming to 1.5°C. The announcement was made on September 25, 2023.
Commitment to Sustainability
David Pascoe, Executive Senior Vice President of Global Talent Mobility and Head of Supply Chain at Cartus, emphasized the importance of this validation. “When we joined SBTi in 2023, we made a promise to lead with action. Today, that promise has been realized. Validation by SBTi demonstrates that our targets are not just aspirational—they are science-based, measurable, and aligned with what the planet needs,” he stated.
The validated targets encompass both near-term and long-term goals:
- Near-term Targets:
- Reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 63.0% by 2035.
- Reduce scope 3 GHG emissions per employee relocated by 67.0% by 2035.
- Long-term Targets:
- Reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90.0% by 2050.
- Reduce scope 3 GHG emissions per employee relocated by 97.0% by 2050.
Focus on Scope 3 Emissions
As most of Cartus' emissions arise from scope 3, the company aims to reduce emission intensity, focusing on the sustainability of each corporate relocation managed. Cartus recognizes that companies are increasingly looking for partners who share their sustainability values and commitments, and the SBTi validation underscores Cartus' dedication to environmental stewardship.

Managing over 80,000 relocations annually, Cartus translates climate action into significant impact across various industries and regions. This newly validated commitment reflects Cartus' ongoing Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) journey, which also includes enhancing operational efficiencies, supplier engagement, and providing innovative solutions that assist clients in achieving their own sustainability objectives.
