SMART targets:

• Agreed upon or actionable

The criteria will be met if all of the following conditions are met:
- The Climate Action Plan aims to reduce both operational and area-wide emissions.

SMART targets are considered valid even if these targets are missing one of the SMART elements or are limited to operational emissions.
