Disruptive Perspectives on Scope 3: Is It Worth It?

Does it make sense for sustainability teams to spend budget and headcount tracking data from thousands of suppliers to fill in Scope 3 data, often with estimates too general to reflect on-the-ground reality? Or is there another approach to emissions accounting that could streamline this process and unlock sustainability teams to focus on innovation where they can have the greatest impact for our climate?

Fewer than 60 companies are responsible for 80% of global greenhouse gas emissions since 2016. Yet sustainability teams spend an average of half-a-million dollars each year tracking and reporting on their Scope 3 emissions. And when that supplier data isn’t accessible, teams are left to fill in crude estimates that have little bearing on reality. The data hunt turns sustainability leaders into detectives and accountants rather than innovators doing the real work of decarbonizing.

Come hear perspectives from industry veterans who think there must be a better way to do Scope 3.
