Scope 3 Emissions Management

Overview

Scope 3 emissions encompass all indirect emissions across a company's value chain, including supply chain activities, product use, employee commuting, and end-of-life treatment. They typically represent 70-90% of a company's total carbon footprint. Managing Scope 3 requires collaboration across entire value chains, data collection from suppliers, and lifecycle assessment expertise. New regulations and investor expectations are making Scope 3 reporting mandatory. Companies leading in Scope 3 management gain competitive advantages through lower costs and stronger stakeholder relationships.
