Scope 3 emissions typically account for as much as 80% of a company’s total emissions. While many companies have developed tangible strategies to reduce their Scopes 1 & 2 emissions, tackling Scope 3 is proving far more challenging given the lack of available data, its relative opaqueness and the notorious subjectivity around ownership of emissions.
This 4-part series was designed to educate operational staff engaged in ESG & climate topics and appropriate procurement personnel from private equity portfolio companies about Scope 3 emissions, as well as why and how to engage with their value chain partners to reduce emissions impact overall. The webinar series provided practical guidance that was brought to life by real-world case studies from sustainability professionals, in a broad range of sectors, who lived and breathed the journey.
