More than 500 businesses across the world have publicly committed to set greenhouse gas emission reduction targets in line with climate science through the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi)

Recorded on Thursday 30 May and hosted in association with Carbon Credentials, the webinar helps businesses overcome the challenge of calculating, reporting and ultimately reducing ‘Scope 3’ supply chain emissions on the path to achieving approved science-based targets.

It incorporated real-life case studies, practical advice and a live audience Q&A about what energy and sustainability professionals can do to align to reporting requirements for Scope 3 emissions.

The context…

More than 500 businesses across the world have publicly committed to set greenhouse gas emission reduction targets in line with climate science through the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi). But less than half of these companies have actually had their targets formally approved. 

One of the main reasons for this is the highly complex challenge of reporting and reducing Scope 3 emissions. These ‘value chain emissions’ cover all indirect greenhouse gas emissions caused by the various activities of an organisation – from purchased goods and services and use of sold products to business travel, transportation and distribution – often making them the largest source of emissions. 

So, what exactly are the SBTi’s Scope 3 reporting requirements? How can businesses take control of these upstream and downstream supply chain emissions? And what tools and techniques can be used to effectively gather and act upon Scope 3 emissions data? 

This on-demand webinar brought together carbon reporting experts with senior business energy to explore how organisations can close the Scope 3 reporting gap on the road to achieving science-based targets.
