Supply chain & stakeholders: Scope 3

Scope 3 covers all carbon emissions that happen in your company's supply chain - from making your raw materials to customers using your products.

Although there are 15 categories in Scope 3, not all may be relevant to you

The data for calculating Scope 3 will be found across all different departments in your business

A lot of these emissions will be out of your direct control, so reductions will come from your trusted supply chain partners

Influencing your internal and external stakeholders will have the biggest overall reduction in total greenhouse gas emissions

We will create your strategy for Net Zero by mapping your “ripple effect”, to ensure we make the largest emissions reduction impact

Cracking Scope 3 means your business is realistic about your Net Zero target - so you can confidently shout about it and know that you’ll be taken seriously
