Unleashing the power of Scope 3 emissions

The huge potential of decarb-driven procurement

To achieve the goals of the 2015 Paris Agreement, many companies have launched initiatives to manage and reduce their carbon footprint.

This study underscores the pivotal role of procurement in managing and reducing Scope 3 emissions, which often constitute up to 80% of a company's carbon footprint. By harnessing innovative approaches and engaging strategic supplier partnerships, companies can accelerate progress towards net-zero goals and drive meaningful change in combating climate change.
