Scope 3 emissions, often constituting 80-97% of a company's carbon footprint, remain a significant challenge. This latest edie Insights 2024 report reveals that tackling these emissions requires robust data collection, supplier engagement, and industry collaboration. Key themes of the report include: • Data Quality: Accurate, comprehensive data is crucial for effective management. • Governance: Integrating decarbonisation into procurement and contracts is essential. • Collaboration: Industry initiatives can enhance data quality and reduce individual burdens. • Technology: Shifting to advanced carbon accounting tools ensures transparency and audit-readiness. • Engagement: Different strategies are needed for SMEs and large suppliers, including incentives like sustainability-linked finance. Embracing these practices will drive significant progress towards net-zero goals. #Sustainability #NetZero #Scope3Emissions

What is Scope 3, and Why Should Your Business Care? Did you happen to know? Most of a company’s environmental impact doesn't come from its own operations. It comes from its supply chain, where Scope 3 emissions live. Here’s the breakdown: - Scope 1 emissions are greenhouse gases that an organisation emits from sources it owns or controls directly. - Scope 2 emissions are indirect, coming from an organisation’s purchase of electricity, steam, heat, or cooling. - Scope 3 is the BIGGEST contributor. It covers everything else — from the raw materials you buy to the transportation, waste, and services you rely on. It’s a full picture of your entire supply chain. Why it matters: - up to 90% of emissions can be hidden in Scope 3. - Pressure from regulators, consumers, and investors is mounting. Businesses won’t be able to afford to ignore the Scope 3 problem anymore. What can you do? Start tracking it now! It’s the key to making your supply chain greener and aligning with sustainability goals. Connect and follow for more insights on how to track and reduce your Scope 3 emissions. #Scope3 #Sustainability #NetZero #SupplyChain #CarbonHunter

A carbon footprint refers to the total amount of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, primarily carbon dioxide (CO2), associated with an individual, organization, product, or activity. It's a measure of the impact on climate change. *Components of a Carbon Footprint:* 1. Direct Emissions (Scope 1): - Fuel combustion (e.g., vehicles, heating) - Industrial processes (e.g., manufacturing) 2. Indirect Emissions (Scope 2): - Electricity consumption - Heat and steam purchases 3. Indirect Emissions (Scope 3): - Supply chain emissions (e.g., raw materials, transportation) - Employee commuting - Business travel - Product use and disposal *Types of Carbon Footprints:* 1. Personal Carbon Footprint: Individual emissions from daily activities. 2. Organizational Carbon Footprint: Emissions from business operations. 3. Product Carbon Footprint: Emissions from production, transportation, and disposal. *Calculating Carbon Footprint:* 1. Identify emission sources 2. Gather data (e.g., energy consumption, fuel usage) 3. Apply emission factors (e.g., CO2 per unit of energy) 4. Calculate total emissions (in CO2 equivalent) *Reducing Carbon Footprint:* 1. Energy efficiency 2. Renewable energy 3. Sustainable transportation 5. Waste reduction and recycling *Carbon Footprint Measurement Tools:* 1. Carbon calculators (e.g., EPA, Carbon Footprint) 2. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) software 3. Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHGP) 4. ISO 14064 standard *Benefits of Measuring Carbon Footprint:* 1. Identifies areas for improvement 2. Informs sustainability strategies 3. Enhances brand reputation
