Supply-chain Decarbonisation (Scope 3) for manufacturing, retail and food & drink sectors

Supply chain emissions (Scope 3) for most manufacturing companies represent over 80% of carbon impact but also over 90% of the complexity, so where do you start?

This session will focus on how to approach your Scope 3 emissions calculation, which forms your upstream and downstream supply chain emissions.

According to research by McKinsey most Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) or manufacturing companies can have a 10 to 24 times greater impact by focusing on a reduction of Scope 3 versus their direct emissions (Scope 1 and 2).

So, where do you start?

This webinar will provide an overview of the different categories of Scope 3 within the GHG (greenhouse gas) protocol; how to define which categories are most relevant to your business (so called “boundary setting”); and the four common approaches to Scope 3 calculation and their pros and cons. In this one hour session we will share practical steps and examples covering:

– How to approach supply chain footprint analysis (Scope 3)
– How to engage suppliers and understand their carbon literacy
– How to understand what data is available (e.g. spend-based, unit-based emission factors)
– How to engage all suppliers to understand their footprint
– How to deliver value you for Your business and Your Customers

There will also be opportunity for Q&A – discussion will be encouraged.

This is not all about reporting but practical steps to value creation.
