Explore this paper to examine renewable energy as a scope 3 decarbonization solution, so you can build a successful supplier program.
As organizations around the world work together to develop and implement solutions to meet global greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction goals, companies with complex and emissions-intensive supply chains—particularly in the food and beverage industry—often face challenges due to limited levers and resources available to effectively manage their scope 3 emissions. To address this challenge, supply chain […]
Watch the video to learn strategies for supplier engagement and pathways to renewable energy procurement.
Discover how a Fortune 500 food company achieved a 25% Scope 3 emissions reduction through an innovative carbon insetting strategy.
Scope 3 emissions are made up of 15 categories of emissions and typically account for a vast majority of an organization’s total emissions footprint. Of those 15 categories, Category 1, Purchased Goods & Services, ranks in the top three highest emissions sources for organizations across all sectors. Want to learn more about your Category 1? […]
Is your supplier engagement program action-oriented? Does it inspire your suppliers to take an action that reduces their emissions, right now? If not, you are not alone. Most supplier programs are more circumspect – they ask suppliers to consider interim steps: set a goal, calculate a footprint, or even, attend a webinar! Engaging suppliers directly […]
What is carbon insetting and how does insetting work? Companies are diligently working to reduce their direct emissions and energy purchases—known as scope 1 and scope 2 emissions—to meet corporate sustainability targets. However, the majority of emissions for most organizations stem from indirect sources within their extensive value chains, categorized as scope 3 emissions. Carbon […]
The climate action journey is long, and luckily numerous companies have already gotten started. Many are taking steps to address their scope 2 electricity emissions through implementing energy efficiency, purchasing energy attribute certificates (EACs), executing power purchase agreements (PPAs), or other measures. While that’s a great start, most organizations’ scope 3, or indirect emissions, make […]
One of the more difficult places to make meaningful reductions is in scope 3, not just because of its size, but also due in part to the emissions falling outside of an organization’s direct control. However, organizations that collaborate with their suppliers will be in a stronger position to implement successful value chain interventions and […]
3Degrees’ John Bourne joined Mike Nemer for eRENEWABLE and The Green Insider Podcast, where they discussed carbon insetting and original ways organizations are reducing emissions within their supply chain. Tune in as John explains, what carbon insetting is, how companies are using insetting to make significant impacts within their own supply chain, and the innovative […]
When it comes to measuring and managing your greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, your direct emissions aren’t the only ones that matter. In fact, indirect emissions, particularly scope 3 emissions, can comprise the bulk of your overall corporate emissions. Plus, scope 3 emissions are typically the hardest to track and reduce, because companies can only influence—not […]
The need for companies to understand the emissions footprint of their value chain is becoming standard practice, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy to do. To best account for the opportunities and risks associated with your scope 3 emissions, organizations need to understand both their value chain’s effect on climate change and the possible effects […]
