Webinar overview:
Supply and value chain emissions remain the biggest decarbonisation challenge for many businesses looking to deliver on their net zero targets. This exclusive interactive webinar will explore why tackling so-called Scope 3 emissions is so challenging and how a growing number of organisations are pioneering innovative approaches for curbing their supply chain emissions. It will look at how to track Scope 3 emissions, identify emissions ‘hotspots’, and then work with partners and suppliers to develop effective climate strategies.
Topics to be covered include:
- How can organisations better track and report on Scope 3 value chain emissions?
- Why are Scope 3 emissions so significant?
- How can companies work with suppliers and customers to more effectively tackle Scope 3 emissions?
- What innovative new approaches are being deployed to cut supplier emissions?
- How are due diligence and reporting rules evolving to help tackle Scope 3 emissions?
- How can work to tackle Scope 3 emissions be harnessed to build supply chain resilience?
