According to a recent report by CDP and Boston Consulting Group, supply chain Scope 3 upstream emissions are 26 times that of Scope 1 and 2 combined. Yet corporates are still twice as likely to measure operational emissions (Scopes 1 & 2) than their supply chain emissions (scope 3). In manufacturing these Scope 3 upstream emissions can result from a wide variety of activities making it hard to know where to begin. From recognition programs and financial incentives to R&D partnerships and sourcing arrangements, this session will explore the various strategies forward-thinking manufacturers are employing to make meaningful progress in this space.
