Scope 3 is about pulling everyone forward with shared rewards
Big buyers impose requirements without financing or shared incentives. Suppliers bear the costs while lead companies claim the credits.
Scope 3 mitigation isn't about pushing targets down the value chain, it's about pulling everyone forward with shared rewards
Even large corporations struggle with Scope 3 emissions: Many set ambitious targets but progress lags because current approaches often shift the burden downstream. Big buyers impose requirements on suppliers without providing sufficient support, financing, or shared incentives.
