ESG Reporting: Tracking Scope 3 Emissions is Crucial!
ACRYPT Consulting
Scope 3 emissions play a significant role in a company’s environmental impact, accounting for up to 90% of total emissions. Challenges persist in tracking Scope 3 emissions, including data collection from suppliers, quantifying emissions from diverse activities, and associated costs. However, the benefits of accountability and environmental stewardship outweigh these challenges.
By making tracking Scope 3 emissions and reduction strategy the highest priority, we can drive positive transformations and hold companies accountable for their true environmental footprint.
Here’s why:
🌱 Responsibility: Prioritizing Scope 3 tracking and reduction strategies ensures companies take ownership of their full environmental impact, promoting sustainable practices throughout the value chain.
📊 Global Impact: With comprehensive tracking, we gain clearer insights into global emissions and reduction initiatives, enabling effective climate target setting and fostering collaborative action on a broader scale.
📉 Emissions Reduction: Tracking Scope 3 emissions encourages companies to identify and address emissions hotspots, promoting innovative solutions and driving continuous improvement.
🎯Ambitious Targets: By understanding their Scope 3 emissions, companies can set more ambitious reduction targets, aligning their actions with the urgency of climate action such as reforestation and enhancing biodiversity.
💚 Transparency & Accountability: Mandatory tracking improves transparency and accountability, fostering trust among stakeholders and enabling informed decision-making.
📝 Regulatory Compliance: Companies can navigate emerging regulations more effectively by proactively tracking and reporting Scope 3 emissions, ensuring compliance and minimizing risk.
Moreover, as part of companies’ reduction and compensation strategy, companies unable to completely reduce their emissions should invest in sustainable activities i.e. reforestation and biodiversity initiatives to achieve science-based targets. Transparent, on-site data collection and fostering a sense of ownership among local participants are crucial in ensuring impactful, community-driven stewardship contributing to a healthier planet and resilient ecosystems.
