The Guide to Achieving Sustainable Procurement with Scope 3 Emissions Data

For most businesses on their emissions reduction journey, the most challenging step is decarbonising their supply chain. While some businesses may still believe that if they don’t manufacture, they don’t emit, research indicates that the majority of business emissions often lie in the supply chain, accounting for 26 times their direct emissions. That’s why sustainable procurement is key.

This guide is built for procurement and sustainability teams working to reduce supply chain emissions. It breaks down the challenges of Scope 3, offers practical steps for engaging suppliers, and shows how to use emissions data to drive progress on your sustainability goals.
