Your "Climate Strategy" is Missing 90% of the picture

𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 "𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆" 𝗶𝘀 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝟵𝟬% 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗶𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲.

Most companies focus on what they can see: their factories and their electricity bills (Scope 1 & 2).

But the GHG Protocol reveals a harder truth: for most industries, 𝟴𝟬-𝟵𝟬% 𝗼𝗳 𝗲𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 lie in 𝗦𝗰𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝟯—your supply chain and product use.

If you aren't measuring Scope 3, you aren't managing your business risk.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗡𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗞𝗻𝗼𝘄:

🔹 𝗦𝗰𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝟭 (𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹):
The exhaust from your trucks, the gas in your boilers, and the chemical reactions in your process.
Action: Electrify fleets, switch fuels, fix leaks.

🔹 𝗦𝗰𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝟮 (𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗘𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆):
The emissions from the power plants keeping your lights on.
Action: Switch to 100% renewable power (RE100) and improve efficiency.

🔹 𝗦𝗰𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝟯 (𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗜𝗰𝗲𝗯𝗲𝗿𝗴):
Everything else. The steel you buy, the business flights you book, and the emissions your customers generate using your product.
Reality: This is where the regulatory hammer (CSRD, SEC) is falling in 2025.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 "𝗦𝗰𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝟯" 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱:
According to recent 2025 updates (Source: ESG Today), new regulations like the EU's CSRD are turning voluntary Scope 3 reporting into a mandatory audit requirement.

Investors know that a company ignoring Scope 3 is a company blind to its supply chain risks.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗢𝗻𝗲𝗖𝗶𝗿𝗰𝗹𝗲 𝗩𝗶𝗲𝘄:
Don't view the 3 Scopes as a compliance checklist. View them as a map of your influence.
- Scope 1 & 2 = Operational Efficiency
- Scope 3 = Supply Chain Resilience & Product Innovation

Which of the 15 Scope 3 categories is the hardest for your team to track? (Data from suppliers is usually the #1 headache. Let’s discuss solutions below).
