Devin O’ Herron offers Scope 3 emission
When addressing greenhouse gas( GHG) emissions, manufacturers face a unique challenge: over 70 percent of a company’ s carbon footprint is found in their supply chain. Despite difficulties in collecting this data from third parties, the pressure to understand and reduce emissions is growing. Customers, investors, and company employees are all demanding action, and businesses can’ t afford to wait.
A roadmap to emissions data
To meet stakeholder expectations, companies need to take a proactive, collaborative approach. Where does this start? With a clear baseline of emissions data. After all, manufacturers can’ t manage what they’ re not measuring.
Manufacturers should encourage every supplier in their supply chain to begin the process of quantifying their emissions. These efforts should align with globally accepted best practices, such as the Greenhouse Gas Protocol.
