Data refinement and supplier engagement strategies highlight primary data used to determine an estimate of the Scope 3 categories that have the highest impact on your business. There are multiple layers to your Scope 3 analysis. It starts with the Scope 3 Emissions Inventory and continues with ongoing Scope 3 inventories and supplier engagement. The goal is to improve data quality over time and eventually receive primary data from your suppliers.

 

  • Scope 3 emissions represent up to 90% of your company's emissions. You can’t calculate your Scope 3 emissions without conducting a Scope 3 Emissions Inventory. It is the critical first step in understanding which categories and suppliers have the biggest impact on your Scope 3 GHG emissions.

 

Expected Results of Scope 3 Emissions Inventory:

The expected results of a Scope 3 Emissions Inventory Analysis would be a pie chart indicating the top Scope 3 categories for your company. This information would offer a starting point for a deeper dive into the Purchased Goods and Services category.

This allows you to complete a more detailed and focused inventory that includes refined calculation methods. It also helps with starting a supplier engagement program for top suppliers.
