Show Me How Scope 3 Data is Transforming the Customer-Supplier Relationship and Commercial Dynamics

This discussion explores what it really takes to improve Scope 3 data in practice. Bringing together both customers and suppliers, we will share real-world experiences of developing product carbon footprints for scope 3 reporting. Helping businesses to understand what’s driving action, where the challenges remain, and how better data is starting to deliver both emissions reduction and commercial value. Designed for sustainability, procurement, and business leaders looking to move from ambition to measurable performance.

Why this session matters

Scope 3 emissions dominate most corporate carbon footprints, and reducing them is essential to achieving net zero. In theory, companies can manage scope 3 emissions by using supplier-level carbon data to both understand where emissions sit and inform the decisions needed to reduce them.

Unfortunately, the reality of addressing scope 3 emissions is not that straightforward. Most suppliers do not yet have the capability to generate the level of carbon data on their products and services that is required for companies to make meaningful purchasing decisions. Building that capability takes time, investment, and new processes.

This round table discussion will focus on key levers to unlocking better scope 3 data for actionable decision-making.
