I really enjoyed doing this #research on #Scope3 decarbonization best practices, and getting the opportunity to speak to the real Green Heros in the sustainability departments of large corporates. Here's a few important things I learned 👨🎓 :
🔍 The Questionnaire Quagmire
the current way of engaging suppliers to get their sustainability information is outdated..it's so 2023! 😉
Sending questionaires multiple times a year, hundreds of questions long, only creates ❌ "supplier fatigue" 👎 , which causes their disengagement
= not the result we want, nor the world needs.
💡 Reimagining it: Enter the Era of Effortless Engagement
I'm convinced we can leverage technology to create more intuitive, streamlined experiences.
- 🤖 By #automating data collection and verification, we can significantly
📉 reduce the burden on suppliers, while simultaneously
📈 improving the quality and reliability of the information we gather.
It's a win-win
- 💚 paradoxically technology can be more #compassionate (than a vertical wall of questions), allowing customized experiences to meet suppliers wherever they might be in their sustainability journey.
- 🧠 Focus on the biggest decarbonization for the money: making it easy for your suppliers to decarbonize their electricity with renewable energy produces 80% of the results with 20% (or even just 5%) of their effort - #ParetoDecarbonization
🚀 ReTrace to the Rescue
through the work with Zero Labs customers and our #ReTrace #SaaS Platform, I've seen firsthand how Digital Renewable Energy technology can transform Scope 3 decarbonization efforts. By radically simplifying the process and providing clear, verifiable proofs of action, we're making it way easier for companies to engage their entire value chain in meaningful climate action.
🌟 💡 Effective Scope 3 management isn't about more rigorous reporting demands, but about creating systems that make sustainable choices the easiest choices.
I'm humbled and inspired by the insights shared by the contributing sustainability leaders Alexia Kelly, Meghan Kennedy, Andrew Smith, Taylor Searcy, Hanna Ye and the others.
🫵 If you're tackling Scope 3 challenges, I encourage you to explore our findings and join this critical conversation.
We've become #Scope3Sherpas - we'll be happy to help you climb that mountain with the experience we've gathered in the process. 🧗♂️

🏔️ Scaling the Scope 3 Summit: From Analysis Paralysis to Actionable Insights
🚀 Today, we're excited to share our latest green paper:
"Defining Corporate Scope 3 Leadership in 2024: Moving from Analysis to Action"
🏔 The Scope of Scope 3 Problem
Indirect emissions caused by the upstream supply chain or downstream clients are the majority of large companies’ emissions: CDP estimates that an average 88% of a company's emissions fall under their Scope 3, with some industries even being up to 99% of their emissions. Scope 3 represents a daunting and complex challenge, making it hard to know where to start.
🥇👨🚀 But there are some bright lights and pioneers who've started to tackle Scope 3. We gathered their insights and wisdom on how to best get started so that more companies like yours can accelerate decarbonizing its Scope 3 emissions.
📊 Charting the Course
The green paper offers on solutions to four key issues for sustainability leaders that want to tackle their Scope 3 decarbonization:
1️⃣ Data gathering: How you can gather and use limited quality data
2️⃣ Upstream decarbonization: How you can easily help suppliers access clean energy
3️⃣ Downstream decarbonization: How companies can offer integrated clean energy for customers for their product and service use
4️⃣ Communication & reporting: How you can better manage and harmonize data for diverse disclosure needs
👨🚀 Trailblazers Leading the Way
We gathered expert perspectives from 10 sustainability leaders from large companies and industry stakeholders to produce this work.
🙏 A huge thanks to Alexia Kelly, Meghan Kennedy, Andrew Smith, Taylor Searcy, Hanna Ye and various others who contributed but had to remain unnamed due to internal company policy.
