Cost-effective pathways to reducing Scope 3 emissions through renewable electricity
Description
Scope 3 emissions generated across a company’s supplier network are among the most complex and challenging sources of emissions to address, often accounting for more than 80% of an organization’s total carbon footprint. While companies may capture early “quick wins” through supplier consolidation, strategic sourcing shifts, and logistics optimization, achieving deeper emissions reductions typically requires more sophisticated, resource-intensive interventions. This roundtable will provide a strategic overview of how organizations can design and implement a renewable electricity strategy across their supplier base. The discussion will focus on practical approaches to engaging suppliers at varying stages of sustainability maturity and deploying tailored solutions that balance impact, feasibility, and cost. We’ll explore key questions like: How does one identify which suppliers to prioritize for renewable electricity? What options exist for suppliers in developing markets? Who pays for these investments?
