There’s a high chance that the large businesses you work with will be reporting on their emissions already – and they will expect your support.
Sustainability legislation is evolving and expanding quickly. Many businesses are already required to report on their carbon emissions by the likes of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR), while further legislation, such as the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), is on the way.
Such reporting extends to calculating scope 3 emissions, which covers all indirect emissions related to a company’s activities across its value chain. This value chain is interconnected, meaning that your emissions form part of your customers’ scope 3 calculations. Considering this, and the compliance demands, being able to provide accurate carbon calculations is already a prerequisite for working as a supplier for some companies. So, how can you deliver the accurate carbon calculations that will meet the sustainability expectations of your customers, help build long-term relationships with them and increase your chance of winning new business in the future?
