Regulations, Reporting, and Target Setting

Scope 3 emissions is facing considerable attention from policymakers, standard setters, customers, and the financial sector as they seek to promote greater accuracy, transparency, and progress among businesses and their approach to value chain emissions. This is reflected in the rise of net-zero-aligned policies, updated guidance on target setting, and increasing expectations from investors.

Retaining competitiveness and resilience in the face of these changes will demand that companies accelerate their progress by recognising Scope 3 as a source of business intelligence and value creation. This webinar series aims to help companies of all sizes elevate their Scope 3 strategy by aligning on the latest and most effective measurement techniques, incorporating Scope 3 into business strategy, and ultimately adapting business models to realise a decarbonised value chain.

This series will help participants:

• Understand how they can respond to the growing regulatory pressures, target-setting guidance, disclosure requirements, and investor expectations around Scope 3;
• Build confidence in understanding their Scope 3 footprint through aligning with emerging best practices in emissions accounting;
• Build the confidence and capacity needed to set and validate Scope 3 targets;
• Understand how to leverage Scope 3 insights for business model adaptations and transformations, including addressing emissions through the lens of circularity, nature, and climate risk.

As the first webinar in the series, this session will help participants to understand what the latest regulations and requirements mean for their approach to Scope 3 over the short, medium, and long term. Insights from influential bodies, in addition to business case studies, will demonstrate how aligning with the needs of these key stakeholders can justify investment into more effective data collection, stronger collaboration within value chains, and greater transparency in reporting.
