Scope 3 emissions remain the single largest bottleneck in corporate climate action—especially across complex agricultural value chains. While 60% of North American food and beverage companies are making steady progress on scope 1 and 2, only 44% of those reporting through SBTi are seeing meaningful reductions in scope 3. Direct operational fixes simply aren't enough to address scope 3 at scale. The solution? Moving from isolated projects to strategic, collaborative action. To provide insights into strategies and solutions for collaborative scope 3 decarbonization, we've partnered with SustainCERT for our latest industry report: "Accelerating Collaborative Scope 3 Action to Meet Near-Term Climate Goals." In this report, we break down: 💡 Strategic Collaboration: How co-investment models and co-claiming build shared value and de-risk supply chain decarbonization. 📈 Market-Based Instruments (MBIs): How evolving standards like SBTi' CNZS v2 enable credible reporting without physical traceability hurdles. 🛰️ Digital Innovation: How digital MRV infrastructure simplifies data collection, eliminates double counting, and scales verified impact.

Join us for a 30 minute briefing on how to spend less on global EACs across RECs, GOs, and I-RECs. Most EAC overspend happens before you ever go to market. Gaps go unsized. PPA surplus goes unused. Purchases get made without a clear view of price or timing. Learn how to size your real gap, use existing PPA supply, and time purchases with confidence. Live Q&A included.

When it comes to thermal decarbonisation, the stakes are highest in gas-intensive sectors. 🔥 For industrial operations, pharmaceutical sterilisation, food and beverage processing, and chemical production, natural gas usage generally accounts for 25% to 30% of baseline emissions. 🏭⚡ Because fossil gas emissions impact both direct operations and upstream supply chains, tackling heat is a priority across the value chain. The good news? As an immediate, scalable, drop-in solution, biomethane enables buyers and their key suppliers to tackle thermal emissions without costly equipment or infrastructure change. 👉 Access the brief to learn more.

🔍 "What's the hierarchy for supply chain traceability requirements when it comes to scope 3 interventions?" A great question. V2 introduces a four-level hierarchy that governs where climate action counts most. 🔹Activity level -> directly targets the emission source 🔹Activity pool -> shared systems you source from or feed into 🔹Sector level -> market- or geography-wide action (not available for scope 1) 🔹Enabling actions -> addressing structural barriers, though these don't count toward target progress The takeaway: it's a roadmap for where your effort has the most impact. We unpack this, and the emissions-intensive activity (EIA) reporting requirements that go with it, in our full Q&A ➾ https://lnkd.in/eNCJEXye

Most EAC overspend happens before you ever go to market. Gaps go unsized. PPA surplus goes unused. Purchases get made without a clear view of pricing or market timing. Changing requirements can make those decisions harder to unwind. Join us for 3 Ways to Cut Your EAC Spend This Procurement Season, a 30-minute LinkedIn Live briefing for teams buying RECs, GOs, I-RECs, and other EACs across global markets. We’ll cover how to: ✅ Buy only what counts: Size your actual gap and avoid certificates that won’t support your renewable energy claims. ✅ Use what you own first: Evaluate whether to carry forward, reallocate, swap, or sell surplus EACs. ✅ Know the price and when to act: Use market pricing and liquidity signals to evaluate quotes and make better-informed purchasing decisions.

Can you trace every reported renewable energy result back to its source data, methodology, allocations, and decision records? SBTi's Corporate Net-Zero Standard V2.0 will expect you to, throughout the entire target cycle. That is one of five changes in the final standard, alongside regional matching, hourly reporting readiness, and stronger EAC traceability. Our brief walks through all five. Download it and audit your own readiness.
