A report by EcoVadis and Kearney reveals that many companies underestimate their Scope 3 supply chain emissions by up to three times due to reliance on unreliable or averaged supplier data. Regulatory pressures in the US and Europe on carbon emissions reporting are increasing, while verified carbon data enables better supplier engagement, faster emissions reductions, and commercial advantages.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
You must urgently rethink your carbon data strategy because investors and regulators now demand verified supply chain emissions data, and your current estimates might be three times too low. Focusing on high-emitting suppliers first opens a clear path to reducing risk and gaining competitive advantage.
