Scope 3 GHG Footprinting
Identifying Emissions Sources, Mitigating Risk, and Demonstrating Environmental Responsibility
Corporate value chain (Scope 3) accounting allows companies to assess their entire supply chain emissions impact and identify where to focus abatement activities. Scope 3 emissions account for the goods a company purchases to the end of use of products the company sells. The GHG Protocol released the Scope 3 Standard in 2011 and it is the only internationally accepted method. Both upstream and downstream channels are accounted for via 15 categories. Benefits of measuring Scope 3 emissions are identifying which suppliers are leaders, locating hotspots across the value chain, and encouraging product innovation to create energy-efficient products.

Abatement Planning
A High-Level Understanding of How to Achieve Your Targets
After companies measure their emissions and establish reduction goals, the next step is to assess how the company will achieve its reductions over time. The most common methodology for analyzing the impact and cost options is known as the marginal cost curve. To evaluate and prioritize actions such as solar water heating, HVAC energy efficiency, and lighting controls, companies need to weigh the abatement cost (the cost of an intervention that will reduce GHG emissions by one ton) versus the reduction in emissions. Other methodologies may be better for long-term planning and Net Zero scenarios.

Climate Risk
Factoring Climate Risk and Opportunities into Operations
Climate risk assessments identify the likelihood of future climate events and their potential impacts for companies, cities, and communities. Scenario analysis is an enhancement that explores the plausible future outcomes based on different assumptions and drivers. The gold standard methodology was the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) created in 2017. As of January 2024, the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) standards, IFRS S1 and IFRS S2, have incorporated TCFD recommendations and will be the new standard moving forward. These new standards provide a global baseline for disclosures.

Regulatory Compliance
Mitigating the Risk of Sustainability and ESG Governance
Companies are contending with an ever-increasing array of regulatory compliance requirements at the regional, national, and local levels, with a steady stream of new legislation and policy being introduced every year. Whereas ESG requirements were once focused on the largest of companies, small and medium-sized businesses are increasingly subject to compliance measures, as well, especially with the greater focus on transparency in the supply chain. Organizations must be vigilant and rigorous in their regulatory analysis and reporting in order to maintain compliance and mitigate the risks of sustainability and ESG governance.

Disclosures
Promoting Transparency and Accountability Through Regulatory Compliance
The rising tide of government and financial regulations, including CSRD, ISSB, and SFDR, to name just a few, is requiring organizations to produce disclosures at an increasing volume, with the goal of promoting transparency and accountability for environmental initiatives and reporting. The disclosure process involves a multi-step process of data collection and analysis, materiality assessment, process definition, documentation, validation, quality control, and reporting – all under the scrutiny of regulatory agencies and stakeholders. Disclosures are becoming more complex all the time, requiring a rigorous framework to ensure data integrity and a high level of accuracy in reporting.
