Full breakdown of the workshops
WORKSHOP 1 | 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM
Identification, measurement and analysis
With scope 3 emissions representing the largest and most critical piece of the net-zero puzzle, our opening round of workshop discussions will explore how value chain emissions can be effectively calculated, measured and factored into net-zero strategies – including the interlinkages with other non-financial reporting frameworks.
Net-zero alignment and target-setting
How should scope 3 emissions be aligned with broader net-zero strategies and transition plans? How should a scope 3 reduction target be effectively set and implemented across a business? And how can we ensure these targets are credible and will be acted upon immediately?
Identification and assessment
How should organisational activities be mapped across the 15 scope 3 categories and which categories are most or least relevant? Where are the ‘emissions hotspots’ and therefore the most material areas of the value chain to focus on? How can suppliers be analysed and segmented to create targeted interaction models?
Calculation and measurement
How can existing emissions data be utilised to establish baselines? What are the data requirements to reduce scope 3 emissions? How can scope 3 emissions be calculated in line with the UK standard GHG Protocol? What digital enablers (data, software) exist to better measure and track your scope 3 footprint and reduction efforts?
1. Understand what makes an ambitious, impactful and credible scope 3 strategy
2. Asses where you are now and identifying your scope 3 emission hotspots
3. Identify tools and techniques to support your emissions calculations approach
WORKSHOP 2 | 1:30 PM - 3:00 PM
Action, engagement and reporting
With the scope 3 data being collected and emissions hotspots identified, our second round of workshop discussions will move onto the implementation phase; exploring the specific steps and actions that can be taken to accelerate reductions and drive value chain improvements – from engaging colleagues, to incentivising and collaborating with suppliers – along with guidance on how to report on your scope 3 initiatives.
Stakeholder engagement
What does good governance on scope 3 emissions look like? How should different job functions be engaging on scope 3 (e.g. sustainability, procurement, c-suite)? What other internal engagement approaches could be effective – e.g. education and training, and staff incentives, broader collaborative programmes?
Supply chain actions
What actions can be taken to accelerate emissions reductions across the value chain? How can supplier criteria be reviewed and reshaped to drive change? What engagement and incentivisation strategies can be implemented to improve value chain emissions? How can new collaborations be formed to drive continual improvement?
Reporting and assurance
How should businesses be effectively reporting on scope 3 emissions and associated reduction programmes? How does scope 3 reporting link with other reporting mechanisms, e.g. CDP, SBTi, TCFD and CSRD? And how can third-party assurance support the credibility of a scope 3 and net-zero strategy?
1. Learn how to approach internal teams and senior management to cut scope 3 emissions
2. Gain specific insights and actions to reduce supplier emissions and increase efficiencies
3. Shape your emissions reporting strategy in ways which drive continual improvement
One of the biggest priorities among delegates at our flagship edie 24 event in March was calculating and reducing scope 3 emissions and engaging with suppliers on decarbonisation targets. In fact, edie’s latest Sustainable Business Tracker survey revealed that tackling scope 3 emissions is a “high priority” or “business-critical priority” for 60% of business leaders this year.
Our scope 3 emissions sessions at edie 24 were at full capacity, this separate event allows us the space and time to delve into the detail and help businesses turn the dial on this topic.
