“ Those looking to work with their supply chains shouldn ' t get bogged down in the details or look for a standard to be set before they do anything about it . There needs to be some proactivity there ,” says Bray .
3Degrees supports its clients with a full scope of solutions designed to address their Scope 3 emissions , from conducting an initial Scope 3 inventory to supplier engagement , designing a supply chain emissions reduction strategy and implementation . When advising clients on Scope 3 , Bray explains : “ They can look at supplier engagement , strategies , education , providing the necessary tools and insights — or even a forum to collaborate among peers on things like aggregate power purchase agreements ( PPAs ).”
“ There are a number of different ways in which organisations can address their supply chain , and I think that ’ s ever-changing as technology grows and transparency is enabled . Focusing on Scope 3 while gaining primary data and insights is key to driving emissions reduction .”
Beyond the implications of Scope 3 , there are decarbonisation solutions available to businesses that could contribute to reducing emissions across all scopes .
“ 3Degrees helps in a variety of areas . We can help no matter where a corporation is on their decarbonisation journey .

As its client base grows and their needs evolve , the team at 3Degrees is adapting
