Register here: Unlocking the Scope 3 opportunity – Insights from Asia Pacific businesses registration – Webex
The climate crisis is intensifying, but so too is the movement to decarbonize. The past two decades have seen a concerted push by governments, investors and consumers to hold companies accountable for their carbon footprint with corresponding efforts in the business community to track and report their scope 1 and scope 2 emissions.
More recently, there has been increased scrutiny on scope 3 emissions, the indirect emissions that are produced by a company’s supply chain.
This session will provide an excellent opportunity to gain insights from subject matter experts from industry, research and education organizations. They will discuss the Scope 3 emissions landscape in Asia Pacific with real-life examples of how companies are responding to one of the defining corporate themes of our time.
