Your supply chain is a big deal
Scope 3 emissions are where most of your carbon footprint sits. The supply chain usually accounts for around 75% of a company’s carbon footprint and can also contribute significantly towards an organisation’s nature impacts.
So, meeting net-zero targets means achieving significant reductions throughout your supply chain - you simply can’t get there without doing it.
What is scope 3 supplier engagement?
Scope 3 supplier engagement is the active collaboration with your suppliers to improve sustainability, ethical practices, and overall performance within your supply chain.
By engaging with your suppliers, you can address various issues such as reducing carbon emissions, promoting responsible sourcing, and enhancing labour standards.

Our unique approach
Bioregional helped us to make sense of the technical data provided by our suppliers and make a call on what was appropriate to integrate into our scope 3 footprint. As well as giving us a more specific read on our carbon footprint, Bioregional’s recommendations helped us have productive conversations needed to amplify impacts throughout our supply chain, and support our choice of suppliers for future years.

Bioregional’s data-driven, yet people-focused approach helped us understand where to focus our efforts to achieve our net-zero ambitions. We’re now better equipped to deliver on these ambitions with a set of ambitious but realistic targets and a roadmap outlining short- and long-term priorities.
