What is Scope 3?
Source: Greenhouse Gas Protocol
Why does it matter?
→ Full value-chain accountability
→ Shared responsibility and
stewardship
→ Awareness of risks and
opportunities across multiple
sectors and geographies
→ New market differentiation for
products that drive the low-
carbon transition
→ Deepened understanding of
embodied emissions in critical
material and fuel inputs
→ Baselines for science-based
targets

The role of data in your
strategy
Wenjuan Liu | RMI
Companies need more supplier-specific data
Data quality has been identified as the biggest challenge in tackling scope 3 emissions
of CDP responding companies
use supplier-specific
methodologies to calculate
their scope 3 emissions
Source: CDP Supply Chain Report 2022, March 2023
Bridging the implementation gap
Existing model is not effective in driving needed reduction actions for key emitting sectors
General
frame
works
Follow GHG Protocol framework
or other overarching frameworks
Consolidate collected data, then:
1) Improve scope 3 emissions
inventory
2) Set scope 3 target following
SBTi guidance
3) Engage with suppliers on
reduction opportunities
Follow CDP questionnaire,
engage suppliers for scope 3
emissions
Fill out questionnaire and disclose
required data to buyers
Lack sectoral specificity
to provide clarity in key
questions
Questionnaires are often generic;
Require sectoral knowledge to
drive sector-specific actions
Buyers don’t know how to
make the best use of the
data, thereby delaying
reduction actions.

Supplier-specific data Scope 3 strategy impact
Material-specific climate metrics
• Engage suppliers with more targeted questions
• Better understand suppliers’ decarbonization
actions
Primary metal emissions
• Provides clarity on emissions sources
• Informs low-carbon procurement strategies
Recycling information
• Inform recycling and circularity decarbonization
strategies
Primary data
• Reduce data uncertainty, set baselines for
accurate progress tracking
Specific data empowers scope 3 action
Facilitates collaboration along supply chain to jointly tackle emissions hot spots

• Product level data will inform participant’s internal
carbon pricing system
• Product-level data will be critical establishing the
scope 3 inventory for participant to set 1.5 aligned
reduction targets
Example: Case studies show impacts of data-empowered actions
Pilots demonstrated that improving data transparency can enable decarbonization action
STEEL: AUTOMOTIVE
Pilots were conducted between August and December 2023 with 10 organizations. Reports are forthcoming in March at rmi.org.
• The additional metrics included in RMI’s Guidance
could improve procurement strategy
• Participant to include metrics in supplier
questionnaires to provide further transparency on
suppliers’ abatement actions
STEEL: AUTOMOTIVE
• Participant to include more sectoral targeted metrics in
supplier survey to improve responsible sourcing
practices
• Standardized emissions data exchange enables scale
to entire supplier network
ALUMINUM: AUTOMOTIVE
• Buildings value chain collaboration resulted in better
emissions data for procurement decisions
• Aluminum specifications used by property developer in
subsequent project to compare curtain wall
manufacturers
