December 12, 2022 EcoVadis

Speaker: Simon Boas Hoffmeyer, Group Sustainability and ESG Senior Director, Carlsberg, hosted by Ferbal Byrne, Executive Producer, The Sustainability Agenda 

As questions surrounding Scope 3 emissions are rising on the business agenda, understanding why and how we must address them is key to achieving decarbonization. With that in mind, we have launched a podcast series featuring senior business and thought leaders who talk us through their experiences in tackling supply chain decarbonization.

Net Zero: Targets, Goals Objectives and the Start of the Decarbonization Journey

Carlsberg did its first global Scope3 emissions assessments over a decade ago with the first attempt to analyze the impact of the company's and its suppliers' fuel and energy usage. But it wasn't until 2017 that the Group launched its sustainability program Together Towards ZERO, which introduced a more professional approach to Scope 3 management with consistent measurements and understanding what had to be done in order to reduce emissions.
