Drawing on the latest joint research from EcoVadis and BCG and supported by insights from 135,000 carbon scorecards and 48,000 GHG reporters from the EcoVadis network, this session provides a data-driven roadmap for Chief Procurement Officers to bridge the gap between sustainability targets and supply chain reality.
- Scope 3 is the blind spot: Upstream supply chain emissions are, on average, 21× higher than direct emissions, yet >90% of corporations lack reduction targets.
- The cost of inaction is massive: By 2030, unmanaged Scope 3 emissions could create $500B+ in annual liabilities, equivalent to 15–20% of EBIT for S&P 500 companies.
- The ROI is real: Up to 50% of supplier emissions can be abated at neutral or low cost, with returns of 3–6× on investment, and one-third of emissions can be cut for under €10 per tonne.
- Supplier engagement is the game-changer: Companies that partner with suppliers are 9× more likely to hit Scope 3 targets. Yet only 1 in 3 corporates are doing so today.
