[Nordic CPO] The CPO’s New Mandate: Leading Scope 3 Transformation

January 30, 2026

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.
