The never-ending Scope 3 challenge<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Scope 3 reporting is an enormous challenge for enterprise ESG leaders. As the spotlight on ESG grows, the industry evolves, and regulations move towards making Scope 3 reporting mandatory, there is ever-growing pressure to get this right.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

An ESG leader at a financial service company — and <\/span>member of the ESG & CSR Board — was facing the challenge of collecting Scope 3 data and wanted to benchmark with others in the same position at other major companies on how they\u2019re collecting category 1 and 2 data from suppliers. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

ESG & CSR Board members shared their tactics for collecting Scope 3 data.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

The member posted this question to Fast Feedback — our private, facilitated member forum — where eight<\/span> enterprise<\/span> ESG leaders <\/span>chimed in to share how they approach capturing Scope 3 data.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Few members — if any — have this challenge completely figured out, but the <\/span>candid <\/span>responses they gave contained actionable insights, vendor recommendations, and why they\u2019ve made the decisions they have.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Insights included:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Detailed looks at their methodologies (i.e. <\/span>s<\/span>everal said they use a hybrid of spend-based calculations and actuals when capturing category 1 and 2 data from suppliers and vendors.)<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n
    • Which EF databases they\u2019re using (and recommend)<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        \n
      • Whether they use a homegrown template, and if so, what that looks like<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        One nowhere-else conversation helped <\/span>this<\/span> billion-dollar company build their Scope 3 strategy.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

        The responses the <\/span>member received not only gave him a look at how other ESG leaders at big companies across a variety of industries face this challenge — they also provided him with critical and actionable insights to take back to his leadership to inform their own strategy.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
