The Changing Role of the CPO: Driving the Scope 3 Imperative

Supply chain decarbonization is no longer just a priority, it’s a test of strategy, systems, and speed. Yet most Scope 3 emissions remain unmanaged, leaving companies stuck between intention and execution.

Supported by insights from 135,000 carbon scorecards and 48,000 GHG reporters from the EcoVadis network, learn which supplier actions deliver real climate progress and what’s at stake if companies fail to act.
