The Gold Standard reports, if two companies request a supplier reports to the CDP, there’s a 68% chance they’ll respond and if three request it, it rises to a 76% chance. Of course the value chain spans beyond only suppliers and the more you find like-minded organizations who are transparent, the better chance that you will get the data, or that they are reporting their scope 1 and 2s so your scope 3s in that department would be covered and you can avoid double counting.
This is a myth because now that transparency is an important part of staying competitive in your market and ESG criteria is required by many investors, the statistics show that value chains that operate well in the green economy provide the data.
Net0 enables colleagues across the supply chain to contribute to entering data so that any scope can be accounted for and the platform itemizes and categorizes each of the upstream and downstream emissions on the report automatically.
