Tackling Scope 3 Emissions Through Collective Action

The Value Change Initiative is a peer-to-peer learning forum bringing together 500+ climate experts, developing solutions to implement and achieve value chain emission reductions & removals.

By accelerating Scope 3 interventions and facilitating collective action, we enable corporates to credibly account and report value chain impact, and to show progress towards science-based targets.

Net Zero by 2050

Companies need to reach Net Zero by 2050 to remain on a 1.5°C pathway and help alleviate the worst impacts of climate change.

Scope 3 emissions, often overlooked, represent on average 75-90% of a company’s overall greenhouse gas emissions.

At the Value Change Initiative, we understand that no company can tackle Scope 3 emissions alone. That’s why we have created this collaborative engagement forum to transform challenges into opportunities and develop solutions together.

Shaping How-to Scope 3

Bringing together ambitious organisations

We bring together 100+ leading corporates, civil society actors, and recognised standards alongside 400+ Scope 3 and climate experts and focus on solving practical challenges of tackling Scope 3 emissions.

Co-creating implementation guidance

Members move beyond theory by collectively learning, defining, co-creating and testing guidance, tools and implementation trajectories to solve practical Scope 3 challenges and achieve ambitious targets.

Removing barriers for Scope 3 action at scale

Delivering a clear and consistent approach to Scope 3 emission reductions to enable corporates to credibly account in line with the GHG Protocol, report impact up and down value chains, and demonstrate progress towards Science-based Targets.

The Challenges We Address

Value chains complexity

- The intrinsic nature of value chains and their complexity
- Achieving full traceability for VC interventions is nearly impossible
- The need for sector-specific guidance.

Lack of collaboration and harmonisation

- The need for joint action and co-investment across value chains
- The problem of working only with suppliers with full traceability which is preventing scaling value chain decarbonization

Lack of clarity on accounting and reporting

No clear guidance on how to include intervention results into inventories
Lack of clarity of how to deal with accounting challenges such as crop rotations or by-products
The need to attribute impacts over various value chain players to support co-investments
