Methods matter. In the Scope 3 space, methods help practitioners and stakeholders to understand action and impact towards a NetZero world. This is such a crucial topic at this moment for the Scope 3 community, and to advance the conversation all practitioners need to understand the fundamentals. Also, this is very timely, as this will be one of the topics to deep-dive during the next session of the Food and Ag Working Group of the Value Change Initiative, brilliantly led by Naomi Montenegro Navarro. We are excited to create the space for these conversations with our members. #scope3 #netzero #netzerovaluechains Francesca Palamidessi Kitti Tóth Mariana Butrich Cisneros

Wondering about the differences between inventory and project accounting? Read our blog for a review of key definitions from GHG Protocol's standards and guidance documents. This comparative review comes amid renewed interest in various GHG accounting approaches raised during the open stakeholder feedback process that begun in early 2023 and is designed to point readers to source material for further engagement and exploration. ➡️ https://bit.ly/4axDgjx

When thinking about which tools, mechanisms and pathways to enact climate responsibility, methods of accounting are *one of* the key issues. This is essential grounding in the topic and something I'd urge those engaging in discourse to read around and understand first. #corporateresponsibility #ghgaccounting #corporatereporting

🌍 Understanding Scope 3 Flexibility in GHG Accounting (Beta Version) 🌍 The British Standards Institution (BSI), the UK’s national standards body, is collaborating with the Voluntary Carbon Markets Integrity Initiative (VCMI) to help them deliver a robust, transparent, and representative consultation process for VCMI’s beta Scope 3 Claim. The Claim can be used as an additional tool for companies to act on their scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions.  Enter the "Scope 3 Flexibility Claim" in the beta version of GHG accounting standards. This concept offers companies some leeway in how they report Scope 3 emissions, acknowledging the difficulties of accurate data collection and calculation. This flexibility might play out: Reporting Allowances: Companies can omit or estimate certain categories that are difficult to quantify. Phased Implementation: Gradual expansion of Scope 3 categories as better data becomes available. Data Sources: Greater flexibility in using secondary data or industry proxies when direct data isn’t accessible. The goal is to encourage participation in Scope 3 reporting while recognizing the practical challenges involved. As companies navigate these complexities, this beta flexibility aims to foster transparency and gradual improvement. #GHG #Scope3
