Corporates' Supply Chain Scope 3 Emissions Are 26 Times Higher Than Their Operational Emissions
- Despite the Disproportionate Scale, Supply Chain Scope 3 Emissions Continue to Be Overlooked, with Only 15% of Corporates Having Set a Supply Chain Emissions Target
- Three Significant Drivers of Action in Supply Chain Emissions Are a Climate-Responsible Board, Supplier Engagement, and Internal Carbon Pricing
- In 2023, Disclosed Upstream Emissions from the Manufacturing, Retail, and Materials Sectors Alone Suggest a Carbon Liability1 of over $335 Billion

- Onus of Action and Accountability Falls on Corporates (Both Management and the Board of Directors) and Investors
- 儘管規模不成比例，但供應 Chain Scope 3 排放仍在繼續 不容忽視，只有 15% 的企業設定了供應鏈排放目標
- 供應鏈排放的三個重要行動驅動因素是氣候責任委員會、供應商參與和內部碳定價
- 2023 年，僅製造業、零售業和材料行業披露的上游排放量就表明存在碳責任1 超過3350億美元

LONDON and BOSTON, June 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- In 2023, corporates reported that their Scope 3 supply chain emissions were, on average, 26 times greater than their emissions from direct operations (Scopes 1 and 2).2 According to the new Scope 3 Upstream: Big Challenges, Simple Remedies report, published today by Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and CDP, upstream emissions from the manufacturing, retail and, materials sectors had a footprint 1.4 times the total CO2 emitted in the EU in 2022.
倫敦和波士頓，2024年6月25日 /PRNewswire/--2023年，企業報告稱，其範圍3供應鏈的排放量平均比直接運營（範圍1和2）的排放量高26倍。2 根據新的 範圍 3 上游：重大挑戰，簡單補救措施 報告， 波士頓諮詢集團（BCG）和CDP今天發佈的製造業、零售和材料行業的上游排放量是二氧化碳總量的1.4倍2 2022年在歐盟發行。
However, supply chain emissions continue to be overlooked, with corporates twice as likely to measure operational emissions3 (Scopes 1 and 2) than their supply chain emissions (Scope 3). Furthermore, corporates are 2.4 times more likely to set targets for operational emissions compared with supply chain emissions. Of the corporates disclosing to CDP, only 15% have set a Scope 3 target.
但是，供應鏈排放仍然被忽視，企業衡量運營排放的可能性是其兩倍3 （範圍1和2）而不是其供應鏈排放（範圍3）。此外，企業設定運營排放目標的可能性是供應鏈排放目標的2.4倍。在向CDP披露信息的企業中，只有15％設定了範圍3目標。
"These figures highlight that the challenge of effectively measuring Scope 3 emissions is widespread and spans industries," said Sonya Bhonsle, director of strategic accounts at CDP. "Meaningful strides toward emissions reductions require corporates to evaluate their full supply chain, then raise ambition and take accountability. The first step to driving meaningful change toward a 1.5°C-aligned net zero future begins with disclosure."
CDP戰略客戶董事索尼婭·邦斯勒說：“這些數字突出表明，有效測量範圍3排放的挑戰是廣泛的，跨越各行各業。”“在減排方面取得有意義的進展需要企業評估其整個供應鏈，然後提高雄心壯志並承擔責任。推動有意義的變革朝着與1.5°C保持一致的淨零排放未來的第一步從披露開始。”
The report identifies the three most significant factors that correlate with ambition and action on Scope 3 upstream emissions:
該報告確定了與範圍3上游排放的目標和行動相關的三個最重要的因素：
- Climate-Responsible Board. Corporates with a climate-responsible board, which has climate oversight and competence, are 5x more likely to have a Scope 3 target and a 1.5oC-aligned transition plan
- Supplier Engagement Programs. Corporates that engage with suppliers on climate-related issues are almost 7x more likely to have a Scope 3 target and a 1.5oC-aligned transition plan. However, only four in ten corporates engage with their suppliers.
- Adoption of Internal Carbon Pricing. Corporates with an internal carbon price mandated for all business decisions are 4x more likely to have a Scope 3 target and a 1.5°C-aligned Scope 3 transition plan.
- 氣候責任委員會。 擁有氣候責任董事會、具有氣候監督和能力的企業制定範圍 3 目標的可能性要高出 5 倍，1.5o與 C 一致的過渡計劃
- 供應商參與計劃。 在氣候相關問題上與供應商合作的企業設定範圍 3 目標的可能性要高出近 7 倍，目標爲 1.5o與C協調的過渡計劃。但是，只有十分之四的企業與供應商合作。
- 採用內部碳定價。 所有業務決策都必須採用內部碳價格的企業制定範圍 3 目標和與 1.5°C 一致的範圍 3 過渡計劃的可能性要高出 4 倍。
Disclosed upstream emissions from just the manufacturing, retail, and materials sectors in 2023 alone imply a carbon liability1 of over $335 Billion. This liability is at risk of being overlooked by both corporates and investors.
僅在 2023 年就披露的製造業、零售業和材料行業的上游排放量就意味着碳負債1 超過3350億美元。這種責任有可能被企業和投資者忽視。
"The responsibilities and incentives to act on Scope 3 emissions for corporates and investors converge on risk management, and their oversight bodies must push for risk quantification and management" says Diana Dimitrova, BCG managing director and partner, and coauthor of the report.
BCG董事總經理兼合夥人、該報告的合著者戴安娜·迪米特洛娃說：“企業和投資者對範圍3排放採取行動的責任和激勵措施集中在風險管理上，他們的監督機構必須推動風險量化和管理。”
Only half of corporates disclosing through CDP evaluate the financial risks from upstream emissions; however, of those that do, a third acknowledge the risk to profit. Despite these risks, fewer than one in ten investors require investees to disclose Scope 3 upstream emissions as part of investment policies.
在通過CDP進行披露的企業中，只有一半對上游排放的財務風險進行了評估；但是，在進行披露的企業中，有三分之一的企業承認了獲利風險。儘管存在這些風險，但只有不到十分之一的投資者要求被投資方在投資政策中披露範圍3的上游排放。
Boards have a fiduciary responsibility to manage these risks, and investors must price in the risks from carbon liability (business operational risk) and demand greater transparency through disclosure.
董事會負有管理這些風險的信託責任，投資者必須對碳負債（業務運營風險）的風險進行定價，並要求通過披露提高透明度。
By prioritizing the three significant drivers, corporates can drive a step change in managing Scope 3 upstream emissions.
通過優先考慮三個重要驅動因素，企業可以在管理範圍 3 上游排放方面推動重大變革。
