To accurately assess carbon impact, companies must look beyond internal operations and examine emissions from sourcing, production, delivery, product use, and disposal. These indirect emissions, known as Scope 3 emissions, often make up the largest share of a company’s environmental footprint but are the hardest to measure due to limited visibility beyond direct operations. Supply chain disruptions, defects, and product returns further increase emissions and waste. Gaining end-to-end visibility across the value chain is essential to reducing environmental impact, improving sustainability performance, and meeting growing regulatory and stakeholder expectations.
