Incentivizing PCF Exchange Across Supply Chains

This white paper explores how companies can strategically engage suppliers to improve the exchange of supplier-specific Product Carbon Footprints (PCFs), a critical step in managing Scope 3 emissions. It addresses the dual challenges of securing internal alignment and effectively collaborating with suppliers of varying climate maturity and impact.

The paper provides a structured approach for prioritizing supplier engagement based on emissions relevance, tailoring incentives, and integrating PCF data collection into broader decarbonization strategies. By establishing shared accountability and leveraging practical governance models, it outlines a path to more accurate, scalable, and impactful Scope 3 emissions reduction.
