#CTS2024: Making Scope 3 Action our Business

⏰​ The countdown is ticking! Climate Transformation Summit 2024 (#CTS2024) is just around the corner, set to take place for the first time in person on September 12th in Impact Hub Berlin. The Climate Community event brings together 100 corporate decision makers, sustainability experts and procurement leaders, all focused on “Making Scope 3 Action our Business!”.

As international regulation, market requirements and customers urgently call for emission reductions within global supply chains, #CTS2024 offers you an unique opportunity to gain actionable insights and best practices from the Climate Community. Join us, mingle with peers and meet expert speakers from across industries – among others from Carl Zeiss SMT, Robert Bosch, Henkel, ÖBB, Yanfeng, Bayer and more!

Why Focus on Scope 3 Action?

First things first. Scope 3 emissions, originating from the entire value chain of a company, often constitute the lion’s share of its total carbon footprint—up to 90% in many cases. Despite their significance, reducing these emissions remains a daunting task due to a lack of comprehensive data and effective collaboration with partners along the supply chain.

Initiatives like the UN Race to Zero, Science Based Targets Initiative, and Carbon Disclosure Project highlight the increasing need for data-driven approaches to decarbonize Scope 3 emissions and make action-driven climate decisions. However, according to the SBTi (2023), so far only 6% of companies with scientific climate targets use specific supplier data to achieve them. This is where #CTS2024 comes in, providing a platform for sharing knowledge and strategies to drive effective climate action along the entire supply chain.

Workshop Highlights: Your Practical Deep Dives for Real Impact

The summit’s workshops, held in two slots during the Summit Day on September 12th, are at the heart of the summit. They are designed to offer you hands-on training, peer knowledge sharing, and practical support from experts in various fields.
