Empowering Climate Action Through Scope 3 Data Transparency: Partnership with T-Systems
Find in the following an overview into the Case Study sharing insights of the partnership between T-Systems and The Climate Choice - published on TheClimateDrive from World Business Council for Sustainable Development here, following the mission to make trusted decarbonization resources for businesses accessible in order to accelerate climate action in line with the latest best practices.
Making Scope 3 Action Your Business
In today's global economy, addressing climate change requires collaborative efforts across industries and along global supply chains. Yet, achieving meaningful progress can be hindered by limited visibility and hence missing traceability of emissions from the supply chain – known as Scope 3 emissions. T-Systems, a key player in the telecommunications sector, recognized this challenge and took proactive steps to drive change. In partnership with The Climate Choice, T-Systems embarked on a journey to enable Scope 3 data transparency, paving the way for targeted supplier engagement and emissions reduction strategies.
Tackling the Scope 3 Challenge Head-On
With a vast network of over 500 partners and suppliers, T-Systems faces the task of managing Scope 3 emissions effectively. Limited visibility and influence over supplier climate performance posed a significant obstacle to decarbonization efforts. Recognizing the importance of comprehensive emissions management, T-Systems sought a strategic solution.
