HONG KONG , July 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- GreenCo, as an experienced ESG consulting firm in Hong Kong and Singapore, has recently observed that many companies are facing challenges in quantifying and disclosing their Scope 3 greenhouse gas ("GHG") emissions - the indirect emissions that occur outside of a company's direct operations. With the global focus on climate action and environmental, social, and governance ("ESG") reporting obligations continues to intensify, especially for stock exchanges such as the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the Singapore Stock Exchange and the three stock exchanges in Mainland China, GreenCo sees the need for companies, especially listed companies to understand and manage their value chain emissions has become increasingly critical. In response, GreenCo has developed well-structured workflows and procedures that empower its clients to navigate the complexities of Scope 3 GHG emissions accounting.

The Challenges of Scope 3 Emissions Accounting

Accounting for Scope 3 emissions can be an immensely complex and resource-intensive undertaking, as companies will need to navigate a web of data availability issues, supplier engagement challenges, and difficulties in mapping their value chain.

Adding to this complexity, as requested by most well-recognised international frameworks, initiatives and reporting requirements, companies should account for their GHG emissions according to the GHG Protocol, which require organisations to consider 15 distinct emissions categories, from purchased goods and services all the way to employee commuting and investments. Properly addressing the minimum requirements of each identified category requires careful consideration and a comprehensive approach.

Without a clear and comprehensive understanding of their Scope 3 footprint, businesses face significant hurdles in setting meaningful emissions reduction targets and meeting the growing expectations of regulators, investors, and consumers.

Max Tsang, the Director of GreenCo, shared his observations, "Based on our experiences, we see many companies struggle to engage with their suppliers and external parties to obtain the necessary information, leading to data gaps and incomplete emissions profiles. Additionally, the lack of standardised methodologies and procedures also make it difficult for them to ensure the comparability of Scope 3 disclosures."

"The complexity of Scope 3 emissions accounting is a major barrier for many companies, but it's also a critical area of opportunity," explained Max, "By taking a strategic approach to mapping their value chain emissions, organisations can unlock valuable insights that inform their sustainability roadmap and explore competitive advantage."

The Benefits of Proactive Management

Dr. Charlie Yang, the Director and Head of GreenCo Singapore, emphasised the benefits of proactively managing Scope 3 emissions. "In Singapore's increasingly green-conscious business landscape, proactive Scope 3 emissions management is crucial. It demonstrates an organisation's commitment to environmental stewardship and positions them as a responsible corporate citizen," he explained.

Dr. Yang further noted that Scope 3 analysis can provide organisations with a deeper understanding of their value chain, potentially identifying opportunities to improve climate resilience and reduce exposure to risks. "With a more comprehensive GHG emissions inventory, including Scope 3, organisations can take a step forward to align with internationally recognised initiatives and industry best practices that investors prefer, such as setting science-based targets, and prepare to disclose more through platforms like Climate Disclosure Project (CDP)," he added.

Dr. Yang emphasised the importance of this proactive approach, stating, "In Singapore's drive towards a sustainable future, businesses that can demonstrate their commitment to managing Scope 3 emissions will be better positioned to thrive and contribute to the nation's climate goals. Acting proactively not only helps organisations enhance their preparedness for emerging regulations and align with investor and customer expectations, but it can also strengthen brand reputation and stakeholder trust through transparent disclosures."
