November 12, 2025 /3BL/ – Governance & Accountability Institute, Inc. (G&A), a leading corporate sustainability consulting and research firm, today issued a new reference guide on “Strategic Approaches to Scope 3 Emissions.” Scope 3 emissions across the value chain are often the largest and most complex component of a company’s carbon footprint. The guide provides a concise overview of leading Scope 3 reduction strategies, including product design, supplier engagement, and emerging novel approaches.
“G&A recognizes that companies are facing increased pressure to reduce Scope 3 emissions to help address climate change,” said Louis Coppola, G&A’s Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder. “Whether your organization is beginning to map Scope 3 emissions or refining an existing reduction strategy, our guide provides valuable information to inform your decision-making.”
Since Scope 3 emissions occur across a company’s upstream and downstream value chain and mostly fall outside direct control, efforts to measure and manage these indirect emissions can be quite difficult. G&A’s new reference guide covers key topics including:
- Data Collection and Disclosure
- Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of Products/Services
- Contractual Requirements with Suppliers
- Third-Party Auditing
- Use of Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs) for Scope 3 Upstream Categories
- Modifications to Internal Operations
The full reference guide is available for download here, G&A is available to answer questions and help put these strategies into action by contacting us at info@ga-institute.com.
