Managing scope 3 emissions from transportation is challenging since transport chains are often complex, global, multimodal, and involve numerous stakeholders. The role of transport within total scope 3 emissions can differ widely depending on the value chain and transport chain characteristics of a focal company. Scope 3 emission reductions make emission approaches less straightforward than controlling a company’s own emissions.
This CCR Insights report seeks to understand on the current efforts of cargo owners as transport customers in navigating scope 3 emission reductions. The report is based on a nationally representative sample of 300 Finnish cargo owners and analyzes supply chain emission reductions from their perspective: decarbonization drivers, the precision level of the target setting for overall scope 3 emissions, specific targets for transportation, insights into the role of sustainability in the broader competitive advantage context and expected leverages of transportation modes.
