(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](https://www.ga-institute.com/research/research/quick-reference-guides/strategic-approaches-to-scope-3-emissions-reduction/), G&A is available to answer questions and help put these strategies into action by contacting us at info@ga-institute.com. **ABOUT G&A INSTITUTE, INC.** G&A Institute is a leading sustainability consulting and research firm headquartered in New York City.
