The paper is available [**here**](https://ga-institute.com/research/resource-paper/engaging-the-value-chain-for-scope-3-decarbonization/). "Sustainability and procurement leaders are looking for more effective supplier engagement strategies to achieve meaningful reductions upstream and downstream," said Louis Coppola, CEO & Co-Founder of G&A Institute. "Scope 3 is historically a very challenging area for decarbonization, because of the size and complexity of most value chains. No single company can reduce Scope 3 emissions alone, and this has been a roadblock for many companies. Our experience has shown that the most needle-moving efforts are born from strategic collaboration – more companies should be investing to align with the principles we outline, for both optimization and resilience.” G&A's resource paper details four principles to driving change through value chain engagement: - **Building capacity** internally and for suppliers - **Building alliances** to tackle shared challenges - **Building incentives** to support behavior change - **Building solutions** through large-scale collaboration "Scope 3 emissions represent the greatest opportunity for corporate decarbonization," Coppola added. "G&A is available to help companies implement strategies that will build more resilient supply chains, stronger customer relationships, and competitive advantages in an increasingly carbon-conscious market.” G&A also released articles with expanded discussion of each principle: - [**Engaging the Value Chain for Decarbonization: Building Alliances**](https://ga-institute.com/Sustainability-Update/engaging-the-value-chain-for-decarbonization-building-alliances/) - [**Engaging the Value Chain for Decarbonization: Building Incentives**](https://ga-institute.com/Sustainability-Update/engaging-the-value-chain-for-decarbonization-building-incentives/) - [**Engaging the Value Chain for Decarbonization: Building Solutions**](https://ga-institute.com/Sustainability-Update/engaging-the-value-chain-for-decarbonization-building-solutions/) **About G&A Institute, Inc.** Founded in 2006, Governance & Accountability Institute (G&A) is a New York–based sustainability consulting and research firm with deep advisory experience supporting corporate leaders and investors in integrating sustainability into governance, risk, enterprise performance, and evolving regulatory and stakeholder expectations.
