This study analyzes how companies engage their supply chain partners in climate mitigation using CDP supply chain survey data. Grounded in organizational information processing theory, it finds that firms prioritize accurate Scope 3 measure…

Vainiotalo, Annika

This thesis explores how a global industrial company's division can support suppliers in reducing their Scope 1 and 2 emissions. Using qualitative methods including expert interviews and thematic analysis, it develops a maturity-based suppo…

This study compares Scope 3 emissions measurement frameworks in global supply chains, focusing on the GHG Protocol and ISO 14064. Analyzing 156 manufacturing and retail organizations, it finds the GHG Protocol offers flexibility and categor…

Zaid Thanawala

Discusses how Life Cycle Assessment can improve Scope 3 emissions reporting by addressing data variability, boundary complexities, and lack of standardization. LCA helps identify emission hotspots, enhance transparency, and support strategi…

Young Jun Cho, Jungbae Kim, Holly Yang +1

This paper examines how Scope 3 emissions disclosure affects supply chain decarbonization. It empirically analyzes the link between corporate disclosure practices and emissions reduction efforts across the supply chain, with implications fo…

Sanjith Gopalakrishnan

This paper examines the rationale and mechanisms for allocating responsibility for greenhouse gas emissions across supply chains. It addresses how Scope 3 accounting and reporting practices, along with policy implications, should assign acc…

Gregor Radonjič, Saša Tompa

This paper examines carbon footprint calculation in telecommunications companies, emphasizing the importance and relevance of Scope 3 emissions. It discusses the complexities of measuring supply chain and customer-related emissions, arguing…
