Sustainability Strategy Forum: How to improve the quality of Scope 3 data
1pm – 2.30pm23 July 2024
Online
Participate in the next Sustainability Strategy Forum on 23 July 2024, where we will explore ways for techUK members to improve the quality of their Scope 3 data.
Scope 3 emissions, which encompass all indirect emissions from a company's value chain, often represent the largest portion of a company's carbon footprint. Accurate and comprehensive Scope 3 data enables companies to identify key areas for emissions reduction, improve supply chain sustainability, and enhance overall environmental performance. With the UK government likely to endorse the ISSB framework in 2025, companies will face increased scrutiny and mandatory reporting requirements for their sustainability practices. High quality Scope 3 data will not only ensure compliance with these new regulations but also build trust with stakeholders, including investors, customers, and regulators, by demonstrating a company's commitment to transparency and sustainability.
The Sustainability Strategy Forum aims to inspire solutions and best practices for a more sustainable digital future. It operates under the Chatham House rule, fostering an environment where companies can openly share success stories, address pain points, and provide constructive feedback. Open to all techUK members, the Forum invites those who are committed to both giving and receiving insights.
Join us on 23 July to discover valuable perspectives from trailblazers in this field such as Accenture, Pulsant, Ericsson, Tata Consultancy Services and more.

The Local Public Services team at techUK was delighted to host this Local Government Innovation Roundtable where we looked at how we can use data in a more effective manner to be able to improve Net Zero decision-making within Local Government.
The Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) introduces a reporting obligation for data centre operators in the EU. The reporting scheme may be the first step towards the introduction of further measures to improve the sustainable development of the data centre industry, such as minimum performance standards or a labelling scheme.
