Price Swings Skew Spend-Based Purchase Emissions Estimates
Sustainability reporting specialists are highlighting a flaw in spend-based emissions accounting, the common method of estimating a company's supply chain emissions from purchase costs. When prices swing, spending changes without any real change in activity or emissions, so reported purchase emissions figures shift misleadingly. The concern matters for companies using this approach for Scope 3 reporting.
Why now: Volatile prices make spend-based carbon accounting unreliable, prompting discussion about the accuracy of corporate Scope 3 emissions estimates.
