Accounting for Scope 3 Category 1 Emissions: New Industry Guidance to Help Advance Decarbonization in Electronics
Scope 3 Category 1 emissions – those from purchased goods and services – often represent the largest and most complex share of emissions across the electronics value chain. Accurately measuring and managing these emissions is essential for companies working to meet climate goals, respond to regulatory pressures, and drive meaningful supply chain decarbonization.
To support this effort, the Global Electronics Association, in collaboration with the Responsible Business Alliance and industry partners, has developed new Scope 3 Category 1 Greenhouse Gas Guidance – a practical resource designed specifically for the electronics industry.
Join us for this webinar to explore how this guidance can help your organization move from ambition to implementation.
What You’ll Learn
In this session, we will introduce the guidance and walk through practical, industry-aligned approaches to:
- Improving Scope 3 Category 1 emissions accounting
- Moving from spend-based estimates to more accurate, supplier-specific data
- Addressing common data challenges across complex electronics supply chains
- Strengthening supplier engagement to support decarbonization efforts
- Aligning Scope 3 strategies with broader sustainability and reporting requirements
You’ll also hear real-world perspectives from electronics companies featured in the guidance, sharing lessons learned and actionable best practices for improving data quality and driving progress.
Why This Matters
As sustainability expectations accelerate – from customers, regulators, and investors – companies must be able to confidently measure and manage their Scope 3 emissions.
This guidance helps organizations:
- Translate Scope 3 requirements into actionable steps
- Improve consistency and credibility in emissions reporting
- Build stronger, more collaborative supplier relationships
- Identify opportunities for measurable emissions reductions
