Procurement leaders feel ‘best guess’ Scope 3 reporting puts them at risk of unintentional greenwashing

More than half of procurement leaders fear they could be greenwashing “unintentionally” due to a lack of confidence in Scope 3 reporting, which most consider a “best guess” exercise.
Scope 3 emissions reporting is becoming mandatory in many jurisdictions: the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) mandates it for large companies starting this year, and California’s new climate reporting rule expected to come into force in 2026.
