Scope 3 emission reporting and the EU Data Act: removing barriers for primary data sharing along the supply chain

Scope 3 emissions across the supply chain typically account for the largest share of a company’s carbon footprint. The EU Data Act can remove barriers to primary data sharing required for Scope 3 emission reporting by unlocking primary emission data currently stored in industrial assets. Such primary data sharing would increase transparency and accountability, and would be a step towards mandatory, more effective reporting regulations.
