Scope 3 Emissions Workshop: From Measurement to Assurance

For many organisations, Scope 3 emissions represent the largest and most complex part of their carbon footprint. The challenge is rarely understanding why Scope 3 matters. The challenge is knowing where to start, how to collect reliable data, and how to build confidence in the information being reported.

Whether you're responding to customer requirements, preparing for sustainability reporting obligations, supporting net zero commitments or considering assurance, organisations are under increasing pressure to improve the quality and transparency of their emissions data.

This workshop brings together the combined expertise of SGS and thinkstep-anz to provide practical, real-world guidance on measuring, managing and assuring Scope 3 emissions.

Rather than focusing solely on theory, we will share the approaches, lessons learned and common challenges we've seen while working with organisations across a wide range of sectors. From manufacturing and food production to professional services, retail, infrastructure and construction, the principles remain the same: understand your value chain, focus on what matters most and build a robust foundation for credible reporting.

Participants will leave with a clearer understanding of their Scope 3 landscape, greater confidence in their data collection approach and practical steps to improve assurance readiness.

Join SGS and thinkstep-anz for a practical workshop series designed for organisations at different stages of their Scope 3 journey.
