SPHERA SCOPE 3 WEBINAR SUMMER SERIES
Navigate the evolving landscape
of scope 3 emissions
Whether you’re just diving in or driving change – you’re invited
Sphera scope 3 Summer Series
Scope 3 is inherently challenging; there is no single, exact blueprint, and organizations must continually make decisions that balance feasibility, accuracy, compliance and scalability.
Across this three-part webinar series, Sphera’s experts will provide an actionable roadmap that helps advance your scope 3 strategy. You’ll learn how to go from preparing for your first scope 3 inventory – evaluating the materiality of categories, identifying data availability, and selecting appropriate emission factor sources and methodologies – to iteratively improving accuracy over time, resulting in an inventory that’s truly representative of your operations and can effectively inform decarbonization planning and meet reporting requirements.
The scope 3 Summer Series will cover:
- Establish a Scope 3 methodology that supports continuous improvement.
- Prioritize categories based on business relevance and risk.
- Apply the right emission factors for upstream purchases.
- Navigate downstream challenges like transport, use, and end-of-life.
- Align with GHG Protocol, sector-specific requirements, and key regulations.
Navigating the glide path to scope 3 spend-based reporting and related considerations
For teams just getting started with scope 3 reporting
On-demand
In part I, we explored how to calculate an initial scope 3 emissions inventory, limitations and opportunities of economic input output data, and illustrate how software platforms can automate data collection, calculations, and reporting.
Learn practical strategies for data organization, selecting appropriate emissions factors, and describe Sphera’s glide path to more detailed and action-oriented measurements enabling continuous improvement.
Learn how to lay a solid foundation enabling you to optimize your scope 3 strategy.
Who is this session for:
- Organizations looking to voluntary disclose scope 3
- Organizations requiring a scope 3 assessment
- Large organization based in North America that do not have significant operations in Europe/internationally

Utilizing mass-based data to identify hotspots and opportunities in your scope 3 reporting
For teams looking to improve their scope 3 reporting using mass-based emission factors
July 30th | 9am CDT | 4pm CEST
In part II we’ll delve into augmenting your inventory with granular, mass-based emissions factors, for your purchased goods and services, to identify hot spots at a precise product / material level. This crucial transition not only removes significant uncertainty from your corporate carbon footprint, but by understanding hotspots at a product / material level, enables you to understand decarbonization opportunities through alternate design / sourcing decisions.
We’ll also cover best practices for quantifying complex categories—like transport, waste, and product use—where spend-based data falls short, emphasizing the need for activity-based data to improve accuracy, especially for manufacturers, retailers, and logistics providers.
Join us to gain actionable insights into refining your scope 3 inventory and driving targeted reduction strategies.
Who this session is for:
- Organizations trying to identify scope 3 emissions hotspots which can be reduced by their product design and sourcing decisions
- Organizations seeking to calculate downstream categories, such as waste, transportation and use of sold products, with greater accuracy and insight
- Organizations reporting to SBTi who need an accurate inventory

Leveraging supplier-specific product carbon footprint (PCF) data for enhanced scope 3 reporting
For teams who need support engaging their suppliers
August 27th | 9am CDT | 4pm CEST
The final webinar in our Scope 3 Summer Series focuses on enriching your GHG inventory through accurate and actionable supplier PCF data. This session will explore the importance of a targeted approach, the importance of complete cradle-to-gate GHG data, how to integrate this into your inventory and how that can be leveraged as part of your decarbonization plan. We’ll discuss best practices for data validation, supplier collaboration, and leveraging software platforms to manage and report PCF data effectively.
Learn how to enhance the accuracy of your scope 3 reporting through this data source, drive meaningful decarbonization strategies through supplier engagement, and unlock the potential for collaborative emissions reduction initiatives.
Join us to elevate your scope 3 strategy to the next level and demonstrate your commitment to continuous improvement.
Who this session is for:
- Organizations looking to mature their existing scope 3 program
- Organizations who want to scale their supplier data collection process
- Organizations looking to understand how to leverage their suppliers as part of the decarbonization strategy
