The 100% Together Cooperative – Uniting for Scope 3 Emission Solutions
In the face of global environmental challenges, no single entity can drive change alone. The “100% Together Cooperative” embodies our collective commitment to sustainability, focusing on the collaborative reduction of Scope 3 emissions. This initiative is rooted in the understanding that addressing indirect emissions requires a united effort across all levels of the supply chain and beyond.
Understanding Scope 3 Emissions
Scope 3 emissions represent the indirect emissions linked to a company’s activities, including both upstream and downstream emissions. They are often the largest portion of a company’s carbon footprint, covering everything from the production of purchased goods to the end-use of sold products. Addressing these emissions is critical to achieving comprehensive carbon reduction goals and requires a collaborative approach that spans industries and borders.
The VCMI Perspective on Scope 3
The Voluntary Carbon Market Integrity (VCMI) initiative emphasizes the vital role of voluntary carbon markets in tackling Scope 3 emissions. It advocates for:
- Transparency: Clear reporting and verification of carbon credits to ensure they contribute to genuine emission reductions.
- Integrity: Ensuring that carbon credits represent real, additional, and permanent reductions in emissions.
- Collaboration: Encouraging companies to work together and with suppliers to identify and implement effective carbon reduction strategies.
The Need for High-Quality Environmental Credits
To steer our planet towards a more sustainable future, we must develop a global market for environmental credits that are both high in quality and integrity. These credits should:
- Support projects that deliver verifiable environmental benefits.
- Be backed by rigorous standards and certification processes.
- Contribute to sustainable development goals and positive community impacts.
Our Collective Action Through the 100% Together Cooperative
The “100% Together Cooperative” is our platform for collective action, aiming to:
