What Is a Supplier Engagement Target?

Focusing on Scope 3 Emissions through Supplier Participation

A supplier engagement target is a specific type of Scope 3 emissions reduction target that focuses on getting your suppliers to set their own Science-Based Targets (SBTs). Rather than directly reducing your own emissions, you work with your suppliers to encourage them to set and meet reduction goals.

To align with SBTi criteria, these targets should cover at least 67% of your suppliers' emissions if Scope 3 emissions make up more than 40% of your total emissions.

Emitwise helps you track supplier engagement by monitoring supplier participation and the impact of their emissions reduction commitments.
