FOREWORD COLLABORATION KEY TO SCOPE 3 PROGRESS

AS SCOPE 3 CONTINUES TO CAUSE HEADACHES FOR SUPPLY CHAIN AND SUSTAINABILITY LEADERS , COLLABORATING EFFECTIVELY IS SURELY HALF THE BATTLE
How to tackle the Scope 3 challenge is perhaps the biggest question facing today ’ s supply chain teams from a sustainability perspective .

“ Scope 3 needs to be tackled in a collaborative way that leads to collective action ”

During a recent forum staged at Sustainability LIVE : Net Zero – a groundbreaking event hosted by our sister title , Sustainability Magazine – leaders divulged that Scope 3 was accounting for upwards of 90 % of their total emissions .
One must wonder , then , why the US ’ Securities and Exchange Commission ( SEC ) recently opted to shelve sweeping new rules which would have required businesses to disclose their Scope 3 emissions .
It ’ s a topic we explore in this month ’ s edition of Supply Chain Digital Magazine , alongside the state of the air cargo market and the increased importance of forecasting and planning amid turbulent times .
We also take a look at Singapore ’ s astonishing PSA Tuas Port , which has streamlined its supply chain by embracing automation and establishing an innovative command centre to oversee operations .
It ’ s a fantastic example of what can be achieved when people and technology unite and work together in perfect harmony .
