Combient Pure's Scope 3 Decarbonization Accelerator for Combient companies was an 8-month long program designed to bring together peers across companies and between different industries to tackle shared challenges in value chain decarbonization. Read below for more about how this program came to be, its contents, and the value it provided to Combient companies.
The need:
The Combient network companies are increasingly ambitious when it comes to value chain decarbonization: about 4/5 of the network’s industrial companies have set Scope 3 emission reduction goals. Despite ambitious climate targets, Combient Pure’s 2024 State of Value Chain Decarbonization study found that companies share many of the same challenges in reducing value chain emissions, and there is a need to activate and build capabilities in functions beyond sustainability in this work.
Our solution:
Based on the 2024 State of Value Chain Decarbonization study, Combient Pure identified key topics to build a peer-to-peer learning program supporting Scope 3 emission reduction work among Combient companies. The Scope 3 Decarbonization Accelerator was an 8-month long program designed to bring together peers across companies and between different industries to tackle shared challenges in value chain decarbonization.
Participating companies started with a light Scope 3 capabilities self-assessment to support the work. Running from October 2024 to May 2025, the Accelerator included four workshops, gathering different functions around Scope 3 regulation, data collection & management, actions for Scope 3 decarbonization, and building the business case for Scope 3 decarbonization. Two mini-sessions were focused on exploring steel use decarbonization and internal carbon pricing as key tools for driving Scope 3 emission reductions.
Main value points to the clients:
133 participants from 31 companies took part in the workshops, hearing from industry experts and leading companies’ case studies for tackling the common challenges in Scope 3 emission reduction work. The workshops provided valuable peer-to-peer discussions for sharing methods and tools to advance Scope 3 work as well as organize, communicate and motivate all functions to collaborate in this work.
