Trucost is pleased to announce that it will be chairing the 'Best Practice Methodologies for Scope 3 Carbon Accounting in the Supply Chain' conference on 20th and 21st July at the Radisson SAS Portman Hotel, London.

Through a series of practically focused case studies, the event offers an important opportunity to hear how companies are leading the way in calculating their Scope 3 (supply chain) carbon emissions.

John Martin, Managing Director of Trucost's supply chain division said, "Measuring and reducing your supply chain carbon impacts offers significant opportunities to cut costs and streamline your operations. It also provides an important opportunity to develop closer relationships with suppliers in helping them reduce their own impacts - and mimimise the financial risk of suppliers passing on costs from forthcoming 'polluter pays' climate change regulation."

Trucost helps companies measure and reduce their carbon and wider environmental impacts - across their own operations and their supply chains - making their business more profitable, more efficient, more customer focused and more competitive.
