Case Study: University of Warwick calculates scope 3 carbon footprint with Action Sustainability

University of Warwick Optimises Sustainability Efforts with Scope 3 Carbon Calculator

The University of Warwick sought to understand its scope 3 carbon emissions to support its goal of achieving net zero by 2050. Action Sustainability was engaged to help calculate these indirect supply chain impacts.

Action Sustainability analyzed the university's spend data to calculate its full scope 3 carbon footprint, identifying that it constituted three-quarters of their overall carbon impact. The analysis pinpointed construction as the largest hotspot. This provided the procurement team with clear data to develop risk-based approaches for reducing embedded carbon in their supply chain.
