Abstract

Der Klimawandel stellt eine der größten Herausforderungen für Unternehmen dar. Um Strategien für die Dekarbonisierung der eigenen Geschäftstätigkeiten festlegen zu können, ist die Berechnung von Treibhausgasemissionen notwendig. Insbesondere die Erfassung von Daten entlang der vor- und nachgelagerten Wertschöpfungskette (Scope 3) ist gegenwärtig ein komplexer, ressourcenintensiver und häufig ungenauer Prozess. Entsprechend wächst der Bedarf nach innovativen Lösungen, um das Scope 3-Carbon Accounting zu verbessern. Dieser Beitrag zeigt auf, wie digitale Technologien das Scope 3-Carbon Accounting unterstützen können.
