The biggest mistake in corporate sustainability #greenbusiness #tips
In this concise instructional video, Will Richardson identifies the most common error companies make in sustainability strategies and offers three concrete actions to avoid it. He first urges firms to eliminate Scope 2 emissions entirely by switching to genuine renewable energy contracts, arguing this is the simplest and most impactful change. Next, he stresses the need to actively engage suppliers responsible for the majority of Scope 3 emissions—those accounting for 67% or more—by requiring them to develop concrete reduction plans rather than merely completing questionnaires. Finally, he recommends embedding emission data directly into procurement processes so that purchasing decisions are driven by carbon performance. The overall message is that decisive, data‑driven steps can dramatically shrink a corporate carbon footprint.
