As global regulation tightens and sustainability efforts deepen, ESG has evolved from a compliance option into a core competency for rebuilding competitive advantage and unlocking new business growth. In ESG assessments in particular, Scope 3 emissions — spanning upstream and downstream value chains — account for 70% to 90% of a company's total carbon footprint, making them the hardest nut to crack on the road to net zero.

This hard decarbonization requirement is cascading from “chain owner” companies across entire supply chains, forcing an accelerated restructuring of green supply chains and the circular economy. From recycled material applications to closed-loop recycling, ESG is generating enormous demand for green procurement and technology upgrades.
