  • Figure 4: SPs divide their carbon emissions into scope 1, 2 and 3 – scope 3 is by far the most significant
  • Figure 5: As SPs succeed in reducing their scope 1 and 2 emissions, scope 3 becomes the major focus
  • Figure 6: Some of the leading SPs have significantly reduced carbon emissions over the last 5 years – but they are not yet close to net-zero
  • Figure 7: Data capture and the circular economy were identified as key challenges
  • Figure 8: The largest SPs globally have all committed to net-zero carbon emissions – but will deliver in different timeframes
