Companies with agricultural supply chains are under pressure to reduce Scope 3 emissions while managing increasing climate and nature-related risks in their sourcing regions. At the same time, some of the most effective interventions—such as protecting and restoring forests, peatlands and watersheds around production areas—sit in a grey zone. They are critical for long-term resilience, but difficult to account for or not incentivised under current Scope 3 frameworks.
This creates a fundamental tension: companies are expected to decarbonise, but the actions that most effectively and efficiently reduce risk and global carbon emissions are not always those that can be clearly counted or prioritised.
This session brings together technical expertise and corporate experience to unpack this gap and explore what companies can do within their supply chains today in a way that is credible, defensible and delivers impact for both resilience and emission targets. It draws in part on practical experience from collective landscape initiatives such as the Rimba Collective, where long-term committed companies are already navigating these challenges in palm-oil sourcing landscapes.
