Why Carbon Reporting Can’t Wait: What SMEs Need to Know Now

Why Carbon Reporting Can’t Wait: What SMEs Need to Know Now

On-Demand Webinar:

For many SMEs, the pressure to share emissions data is rising faster than ever. In our recent webinar, we tackled a challenge so many small and medium-sized businesses are facing: how to measure and report carbon emissions without a big team, budget, or background in sustainability.

Now available on demand, this session is essential viewing for any supplier who wants to stay competitive, credible, and ready to meet customer expectations.

Why Scope 3 matters

Emissions that come from a company’s value chain, known as Scope 3 emissions, often make up more than 70% of their total carbon footprint. That’s why large buying organisations are turning to their suppliers for emissions data, especially as regulations tighten and investor scrutiny increases.

If you’re not able to provide that data, you risk missing out on opportunities and falling behind in a market that’s rapidly moving toward transparency and sustainability best practices.

What we covered in the session

Led by sustainability and GHG expert Mike Tournier, the webinar offered actionable insights for SMEs, including:

  • What carbon accounting is and why it matters
  • Why buyers are asking for carbon data and what they’re really looking for
  • How SMEs can start reporting without needing consultants or in-house specialists
  • Common challenges like data gaps, Scope 3 complexity and limited resources and how to overcome them
  • A walkthrough of the Achilles Carbon Accounting solution, designed specifically to make carbon reporting easier, faster and more affordable for SMEs

Key takeaways

  • You’re not alone. Many SMEs are unsure how to start reporting and that’s exactly why solutions like Achilles Carbon Accounting exist.
  • Action is better than perfection. Even simple estimates and partial data can make a big difference to buyers trying to track their own footprint.
  • Carbon reporting is becoming a requirement, not a request. Getting started now puts you ahead of the curve.
  • Support is available. You don’t need to figure this out alone there’s a step-by-step path forward.
