Scope 3 Emissions Explained: Practical guide to measure, manage, and simplify CSRD reporting

Scope 3 emissions typically represent 80-95% of a company’s climate impact and land use change (LUC) is one of its biggest, hardest-to-measure components. They are often measured in silos: one dataset for emissions reporting, another for EUDR due diligence, and yet another for voluntary frameworks. This fragmented approach increases costs, creates inconsistencies, and leaves organisations exposed to compliance and reputational risk.

This whitepaper explores why integrating your data processes, using one trusted, independently validated dataset, is the future of sustainability reporting. With a unified approach, companies can simplify CSRD reporting requirements, meet the CSRD Directive’s timeline with confidence, and ensure their Scope 3 and land use change (LUC) data are consistent across all frameworks, from SBTi FLAG to EUDR.

 

What's inside

  • Discover why land use change is the biggest driver of  Scope 3 emissions  and learn how targeted monitoring and actionable insights empower your business to identify hotspots and, support sustainable sourcing.

  • Understand how fragmented Scope 3 reporting creates blind spots for compliance, and exposes your organization to regulatory and reputational risk.

  • Explore the tangible benefits of aligning Scope 3, EUDR, and other climate frameworks through a single, auditable platform. 

  • Dive into a real-world case study: See how Lindt achieves compliance while safeguarding forests by combining Satelligence’s geospatial deforestation alerts with supplier-level Scope 3 emissions reporting.
