Introducing the Latest Scope 3 Maturity Benchmark Report
Is Scope 3 still a business priority? You’d be forgiven for thinking it wasn’t, as a series of moves from goverment’s around the world have signalled a deprioritization on climate policy, but did businesses follow suit?
Data shows that the climate crisis continues to escalate, with over 80% of global greenhouse gas emissions originating from Scope 3 activities in the value chains of businesses. Tackling these emissions is crucial yet challenging for many organizations. This year’s Scope 3 Maturity Benchmark report considers where we are in the “hype cycle” of Scope 3 – which might just be coming out of a peak of inflated expectations, fuelled by an influx of regulation (now pending) and technology promises (now falling short).
Enthusiasm was replaced with realism at the size and scale of the challenge, so now, it feels slower, less front and centre. However, businesses are still acting, in smaller capacities, focusing on moving the dial bit by bit. The report focuses on the ‘how’; leveraging data from the Scope 3 Maturity Benchmark and Proxima’s Scope 3 Strategy Collective, to bring practical steps to turning ambition into action.

The Plumbing & The Wiring
A continual concern emerging from benchmark data, and again in 2025, is the absence of a foundational sustainable procurement strategy. While progress may be being made at an initiative level, at a functional level, many of the basics are not in place.
