SBTi v2 for retailers

SBTi v2 for retailers

Retailers carry large Scope 3 footprints across own brand and branded goods, with most emissions sitting in the upstream supply chain.

Why your sector is affected

Category A retailers should expect heightened expectations on supplier specific data and assurance ready evidence.

Likely Scope 3 hotspots

  • Purchased goods and services across all product categories.
  • Upstream and downstream transportation.
  • Use of sold products for energy using and consumable items.

Supplier evidence to prepare

  • Own brand supplier specific emissions for top selling lines.
  • Branded supplier climate disclosures and target status.
  • Source linked numbers ready for category buyer review.

Procurement actions that move the needle

  • Embed climate criteria into supplier selection across major categories.
  • Make supplier climate profiles visible to buyers at the decision point.
  • Prioritise own brand reformulation where embedded emissions are highest.
