ESG Today: Interview with Matthieu Maurin, CEO of Iceberg Data Lab
Corporate efforts to tackle climate change remain insufficient, particularly regarding Scope 3 emissions, which account for over 85% of carbon emissions in key industries like transport and food. These emissions, tied to supply chains and product impacts, are rarely disclosed due to data complexity, lack of mandatory reporting, and fears of reputational damage.
Without comprehensive global standards, companies and governments fail to address Scope 3 emissions effectively, as seen in the weakened U.S. SEC proposals. Accurate data modelling and AI tools are vital for measuring and mitigating emissions, enabling financial institutions to shift investments toward sustainable industries.
A collective effort involving governments, businesses, and consumers is crucial to establish transparency and accountability. Only by prioritizing Scope 3 emissions reporting can we accelerate the green transition and build a more sustainable future.
