How many companies actually have Scope 3 targets? It depends on size. Among S&P 500 firms, 78% now disclose Scope 3 emissions (Conference Board, April 2025). But across the broader Russell 3000, that drops to just 35%. And Deloitte’s 2024 research found only 15% of companies report on Scope 3 at all – despite these emissions representing up to 95% of a company’s total footprint. The gap between the largest firms and everyone else remains stark.
Many companies have set Scope 3 targets. Far fewer are on track to meet them. In 2024, the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) delisted over 200 companies – including household names – for failing to deliver on climate commitments. The main barrier? Over half cited Scope 3 as simply too complex to tackle.
Join Anna Grabska, Sustainability & Process Lead at Kongsberg Maritime and Martta Tenhu, Solution Consultant at IntegrityNext. They share a practical session on building supplier-led Scope 3 progress – including how Kongsberg Maritime is layering primary data collection onto their existing spend-based foundation using IntegrityNext’s Carbon Emissions module.
Kongsberg Maritime, a global technology group operating across maritime, defense, and aerospace, had their science-based targets validated by SBTi in December 2023. Their target: 67% of suppliers by spend with their own science-based targets by 2027. But targets are just the starting point – the real work is engaging thousands of suppliers across business areas and geographies, building internal processes, and improving data quality step by step.
Today, Kongsberg Maritime manages supplier sustainability follow-up through IntegrityNext, with phased KPIs, quarterly climate reporting introduced in 2024, and data collection embedded into procurement evaluation workflows. And – this is just the beginning.
