The impact the Scope 3 Peer Group's Top 100 Peers are having
Congratulations to everyone named in the Scope 3 Peer Group's Top 100. This is what DitchCarbon data shows about the organisations where they work: how they compare with their industries, the Scope 3 targets in place, where purchased goods and services emissions are falling fastest and what is being done.

What we looked at
Each organisation's DitchCarbon score against its industry, the Scope 3 categories it reports, its Scope 3 targets, the change in its purchased goods and services emissions (Scope 3 Category 1) in absolute terms and per dollar of revenue, and the actions it discloses on purchased goods and services.
Where the data comes from
Every figure traces to a document the organisation has published: annual and sustainability reports, CDP responses, SBTi records and product carbon footprints. Each source is linked on the organisation's public DitchCarbon profile.
