As global warming and climate change impact our planet, Capgemini is focusing on becoming part of the solution.

Capgemini is committed to choosing a path to net positive and are keen to co-innovate with their clients and partners in that journey.

Next-generation supply-chain management is imperative in addressing a business’s true impact on climate change.

Dr. Sally Uren was a keynote speaker along with Dr. James Robey, Global Head of Sustainability at Capgemini, and Sol Salinas, Global Executive Vice President at Capgemini during Climate Week NYC to explore how technology can provide transparency in complex supply chains. During this event, wealso discussed Web 3.0, including blockchains and smart contracts-enabling technology that can provide transparency and traceability of Scope 3 carbon tracking of products and services in complex supply chains.

This hybrid event featured speakers such as Evangeline Marzec, Kieren James-Lubin, Adam Schafer, Greg Urban, MBA, MSc, Mathew Yarger from Capgemini’s Applied Innovation Exchange’s ecosystem who are changing the game in supply chain management.

About project

We can all agree that there is a need to transform the way we act and that the time for deep transformation is ripe.

With the growing adverse effects of climate change, it is crucial that businesses reexamine the role that they can play not only through their operational emissions but also through their relationship with the external ecosystem.

Businesses are constantly looking at several pathways to create positive impact, including a strong focus on tackling Scope 3 emissions, alongside Scope 1 and 2. Transparency and accuracy surrounding Scope 3 emissions measurement are notoriously difficult to achieve, but a fundamental necessity if it is going to inform how to better focus resources to ensure the maximum positive impact.

Launched in September 2022, Forum for the Future and Capgemini’s
 Beyond Greenhouse Gases: Transforming project design through impact measurement project explores how businesses can unlock more transformative project design and decision making, through the lens of greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction. For the next two months, we will continue to publish a series of insights and podcasts on an ongoing basis exploring the world of carbon accounting, climate impacts, futures thinking, and project design.

Our report, Measuring Impact: A methodology to inform transformative project design lays out the thinking of both Forum for the Future and Capgemini on this important topic, bringing their experiences to life in both a proposed approach and with a range of practical real-life examples. It is not intended to be definitive, rather to provide greater guidance for measuring Scope 1, 2 and 3 impacts through the sharing of the greenhouse gas (GHG) Impact Methodology, to enable more accurate and meaningful measurement and prediction of a project’s GHG footprint.


Read our recently published report co-written with Capgemini to explore how businesses can adopt this methodology and go beyond calculating current emissions to inspire transformative project design and decision-making.
