Co-founded by SustainCERT and Gold Standard, the Value Change Initiative is a multi-stakeholder forum bringing together some of the world’s largest companies, leading civil society actors, and internationally recognized climate frameworks to collectively focus on defining best practices for Scope 3 emission reductions and removals at scale.
It is a forum for practitioners that identifies barriers to scaling value chain action, proposes and tests practical solutions, and publishes guidance on the consensus generated.
WHY JOIN THE VALUE CHANGE INITIATIVE
No company can solve Scope 3 on its own. The Value Change Initiative provides a forum to share challenges, learn from peers, and collectively define guidance and innovative solutions to meet Net-Zero Targets.
- Deliver on your climate commitments and Net-Zero targets
- Build capacity and deepen your understanding of how to address Scope 3
- Share experiences from the field and learn from peer organizations
- Be at the forefront of corporate climate action and help define best practice
- Set and achieve ambitious targets.
Through our collaboration with SustainCERT, we have successfully developed new solutions that rigorously and feasibly account for Scope 3 agricultural emissions, and continue to work together to test new ideas and approaches. Moreover, we have made it a priority to disseminate these solutions widely, enabling progress across the entire industry.
