Scope 3 & Value Chain Disclosure for Indian Companies

Master the complexities of Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions measurement, reporting, and disclosure for Indian companies. This course covers all 15 GHG Protocol Scope 3 categories, SEBI's emerging BRSR Core value chain requirements for FY 2026-27, practical data collection methodologies for Indian supply chains, and estimation techniques when primary data is unavailable. Designed for sustainability professionals, GHG accountants, and ESG reporting teams at Indian listed companies, the course addresses the unique challenges of Scope 3 accounting in India — including informal sector suppliers, limited supplier engagement capacity, and the transition from voluntary to mandatory value chain disclosure. Upon completion, you will be equipped to design a Scope 3 inventory programme, select appropriate estimation methodologies, engage suppliers for primary data, and prepare compliant disclosures under BRSR, GRI 305, and the GHG Protocol Corporate Value Chain Standard.
