We are thrilled to announce the launch of the Direct-Use Product Emissions Database (DPED), a new tool to help retailers and their suppliers quantify emissions stemming from consumers’ use of their products.

Developed in partnership with the Retail Industry Leaders Association (RILA), DPED has been a true group effort, with input coming from retailers like Target, Lowe's Companies, Inc., Best Buy, and many others, plus an ex officio committee that included industry and regulatory leaders.

The database contains emissions data for over 180 product types, and is designed to fill the gap in consistent scope 3, category 11 data. It is available at no cost to retailers in its inaugural year.

Is your sustainability program ready to move past reporting and start making decarbonization progress? Here's our playbook for reducing scope 1 emissions: https://lnkd.in/gXVMGR-F

The evidence continues to mount that ESG programs are no longer a nice-to-have; it’s an essential value driver for businesses of all sizes and industries. In a recent survey, Deloitte found that over 70% of companies have abandoned an acquisition over ESG concerns. 

Mature ESG programs are a clear market signal of a well-run company. This survey found that over 80% of respondents would pay a premium for strong ESG practices. This is another clear example of how markets assign real value to these efforts.

Climate risk is business risk, and markets value resilience and foresight.

That's a wrap on Optera Team Week 2024 🎉

Our hybrid/remote team gathers in person just once a year to celebrate, strategize, connect, and renew our energy to tackle climate change with each other's support.

From prototyping and brainstorming to horseback riding, crafts, biking, hiking, video games, archery, you name it...this year's Team Week was a fantastic time!

Ready to transition away from the spend-based method of calculating scope 3 emissions?

Join our workshop for a playbook on using supplier-specific data instead. We'll provide a worksheet with calculation templates and share the most effective methods for gathering data from your suppliers. 

Sign up to join us live or get the recording afterward: https://lnkd.in/g_-Ncjc2
