Infosys Ltd.

Infosys and Economist Impact, an arm of The Economist Group that works with organisations globally to further their missions, have launched the Value Chain Navigator (VCN) to help businesses understand and address their scope 3 emissions.

Scope 3 includes all indirect emissions that occur in the upstream and downstream activities of an organisation’s value chain. These can include emissions from purchased goods and services, business travel, employee commuting, waste disposal, use of sold products, transportation, distribution, investments and leased assets and franchises. Up to 95% of a business's carbon footprint consists of scope 3 emissions, but only a quarter of businesses account for them in their net zero plans.

The VCN is an open digital platform that helps businesses understand the complex nature of their scope 3 emissions through interactive tracking, tools and tailored recommendations. The tool will be featured on The Sustainability Project, the award-winning content and community platform created by Economist Impact and built by Infosys as digital innovation partner, to advance sustainable solutions and drive world changing impact through a new business-to-business model.

Infosys is a global leader in next-generation digital services and consulting.
