There’ s also a revenue upside; products marketed with sustainability attributes see a 6-25 % revenue uplift compared to those that are not.
“ Cost savings are another driver, from reduced fuel, electricity and waste, leading to improved margins, especially across the value chain and in Scope 3 emissions,” David adds.
Sector-specific approaches to emissions Tailoring decarbonisation strategies to the realities of each sector is essential, as emissions sources and operational structures vary widely across industries. While some practices apply universally, PwC’ s analysis shows that sectorspecific nuances shape both the challenges and the opportunities for emissions reduction.
In food and beverage, for example, the bulk of emissions typically sits upstream in the supply chain – often at the farm level. As a result, effective strategies in this sector depend on engaging suppliers and promoting agricultural methods such as regenerative farming. By contrast, the automotive industry faces a different picture. Most emissions occur downstream, during the use phase of vehicles. This shifts the focus to enabling consumer adoption through supportive policy and overcoming concerns like range anxiety.
