Advancing credible Scope 3 reporting in cocoa requires practical tools and aligned approaches. Quantis is contributing its expertise by speaking on cocoa GHG accounting in action, sharing early lessons from implementation and what comes next for companies and suppliers.
The meeting focuses on collective progress across the cocoa value chain, with a strong emphasis on greenhouse gas accounting, supplier data and comparability. Sessions explore how companies are applying new sector guidance in practice, where challenges persist and how stronger alignment across commodities can improve the quality and usability of Scope 3 data. For businesses, these discussions are critical to meeting reporting expectations, reducing risk and directing supplier engagement where it matters most.
Quantis is speaking in the breakout session Cocoa GHG Accounting in Action: Insights, Challenges, and the Road Ahead. Alexi Ernstoff, Senior Sustainability Scientist at Quantis, joins WCF member companies and cross-commodity experts to discuss early insights from using the Cocoa GHG Accounting Manual. The panel will address common questions from companies, share lessons learned and outline practical strategies to overcome remaining barriers in Scope 3 reporting.
