So, what's driving this number so high? It's scope 3 emissions – also known as indirect emissions, which are often hidden inside complex value chains. In this podcast episode, we chat to Cate Harris, Global Head of Sustainability at Lendlease and Enrico Zara, Global Decarbonisation Leader at Arup on how bold action is helping the property industry uncover, track, measure and report on scope 3 emissions.
