For many companies, upstream and downstream emissions (Scope 3) account for more than 75 per cent of total emissions. And this is where value chainprojects come in: embedded in your value chain, both up- and downstream. These could take the form of regenerative agriculture, agroforestry, more efficient logistics or process optimisation, for example. Initiatives such as the SBTi emphasise the point that it is essential to address issues in the value chain in order to realistically reach net zero targets. 

Value chain projects are also of great strategic importance: they reduce emissions, improve the resilience of global supply chains, increase competitiveness and help meet growing regulatory requirements (e.g. SBTi, CSRD), as well as customer demands.  

It is important to note that, unlike other myclimate projects, this does not result in tradable CO₂ certificates. The climate impact is attributed exclusively to the investing company and can thus be mentioned in its annual report.
