Procurement as the Decarbonisation Lever Investors Are Missing
In this latest blog, Mamta Rawat explores why Scope 3 decarbonization remains one of the weakest links in corporate climate strategies, despite accounting for nearly 75% of total emissions on average. While green procurement policies increased from 49% to 66% between 2023 and 2024, fewer than 5% of companies require environmental certifications from contractors highlighting a major gap between policy commitments and supplier-level implementation. The article also examines how sectors such as Energy and IT are showing stronger procurement maturity, while challenges around fragmented supplier networks and data reliability continue to slow progress. For investors, procurement capability is increasingly becoming a key indicator of transition credibility and long-term climate resilience.
Double Materiality: Why Financial Materiality Alone Misses Long-Term Risk
Bhakti Bhave examines how double materiality expands sustainability analysis by looking beyond financial risk alone. The framework evaluates both how sustainability issues affect a company and how the company impacts people, society, and the environment.
The blog compares the CSRD’s broader disclosure requirements with the ISSB’s single-materiality approach and explains how Inrate’s ESG Impact Rating operationalises double materiality through activity-level impact assessment, CSR management evaluation, and real-time controversy screening. The result is a more forward-looking approach to identifying risks that develop gradually and materialize over the long term.
