The Value Change Initiative (VCI) is a multi-stakeholder forum designed to make net-zero value chains possible by 2050. It brings together companies, civil society, and leading climate frameworks to co-create and share best practice for accounting and reporting value chain (Scope 3) emission reductions and removals.
Through working groups, labs, and collaborative pilots, VCI helps members overcome barriers, test practical solutions, and develop consensus guidance that is widely referenced across industries.
VCI’s work is organized into collaborative spaces where members test solutions and co-develop guidance:
These initiatives ensure that companies not only measure Scope 3 emissions, but also reduce them in ways that are scalable, verifiable, and aligned with global standards.
