The Carbon You Can't See: Understanding Scope 3 Emissions in the Lab

Video  
Laura Hemmingham, PhD
 speaking with 
James Swinyard


Laboratory supply chains can account for a substantial share of life science organizations’ carbon footprints, yet these emissions remain difficult to measure and influence. Complex global supply chains, limited supplier data, and inconsistent methodologies complicate Scope 3 reporting. Understanding where emissions are concentrated is essential for setting credible baselines and identifying practical opportunities to reduce environmental impact.

In this episode of Teach Me in 10, James Swinyard, Senior Director of Investments and Partnerships at My Green Lab, explores how scientists, procurement teams, and operations leaders can work together to address Scope 3 emissions and embed sustainability into everyday decisions.


Watch this episode to discover: 

  • How laboratory purchasing decisions influence Scope 3 emissions 
  • What makes supplier emissions data credible and actionable 
  • How cross-functional teams can build practical sustainability strategies
