Show Notes
There’s a growing number of people in the corporate sustainability space that believe universal primary data (ie data gathered from every supplier) is the best way to accurately understand your emissions. After a few debates we wanted to unpack why we don't think this is the case. In this episode, we cover:

- What primary and secondary data is
- Why we believe the "hybrid approach" is most effective
- How to implement a hybrid approach at scale
