Working Groups

Innovation North is a community of researchers at Ivey Business School that partners with business leaders to tackle complex challenges. Following the success of Innovation North’s 5-year Lab, we are launching a new initiative called Working Groups.

Working Groups will involve a small group of organizations working collaboratively to tackle a complex challenge that they are facing.

The first Working Group, launching mid-2025, will tackle Scope 3 emissions. Many organizations have started to make progress on Scope 1 and 2 emissions, but find progress on Scope 3 emissions more challenging, as these are difficult to identify, measure, and reduce. Yet, Scope 3 emissions often represent the highest proportion of an organization’s total emissions and require collaboration across the value chain to tackle.

Enrolment for the Scope 3 Working Group is open until March 2025. Innovation North welcomes organizations who are committed to reducing their Scope 3 emissions to join.
