Scope 1, 2 and 3 Emissions

Controlling Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions have emerged as a critical sustainability and compliance need of an organization aiming at minimizing its carbon footprints and developing better climate responsibility. The well-designed emissions management framework does not only assist organizations in fulfilling the expectations of regulations and investors, but also enhances the effectiveness of operations, mitigation of risks, and sustainability over the long-term performance.

Scope 1 Emissions Identification and Assessment

Our group aids organizations to determine the indirect emissions produced by the purchased electricity, heat, and energy sources. We assist in the development of sound measurement systems and suggest energy efficiency options to gradually decreasing emissions effects and operational reliance on high-carbon energy.

Scope 3 Emissions Mapping and Value Chain Evaluation

Our mapping of Scope 3 emissions within the entire value chain helps organizations to handle the most complicated category of emissions. This involves both upstream and downstream operations procurement, logistics, product use, waste production, business travel and supplier emissions, and has a full coverage of climate impacts.

Data Collection Framework and Emission Calculation Methodologies

We assist organizations to come up with well-structured data capture, verification, and calculation systems that are in tandem with global standards. Our strategy makes us consistent, transparent and accurate in the domain of emission reporting in a manner that will facilitate credible sustainability reporting and compliance preparedness.

Target Setting, Reduction Strategies and Roadmap Development

We assist companies to establish achievable emission reduction goals, come up with de-carbonization plans, and long-term sustainability road maps. This will involve setting interim milestones, monitoring systems, and operational pathways that can be enacted to go towards net-zero and climate-resilient operations.

FAQ

What is Scope 1 emissions?

Scope 1 emissions are direct Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions that come from sources owned or controlled by a company, like burning natural gas in boilers, fuel in company vehicles, or fugitive emissions from leaks.

What is Scope 2 emissions?

Scope 2 emissions are indirect GHG emissions from the generation of purchased or acquired electricity, steam, heating, or cooling consumed by the reporting company. They are not produced on-site but are a result of the company's energy use.

What is Scope 3 emissions?

Scope 3 emissions are all other indirect emissions that occur in a company's value chain, both upstream and downstream. These are typically the largest portion and include sources like business travel, purchased goods, and end-of-life treatment of sold products.

Why is reporting Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions important?

Reporting provides a complete picture of a firm's carbon footprint, encompassing all operations and the value chain. It builds transparency and trust with stakeholders, aids in regulatory compliance, and meets investor expectations for Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices.

Which reporting standard is used for Scope 1, 2, and 3?

The globally recognized standard for measuring and reporting corporate greenhouse gas emissions, including Scope 1, 2, and 3, is the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol).

Which Scope typically accounts for the largest emissions?

Scope 3 emissions generally account for the largest portion of a company's total carbon footprint, as they cover the entire value chain, including suppliers' and customers' emissions.

How do Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions differ?

Scope 1 are direct emissions from sources a company owns or controls (for example, company vehicles), while Scope 2 are indirect emissions from purchased energy such as electricity from a utility.

What is the main goal of Scope 1, 2, and 3 reporting for businesses?

The main goal is to accurately measure, manage, and reduce a company's total carbon footprint. This informs decarbonization strategies, supports sustainability objectives, and drives long-term value creation.

What makes Scope 3 emissions difficult to measure?

Scope 3 emissions are difficult because they involve gathering data from external third parties such as suppliers and customers across the entire value chain, making data collection and standardization complex.

How does Scope 1, 2, and 3 reporting align with ESG objectives?

Accurate and transparent Scope 1, 2, and 3 reporting is a core component of the Environmental pillar of ESG. It demonstrates accountability and commitment to sustainability to investors and regulators.

What is an example of a Scope 1 emission?

An example of a Scope 1 emission is the combustion of natural gas in a company-owned boiler to heat an office building or the gasoline burned by a firm’s fleet of delivery trucks.
