Scope 1, 2 & 3 calculations

Understanding your organisation’s carbon footprint is essential. Calculating your direct and indirect Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions provides insight into the footprint of your organisation and its value chain. A good understanding of your emissions enables the development of effective reduction plans and targets in accordance with the Science Based Target initiative (SBTi). This understanding is also necessary for reporting, especially with the introduction of mandatory sustainability reporting, such as the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). Most companies choose the GHG Protocol for calculating their direct and indirect Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions.

• Identify ‘environmental hot spots’ within your business operations and value chain
• Facilitates the creation of an emission benchmark, reduction targets and plans
• Improve transparency between you and your stakeholders
• To comply with mandatory sustainability reporting regulations

A key aspect of sustainability reporting and setting emission reduction targets is calculating your carbon footprint by using the standards and tools of the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) protocol. The GHG protocol provides a framework for data collection, measurement, and carbon calculations. It serves as a common ground for many reporting systems and certification programs.

This framework requires accounting for Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions. These are emissions generated from various activities across the value chain and categorised.
