The issue of global greenhouse gas emissions is a complex and urgent one. It requires concerted efforts from all sectors of society, including governments, businesses, and individuals.
Category: Scope Emissions
Scope emissions are greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that are classified into three categories: Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3.
– Scope 1 emissions are direct emissions from owned or controlled sources.
– Scope 2 emissions are indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, steam, heat, and cooling.
– Scope 3 emissions are all other indirect emissions that occur in the value chain of the reporting company, including upstream and downstream emissions.
Measuring and managing Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions is important for companies to understand their environmental impact and to take steps to reduce their emissions. By reducing their emissions, companies can help to mitigate climate change and improve their sustainability performance.

Scope 4 emissions are indirect emissions that occur as a result of a company’s value chain activities.
Scope 3 Emissions: Understanding and Tackling the Hidden Impact on Climate Change
Measuring and reporting Scope 3 emissions can be challenging due to the complexity of value chains and the difficulty in obtaining accurate data.
Understanding Scope 2 Emissions: A Comprehensive Guide
Scope 2 emissions refer to indirect greenhouse gas emissions that occur as a result of consuming purchased electricity, heat, or steam.
Understanding Scope 1 Emissions: A Key Component of Corporate Sustainability
Scope 1 emissions refer to direct greenhouse gas emissions that occur from sources owned or controlled by a company.
