Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions

1 min read

Scope 1 emissions: Direct greenhouse gas emissions from sources owned or controlled by an entity, including emissions from fuel combustion, chemical production processes, refrigerant leaks and company-owned vehicles. 

Scope 2 emissions: Indirect emissions from the generation of electricity, steam, heat, or cooling consumed by an entity. While the emissions occur at the facility where the energy is generated, the responsibility for these emissions lies with the entity consuming the energy. 

Scope 3 emissions: Indirect emissions that occur across the entire value chain of an entity, excluding Scope 2 emissions. These include emissions from business travel, procurement, waste management, water usage and other activities not directly controlled by the company, but integral to its operations and products.
