The Greenhouse Gas Protocol classifies emissions into three scopes: Scope 1 and Scope 2 are easier to measure, involving direct and indirect emissions respectively. Scope 3 emissions, however, represent a significant challenge, as they are indirect and involve emissions from suppliers and customers. Despite regulatory changes improving emissions reporting, Scope 3 emissions often account for the largest part of a company's carbon footprint and are key to understanding environmental impacts related to consumer behavior. A shift towards corporate accountability in climate issues is also noted.
Scope 3 emissions represent the most significant component of most companies' carbon footprints, being directly connected to consumer choices and behavior.
Understanding Scope 3 emissions is crucial for companies to accurately assess their environmental impact and for consumers to make informed choices.
