What is Scope 3 and why is it difficult for companies to calculate it?

Scope 3 includes indirect GHG emissions, those related to activities that are not under direct corporate control but are essential for the company to continue operating in the market. It therefore includes emissions upstream and downstream in the value chain, such as emissions from suppliers and customers.
Compared with Scope 1 and 2, Scope 3 emissions are more difficult to calculate and control precisely because they are generated by third parties and the company calculating them has more limited visibility over the data.

A solution that simplifies your calculation pathway

Our pathway is designed to fit according to your company's profile. Never calculated Scope 3 emissions? Start with an initial screening. Have you already done an initial screening but need to refine the calculation? Deepen the analysis and involve your value chain.

Screening of Scope 3

Activity that takes place in the first year. It is used to define the baseline from which to set the decarbonization strategy.

Through benchmark analysis and sector insights, we define relevant emission categories and calculate priority Scope 3 emissions.

Deepening analysis

Activity that takes place after the initial screening and is used to improve the accuracy of the calculation.

We refine the analysis of Scope 3 emissions through a deepening of the previous year's calculation, and broaden the scope of analysis by including more emission categories.

Deepening the calculation

Activity that takes place after the initial screening and serves to improve the accuracy of the calculation.

We refine the analysis of scope 3 emissions through a deepening of the previous year's calculation and broaden the scope of analysis by including more emission categories.

Value chain involvement

Depending on your company's profile, this step can be done after the in-depth calculation or right at the beginning of the journey.

We directly involve your suppliers and customers in collecting the most robust primary data. We identify the companies in your value chain that are most relevant, collect the primary data, and use it to calculate your Scope 3 emissions.

Why calculate Scope 3 emissions?

Complete carbon footprint mapping.
Scope 3 emissions often account for more than 90 percent of a company's total emissions. Knowing them allows you to get a more accurate carbon footprint analysis.
Increase ESG rating
A comprehensive analysis of your company's Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, along with transparent communication, allows you to score higher on your ESG rating.
Define a comprehensive decarbonization strategy
Knowing your Scope 3 emissions allows you to get an overall picture of your company's impact and thus define a comprehensive decarbonization strategy.
Improve your business positioning
Companies increasingly need to know the full carbon footprint of their customers and suppliers, and Scope 3 emissions analysis is in high demand.

Calculate your company's Scope 3 emissions.

Questions?
Some of the questions we are frequently asked are.

What is the GHG Protocol?

It is a globally recognized standard for measuring and managing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of companies and their value chains, as well as for emission reduction measures. It is the most widely used for the calculation and reporting of emissions by companies and institutions.

What are the issues of Scope 1, 2?

Scope 1 emissions are direct GHG emissions that result from sources owned or controlled by an organization. These emissions are generated from the use of fossil fuels and the release of greenhouse gases defined by the Kyoto Protocol into the atmosphere. Some sources of these emissions are, for example, boilers, emergency generators, and company cars. Scope 2 emissions are indirect emissions from the generation of electricity, heat, and steam purchased and consumed by the organization. These emissions are considered indirect because the company is responsible for the use of the energy, but not for the emissions generated by the supplier to produce it.

What are the emissions of Scope 3?

Scope 3 emissions are indirect GHG emissions, excluding those from electricity, heat and steam: this category encompasses emission sources that are not under direct corporate control, but whose emissions are indirectly related to the company's operations. They include emissions upstream and downstream in the value chain, such as emissions from suppliers and customers.

Why should I calculate my company's carbon footprint now and not wait for the state to dictate it?

If you want, you can wait, but sustainability directives are becoming more frequent, and month by month more and more companies are being restricted. Also, keep in mind that:

- you are not using the competitive advantage of being one of the few companies today that are committed to the environment. There is evidence that customers and investors today are much more sensitive to sustainability issues and choose companies that are pioneers in this regard;

- you can access tax and financial benefits that may no longer be guaranteed when carbon neutrality becomes the norm.In short, don't wait for change! Start enjoying the benefits now.
