Frequently Asked Questions
What are Scope 3 emissions?
Scope 3 emissions are indirect greenhouse gas emissions that are not directly controlled by a company but generated from indirect activities such as product use, disposal, etc. The Scope 3 emission includes emissions which occur across value chain, both upstream and downstream.
Why are Scope 3 emissions important?
Scope 3 emissions are the largest contributor to the company’s total emission footprint. For majority of the company, Scope 3 contributes over 70-90% of total emissions. Scope 3 emission help to identify key emission hotspot across the value chain.
What are the main categories of Scope 3 emissions?
As per the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, Scope 3 includes 15 categories, broadly divided into:
- Upstream Activities:
- Purchased goods and services
- Capital goods
- Fuel and energy-related activities
- Upstream transportation and distribution
- Waste generated in operations
- Business travel and employee commuting
- Leased assets
- Downstream Activities:
- Transportation and distribution
- Processing of sold products
- Use of sold products
- End-of-life treatment of products
- Downstream leased assets, franchises, and investments
How can companies improve Scope 3 data accuracy?
Companies can improve Scope 3 data accuracy by shifting from spend-based estimates to supplier-specific primary data, which enhances reliability. Using digital tools and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) databases help standardize calculations and improve precision. Engaging suppliers through surveys and audits ensures validated and up-to-date emissions data.
These steps collectively strengthen transparency and enable better emissions management across the value chain.
How does Scope 3 relate to Net-Zero targets?
Companies aligning to Net-Zero or decarbonisation are required to report Scope 3. Also frameworks such as SBTi are often required to include Scope 3 emission if they form significant portion (>40%) of total emissions.
What is a sustainable supply chain?
A sustainable supply chain includes environmental, social and governance principles into value chain. Sustainable supply chain enables organization to align value chain patterns with companies’ goals and commitments.
What regulations are driving sustainable supply chains?
Sustainable supply chains are increasingly driven by regulatory frameworks. Key frameworks driving sustainable supply chain are BRSR, GRI & Ecovadis. These frameworks are encouraging companies to strengthen supplier accountability and intergerate sustainbility into core supply chain operations.
