Scope 3 Challenge for Businesses
Why can scope 3 emission calculations be a challenge for businesses and how can Trac-C help?
Calculating Scope 3 emissions is important for impactful climate action because for many businesses they make up a large chunk of an organisation’s emissions. Scope 3 emissions are not directly produced but are those that a business is indirectly responsible for in its value chain. For example, emissions include supply chain emissions, waste generated, employee commuting as well as investments and pensions etc.
​
Calculating Scope 3 emissions can be a challenge for businesses for two reasons, firstly, their complexity and scale and secondly, data collection. Many businesses won’t know where to start in calculating Scope 3 emissions because they occur outside of a company’s direct control. Scope 3 emissions can be calculated using consumption-based metrics or estimated with spend-based metrics. This means that data collection isn’t always standardised, which prevents companies from being able to draw meaningful conclusions in house. The complexity of calculating Scope 3 emissions makes the process time consuming and unreliable if a company doesn’t have the necessary tools and resources to track down emissions from large value chains.
​
trac-C helps businesses gain a full picture of their carbon footprint by accurately assessing Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions. Our team have a clear understanding of, and experience navigating, the complexities of Scope 3 reporting.
​
By working with trac-C on Scope 3 reporting we will identify your business’s likely largest source of emissions to build a complete footprint. This is key to helping your business manage risks, gain customer trust and developing a responsible approach to managing impact on the environment.
