Know About Scope 3 Emissions of An Organisation!!

Scope 3 emissions are indirect greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that occur in a company’s value chain but are not directly controlled by the company. These emissions result from activities not owned or directly controlled by the reporting organization, but that the organization indirectly impacts in its value chain.

Scope 3 emissions related to purchased goods and services refer to the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with the production, transportation, and disposal of goods and services that a company buys from external suppliers. These emissions occur in the upstream part of the value chain and can be significant, depending on the type and quantity of goods and services procured.
