Scope 1 Emissions

These emissions originate from sources that an organisation directly owns or controls. For example, emissions resulting from the combustion of fuel in the organisation’s own fleet of vehicles (assuming they are not electric) are classified under Scope 1.

Scope 2 Emissions

These are emissions that an organisation causes indirectly, which arise from the production of the energy it purchases and consumes. For instance, the emissions generated during the production of electricity used within the organisation’s buildings fall under Scope 2.

Scope 3 Emissions

These encompass all other indirect emissions not covered by Scopes 1 and 2, which occur across the organisation’s value chain. This includes emissions from activities such as the procurement, utilisation, and disposal of products from suppliers. Scope 3 emissions capture all sources not accounted for within the Scope 1 and Scope 2 definitions.
