Scope 3 Assessment refers to the evaluation of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that occur across a company's value chain, outside of its direct operations (Scope 1) and purchased energy (Scope 2). This includes emissions from suppliers, transportation, product use, and disposal. By identifying and quantifying these indirect emissions, businesses can gain a clearer understanding of their overall environmental impact.
Conducting a Scope 3 Assessment is crucial for organizations committed to comprehensive climate action, helping them set reduction targets, engage suppliers, and improve their sustainability practices across the entire value chain.
