The Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol) is one of the most widely used emissions reporting standards and it requires companies to break down their emissions into three categories, or scopes.
- Scope 1 emissions are those produced on a company’s site or directly by vehicles or power sources it owns.
- Scope 2 emissions are those resulting from electricity purchased by the company.
- Scope 3 emissions are those occurring as a result of its activities but from sources a company does not own or control.
To build trust with customers and consumers, audits should be carried out by independent experts and conducted annually to prove compliance.
