It’s a gas, gas, gas…

Greenhouse gas emissions are categorised in three ways: scope 1, 2 and 3

Scope 1

Direct greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that occur from sources that are controlled or owned by an organisation, such as emissions from manufacturing equipment or company vehicles.

Scope 2

Indirect GHG emissions associated with the purchase of electricity, steam, heat or cooling, and a result of an organisation’s energy usage.

Scope 3

All other indirect emissions that occur in a company’s value chain, which are not owned or controlled by the company, such as the end use of sold products.
