For many companies, Scope 3 emissions—indirectly controlled greenhouse gas emissions from a company’s value chain—make up most of their total emissions, more than Scope 1 and 2 combined. While each scope is important for a company to fully understand its environmental impact, Scope 3 emissions demand the most attention, as they offer the most potential to reduce the total footprint. By investing in Scope 3 emission reduction, companies have the opportunity to achieve not only substantial sustainability progress but also see a number of other benefits.
