The need to understand your carbon footprint is increasing, to ensure your business meets environmental expectations, can make cost reductions and enhance your brand reputation. Consumers are increasingly prioritising sustainability in their purchasing decisions.
A carbon footprint represents the total amount of greenhouse gases (GHG) that are emitted from your organisation. Through our ‘measure’ step, calculate the carbon footprint of your organisation in line with the relevant GHG Protocol Standards, covering scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions.
Taking this first step, to measure your footprint, will allow you to fully understand what this journey will look like for your business.
With the UK committed to reaching Net Zero by 2050, pressure is mounting on companies to reduce their climate change impact and become carbon neutral.
As we see ESG considerations now central to investment decisions, consumers choosing brands that align with their values and more drive to be an innovator against competitors, more business than ever before are choosing to lead the way and future proof their operations in this evolving landscape.
Scope 1
These include emissions from activities owned or controlled by an organisation that release emissions into the atmosphere. They are direct emissions where carbon emissions go directly into the atmosphere. Examples of Scope 1 emissions include emissions from combustion in owned or controlled boilers, furnaces, fuel burned in company owned/leased vehicles.
Scope 2
These include emissions released into the atmosphere associated with an organisation’s consumption of purchased electricity, heat, steam and cooling. These are indirect emissions that are a consequence of your organisation’s activities, but which occur at sources you do not own or control. For example, when you purchase electricity, the emissions happen indirectly at the power station.
Scope 3
Emissions that are a consequence of your actions, which occur at sources which you do not own or control and which are not classed as Scope 2 emissions. Examples of Scope 3 emissions are business travel by means not owned or controlled by your organisation, waste disposal which is not owned or controlled, or purchased materials.
