What is Scope 3 and why is it difficult for companies to calculate it?

Scope 3 includes indirect GHG emissions, those related to activities that are not under direct company control, but which are essential for the company to continue operating on the market. It therefore includes emissions upstream and downstream of the value chain, such as emissions from suppliers and customers.
Compared to Scope 1 and 2, Scope 3 emissions are more difficult to calculate and control, precisely because they are generated by third parties and the company that calculates them has a more limited visibility on the data.

A solution that simplifies your calculation process

Our path is designed to adapt to the profile of your company. Have you never calculated Scope 3 emissions? Start with an initial screening. Have you already done a first screening but do you need to refine the calculation? Deepen the analysis and involve your value chain.

Scope 3 Screening

Activity that takes place in the first year. It is used to define the starting base from which to set up the decarbonization strategy.

Through benchmark analysis and industry insights, we define the relevant emission categories and calculate priority Scope 3 emissions.

Deepening the analysis

Activity that takes place after the initial screening and serves to improve the accuracy of the calculation.

Let's refine the analysis of Scope 3 emissions through an in-depth analysis of the previous year's calculation, and we expand the scope of analysis to include a greater number of emission categories.

Deepening the calculation

Let's refine the analysis of purpose 3 emissions through an in-depth analysis of the previous year's calculation and expand the scope of analysis to include a greater number of emission categories.

Involving the value chain

Depending on your company profile, this step can be carried out after deepening the calculation or immediately at the beginning of the journey.

We directly involve your suppliers and customers in the collection of the strongest primary data. We identify the most important companies in your value chain, collect primary data and use it to calculate your Scope 3 emissions.

Why calculate Scope 3 emissions?

Complete the carbon footprint mapping
Scope 3 emissions often represent more than 90% of a company's overall emissions. Knowing them allows you to obtain a more accurate analysis of the carbon footprint.
Increase your ESG rating
A complete analysis of your company's Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions, together with transparent communication, allows you to obtain a higher score than your ESG rating.
Define a comprehensive decarbonization strategy
Knowing the emissions of Scope 3 allows you to have an overall picture of the impact of your company and therefore to define a complete decarbonization strategy.
Improve the positioning of your business
Companies increasingly need to know the full carbon footprint of their customers and suppliers, and the analysis of Scope 3 emissions is in high demand.

Questions?
Some of the questions we are frequently asked

What is the GHG Protocol?

This is a globally recognized standard for measuring and managing companies' greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and their value chains, as well as for emission reduction measures. It is the most used for calculating and reporting emissions by companies and institutions.

What are the emissions of Scope 1, 2?

Scope 1 emissions are direct GHG emissions that derive from sources owned or controlled by an organization. These emissions are generated by the use of fossil fuels and the release into the atmosphere of greenhouse gases defined by the Kyoto Protocol. Some sources of these emissions are, for example, boilers, emergency generators, company cars. Scope 2 emissions are indirect emissions deriving from the generation of electricity, heat and steam purchased and consumed by the organization. These emissions are considered indirect, as the company is responsible for using the energy, but not for the emissions generated by the supplier for the production of this energy.

What are Scope 3's emissions?

Scope 3 emissions are indirect GHG emissions, excluding those from electricity, heat and steam: this category includes emission sources that are not under direct corporate control, but whose emissions are indirectly linked to the company's business. They include emissions upstream and downstream of the value chain, such as emissions from suppliers and customers.

Why should I immediately calculate my company's carbon footprint and not wait for the State to impose it on me?

If you want, you can wait, but sustainability guidelines are becoming more frequent and from month to month more and more companies are subject to restrictions. Also, keep in mind that:

- you do not take advantage of the competitive advantage of being one of the few companies that are committed to the environment today. It has been demonstrated that today's customers and investors are much more sensitive to the issue of sustainability and choose companies that are pioneers in this regard;

- you can access tax and financial benefits that may no longer be guaranteed when carbon neutrality becomes the norm. In short, don't wait for the change! Start enjoying the benefits now.
