Scope 3 and Your Road to Net Zero

• In 2019, 17 percent of net greenhouse gas emissions in the UK were estimated to come from the business sector.
• Up to 90 percent of an organisation’s environmental impact lies in the value chain, either upstream (supply chain) or downstream. It is therefore vital that businesses analyse and act on their supply chain to become more sustainable and contribute to a low-carbon economy.
• Typically, Scope 3 can account for 80-90 percent of an organisation’s emissions. However, while the Scope 3 standard is the only internationally accepted method of measuring value chain emissions, it can be both complex and time consuming.
