About Scope 1, 2 and 3 Emissions
Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions is a classification system used to categorise greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) from an organisation’s activities.
Scope 1 covers emissions from sources that an organisation owns or controls directly
Scope 2 are emissions that a company causes indirectly when the energy it purchases and uses is produced.
Scope 3 encompasses emissions that are not produced by an organisation itself, and not the result of activities from assets owned or controlled by them, but by those that it’s indirectly responsible for, up and down its value chain.
There are several key legislative drivers for managing, reducing and reporting on emissions. For example, Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) was introduced in 2019 by the UK Government, replacing the Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC) scheme. It requires obligated companies to report on their energy consumption and associated greenhouse gas emissions within their financial reporting.
