Want to ensure your organisation is better equipped to manage its wider carbon footprint? Watch the recording of our live event, where our Low Carbon Economy Lead, Charlie Leaman-Pearce, explores how you can get to grips with this complex area of carbon accounting.
What are Scope 3 emissions?
Scope 3 emissions, which stem from the supply chain and other indirect sources, can represent a significant portion of an organisation’s environmental impact. Accurate reporting of these emissions is essential to realise local climate commitments alongside organisational net zero goals.
However, according to the 2024 Local Government Association Climate Change Survey, while 92% of local authorities report on Scope 1 and 2 emissions, only 67% include Scope 3 in these reports. With only five years left for those who have committed to net zero by 2030 targets, time is running out to measure and reduce Scope 3 emissions.
What you will learn:
- What carbon accounting and Scope 3 emissions are
- An explanation of regulation and reporting requirements
- What the GHG protocol is and how it works
- How public-sector organisations can tackle Scope 3 emissions
- How to design action plans to deliver on Scope 3 ambitions and targets
- Different approaches to tackling Scope 3 emissions
- What opportunities and barriers there are to tackling Scope 3 emissions
- How to harness and overcome these
