Corporate Carbon Footprint – Understanding Scope 1, 2 and 3 Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions
Corporate Carbon Footprint – Understanding Scope 1, 2 and 3 Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions
What’s included a company’s carbon footprint? How to measure corporate Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions? Every business leader should know what to consider as part of their company footprint, this video explains what’s included.
Often we tend to think about facilities, energy use, and perhaps the fleet – but these account only for a part of a company’s total carbon footprint. The Sustainability Speaker Susanna Hasenoehrl helps you to better understand this, walking you through the concept of Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions.
Scope 1 and 2 emissions arise from a company’s operational activities, such as a production facility, or heating or cooling an office. These can be controlled somewhat easily – for example, by switching to renewable energy, or to an electric fleet.
So what about Scope 3? Pukka, a Unilever brand, reports that 49% of their emissions come from boiling the kettle, to make a ‘cuppa’. This is an example of Scope 3 emissions, which are more indirect – yet related to the usage of a company’s products and services.
For most companies, Scope 3 makes up most of their carbon footprint. Scope 3 emissions can be quite difficult to measure, as it includes things like emissions from waste – when a product is disposed of – the supply chain, outsourced activities, and even business travel.
Nonetheless: when you come across a company’s carbon disclosure, do ask whether Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions are included.
Electronic fleet? You do know that there is a difference between electronic and electric, don’t you? Also, climate change is a farce
Very good explanation mam..
But how to measure Scope 1,2 and 3 emission?
How to make a complex topic accessible to all. Thanks for this "to the point" video !
A
Well explained!
Thank you.
Thank you mam you are explanation is clear perfect and easy to understand it helps me alot for research about carbon footprint print thank you once again 👌🤩
thank you your clearification
Thanks for the simple explanation. Please make more videos, would like to be aware about sustainability for corporates and individual. ❤
Very interesting thank you. One question – are Scope 1, 2, 3 internationally defined and recognised? Are they part of the UN Climate Change programme or another group?
How would you calculate scope 1,2,3 with the annual revenue to get the carbon footprint?
HAY LADY. YOU SHOULD TELL PEOPLE ABOUT THE 6 BILLION CARBON BASE PEOPLE THEY WANT TO KILL
ASK DR. DENNIS MEADOW. HE WANTS TO ERADICATE. I DO BELIEVE HE SAID HUMANS. IF BILL GATES AND KLAUS SCHWAB AND OTHER HEADS OF COUNTRIES ARE GOING TO LIVE THE LIFE THEY WANT? THEN I DON’T WANT ANY PART OF IT. IF THE GREEN NEW DEAL MEANS ERADICATING BILLIONS OF PEOPLE. LIKE DR. DENNIS MEADOW SUGGESTED STRONGLY. THEN LET THE ELITISTS BE THE FIRST ONES TO SHOW US HOW IT’S DONE
STARTING WITH THEM FIRST. ALL FOR ONE OR NONE AT ALL. PERIOD.
YOUNG LADY YOU BETTER TALK TO DR. DENNIS MEADOW ON U TUBE..YOU MIGHT BE THE NEXT TO GO.
thanks for a straightforward video
Very informative
