Scope 3 emissions are often known as “value chain” emissions, because they come from sources upstream or downstream of your business, such as suppliers or customers. In the example of a supermarket, this might be the emissions produced from a supplier’s production of bread. Scope 3 emissions make up a surprisingly high percentage of total emissions for many businesses: Some estimates place Scope 3 emissions somewhere between 80% and 97% of total emissions for a large business. Given this, a net zero strategy with integrity should include tackling Scope 3 emissions. Mapping out a company’s Scope 3 emissions is a huge and complex area, but BiU can help.
