Understanding carbon footprint scopes

The division of greenhouse gas emissions into three scopes, adopted by the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, provides a comprehensive framework to understand, measure and manage your carbon footprint effectively. Use our new guide to help you define which activities fall under which scope.

Calculating your carbon footprint

Whilst it may seem daunting to calculate your organisation’s carbon footprint and you may decide to employ a third party to help you, there are steps you can take to be fully prepared to assist in the data collection.

Our Understanding Carbon Footprint Scopes provides you with an understanding of emissions across all three scopes, allowing you to accelerate you sustainability goals and potentially save costs through identified initiatives.
