Business Emissions
Understanding and reducing business emissions
What Are Business Emissions?
Business emissions refer to the greenhouse gases (GHGs) produced by business operations. These gases contribute to the global warming of the planet, which in turn can lead to higher temperatures, irregular and extreme weather patterns, and disruptions to personal and business activities. To help businesses understand, reduce, and report these emissions, they are primarily categorised into three scopes:
- Scope 1: Direct emissions from owned or controlled sources (e.g., company vehicles, onsite fuel combustion).
- Scope 2: Indirect emissions from the consumption of purchased electricity, heat, or steam.
- Scope 3: Other indirect emissions such as purchased goods, business travel, waste disposal, and supply chain activities.
