Understanding emissions scopes is crucial for businesses aiming to calculate and improve their Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) scores. Emissions are categorized into three scopes: Scope 1 (direct emissions), Scope 2 (indirect emissions from purchased energy), and Scope 3 (indirect emissions in the value chain). To accurately report and set reduction targets, detailed data collection is necessary. Companies can influence Scope 2 emissions through energy efficiency measures and renewable energy sourcing. Tracking and targeting Scope 3 emissions can be challenging but collaboration with partners in the value chain is essential. Transparency and commitment to reducing emissions across all scopes improve ESG scores and build trust with stakeholders.
