Value Chain (Scope 3) GHG Emissions Quantification Study

Corporate, especially branded ones are one of the most important actors in reducing carbon emissions, as they are connected to numerous stakeholders, including consumers, supply chains and investors. For many branded corporates that provide end products and services to consumers, Scope 3 emissions often account for a large proportion of their total emissions. By identifying sources of Scope 3 and quantifying it, corporates can lay the foundation for the subsequent implementation of climate change management.

What is Scope 3

Scope 3 includes indirect GHG emissions generated in a company's value chain. Although they do not originate from sources owned or controlled by the company, Scope 3 emissions are essentially the result of activities such as production and operations. According to The Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Accounting and Reporting Standard, a company's Scope 3 emissions can be divided into eight upstream and seven downstream emissions categories. Upstream emissions are indirect GHG emissions associated with goods and services purchased or acquired, while downstream emissions are indirect GHG emissions associated with goods and services sold.
