Scope 3. Decarbonization
along the value chain.

Indirectly caused emissions also influence the CO₂ footprint of your company. We support you in identifying emissions along the value chain and implementing reduction measures.

Scope 3 emissions. An important part of your climate strategy.

The balancing and reduction of Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions have long been a mandatory part of climate management. For a credible climate strategy, however, it is now essential to include Scope 3 emissions in a target. However, accurately recording these emissions along the value chain is a challenge, as they cannot normally be directly influenced by your company and a large number of stakeholders are involved.

With our in-depth expertise and many years of experience, we can help you identify these emissions, develop a credible strategy and implement long-term reduction measures.

What are Scope 3 emissions?

Scope 1 and Scope 2 refer to the direct and indirect emissions caused directly by your company. In contrast, Scope 3 emissions include indirect emissions along your entire value chain. These emissions arise from activities that do not originate directly from your company and cannot be directly influenced by you.

The GHG Protocol also distinguishes between up-stream and down-stream emissions within a company's value chain within Scope 3. Up-stream emissions are those associated with the production of raw materials, services and other goods, while down-stream emissions are essentially those that occur after the company's product or service has been launched on the market.

Your Scope 3 roadmap. Decarbonization in purchasing.

Identifying emissions along your value chain is an important step. However, in order to achieve actual reductions, specific measures must be derived and implemented, which can vary depending on the product category. For successful decarbonization in procurement, we work with you in workshops to identify relevant areas and derive reduction measures.
