organisation, or product. \u00a0It comprises Scope 1 emissions, Scope 2 emissions, and Scope 3 emissions.<\/p><p><strong>Scope 1 Emissions:<\/strong> These are direct emissions from sources owned or controlled by the organisation. This typically includes emissions from the onsite combustion of fossil fuels in boilers, furnaces, vehicles, or other equipment owned or controlled by the organisation. It also includes emissions from chemical processes.<\/p><p><strong>Scope 2 Emissions:<\/strong> These are indirect emissions associated with the consumption of purchased electricity, steam, heating, or cooling by the organisation. While these emissions occur at the facility of an electricity provider or another supplier, they are a consequence of the organisation&#8217;s activities. Scope 2 emissions are considered as indirect emissions because the organization does not directly control the generation of the electricity or energy.<\/p><p><strong>Scope 3 Emissions:<\/strong> These are all other indirect emissions that occur in the organization&#8217;s value chain, but outside of its direct control. They result from activities such as purchased goods and services, employee commuting, business travel, transportation, waste disposal, and other activities related to the organisation&#8217;s operations. Scope 3 emissions are often the largest source of emissions for many organisations but can also be the most challenging to quantify and manage due to the complexity of the value chain.<\/p><p>For procurement professionals, understanding these scopes is crucial.
