What is Scope Emissions Reporting?
Scope emissions reporting requires companies to measure and disclose greenhouse gas emissions across your business and value chain. Following the greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol, emissions are categorized into 3 scopes:
Scope 1 – Direct Emissions
Emissions from sources owned or controlled by the company, such as fuel combustion in facilities or company vehicles.
Scope 2 – Indirect Energy Emissions
Emissions from the generation of purchased energy, such as electricity, heat, or steam consumed by operations.
Scope 3 – Value Chain Emissions
All other indirect emissions across your value chain, including suppliers, logistics, business travel, and product end-of-life. Scope 3 often represents the largest share of a company's carbon footprint and requires collaboration across partners.
Under current frameworks such as the ISSB Standards and the Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) framework, disclosure of Scope 1 and 2 emissions is already mandatory for companies above a certain size. Scope 3 reporting remains voluntary for now, though discussions are underway to make it mandatory in the future. While the UK Sustainability Reporting Standards (SRS) are not yet in force, this phased approach helps companies build capacity and strengthen sustainability across their supply chains.

Why Scope Emissions Reporting Matters to Business
Global Momentum is Growing
Rising stakeholder expectations on supply chain transparency and accountability make verified emissions data a key benchmark for trust and credibility, influencing market positioning and opportunities.
Regulations Make Reporting Mandatory
Regulations like the EU's Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) and the upcoming UK SRS make scope emissions reporting legally required and auditable. Accurate, reliable data is essential for market access and regulatory compliance.
Global Frameworks for Consistency
Following recognized standards like the GHG Protocol ensures data is consistent and comparable across regions, simplifying multinational compliance management.
From Compliance to Strategic Asset
Streamlined collection and reporting help companies identify inefficiencies, support emissions reduction goals, mitigate risks, and enhance resilience, turning compliance into a business advantage.
