The Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHGP) is the global standard framework for measuring and managing greenhouse gases from companies, public or private, and their supply chains.
As part of calculating your carbon footprint, you must set an organisation and operational boundary which effectively defines what emissions you include and exclude in your calculation.
Scope 1 includes greenhouse gas emissions from buildings, vehicles and processes that are owned or controlled by your organisation.
Scope 2 emissions are greenhouse gas emissions that arise from the generation of electricity, heating or steam that you purchase & use to run your offices, manufacturing facilities and other operations.
Scope 3 includes greenhouse gas emissions released by the other entities in your value chain that may includes materials suppliers, third-party logistics providers, waste management suppliers, travel suppliers, franchisees, retailers, employees, and customers.
