Scope emissions (Scope) 1<\/strong> cover greenhouse gas emissions from operations and activities that owns and directly controls the company<\/strong>\u00a0.<\/p>\n

For example: for a food company with 2 corporate offices, 3 factories and its own distribution fleet, its Scope 1 emissions would cover all GHG-emitting activities and operations occurring within these boundaries.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n
\n

Scope emissions 2<\/strong> they come from energy used for operations and activities that the company owns and directly manages. More specifically \u2013 and as far as food companies are concerned \u2013 scope 2 emissions come from electricity, refrigeration, steaming and heating.<\/p>\n

For the same example of a food company as above, scope 2 emissions would come from the electricity used in the company's offices and factories and from heating, evaporating cooling products and ingredients in their factories.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n
\n

Scope emissions 3<\/strong> they are the most complex category to understand, but often the most significant, especially for food and beverage manufacturers and retailers. Scope 3 emissions apply to all activities emitting greenhouse gases that occur within the entire value chain, before (\u00a0upstream<\/em>\u00a0) even after (\u00a0downstream<\/em>\u00a0) company operations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

Every activity emitting greenhouse gases outside the management of our sample food company is its scope 3. It includes activities in the supply chain before and after our sample company, such as emissions from ingredients, other purchased goods, as well as activities after the product hits the retail shelf sale: Cooling at seller, use and disposal of products by consumers.<\/em><\/p>\n

\n
\n

Because Scope 3 emissions cover such a wide range of activities, Scope 3 has 15 different subcategories:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

1. Purchased goods and services<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Capital goods<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Activities related to fuel and energy<\/span><\/p>\n

4, 5. Transport and distribution - Downstream & Upstream<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Waste generated in operations<\/span><\/p>\n

7. Business trip<\/span><\/p>\n

8. Commuting of employees<\/span><\/p>\n

9, 10. Leased property \u2013 Upstream and downstream<\/span><\/p>\n

11. Processing of sold products<\/span><\/p>\n

12. Use of sold products<\/span><\/p>\n

13. Treatment after the lifetime of the products sold<\/span><\/p>\n

14. Franchises<\/span><\/p>\n

15. Investments<\/span><\/p>\n
