Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Accounting and Reporting

The necessity of achieving net zero is driving regulations, target-setting standards, and reporting requirements to mandate the accounting and reporting of GHG emissions across the value chain, also known as scope 1, 2, and 3. Companies are no longer faced with the question of whether or not to calculate their GHG emissions, but how to do so with greater transparency.

This leads to concrete action to reduce emissions from within their operations, suppliers and products. There is an increasing trend towards mandating Scope 3 reporting. For companies that have an extensive supply chain, it is likely that their scope 3 emissions are the highest. Given that it is related to suppliers and after-sales emissions, it can be challenging to navigate what is required, where to start and how to calculate, increasing complexity to an already intensive process.
