Understanding the Basics of GHG Protocol (Scope 1, 2, 3) & Emissions

▶️ GHG Protocol (Scope 1, 2, 3) & Emissions


When creating a sustainability report, it doesn’t matter which standard you are required to use eg. IFRS S1 & S2, GRI, IR, ESRS, ISO etc. The emissions section will definitely reference GHG Protocol.

The Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol categorizes emissions into three scopes, each representing a different level of control and responsibility.

Here’s a simple and easy to understand classification of each scope and its distinctions (types of emissions, primary stakeholders involved, reporting complexity and examples) to help you understand your organization’s emissions data in the sustainability report.

At Karbon Hero 🌱, we believe by measuring and reducing emissions across all three scopes is equally important in order for businesses to make a meaningful impact on the climate. It’s time to take responsibility and drive sustainable change!
