What are Scope 1, 2 and 3 emmissions?

If you have heard of the different types of Greenhouse Gas emmissions (GHGe) you might be confused about what they are and which are relevant to your organisation.

The diagram on this page helps to explain this, and hopefully it is super straighforward and useful.

Scope 3 is the hardest to measure, especially for purchased goods and services, but for a typical organisation this can be around 75% of their total emissions!

It is vital to measure and understand all three. Operative can help you do that.
