There are 3 Emission Scopes:


  1. Scope 1 Emissions - Covers the Green House Gas (GHG) emissions that a company makes directly — for example while running its boilers and vehicles. 

  2. Scope 2 Emissions - Emissions a company makes indirectly – like when the electricity or energy it buys for heating and cooling buildings, is being produced on its behalf. 

  3. Scope 3 Emissions - Emissions that the organization is indirectly responsible for, up and down its value chain. For example, from buying products from its suppliers, and from its products when customers use them.


These Emission Scopes can be associated with an initiative by selecting the Scope on the Initiative Overview page. This will enable the Initiative to be selected when filtered for any Emission Scope on Initiative Impact or the Marginal Abatement Cost Curve.
