Scope 1
The framework of scopes for reporting carbon emissions
There is scientific consensus that our planet is warming as a result of human-induced emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) into the atmosphere. There is a global call to reduce emissions, as well as mitigate and adapt to the impacts associated with climate change. This call has been answered initially by the Paris Agreement, which in … Read More
Accounting for indirect travel emissions
Travel results in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions into our atmosphere. Given the collective global goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2050, it is crucial that emissions are calculated, reported, and mitigated. This article discusses some of the key considerations around measuring and reporting indirect travel emissions. Post COVID, travel restrictions have eased, and many … Read More
