To calculate the full greenhouse gas emissions for your business, you'll need to engage with your supply chain. In the past, businesses have used industry averages to estimate their supply chain emissions. But as new standards come into force, these estimates are no longer enough. This raises a dilemma, though. How can businesses get the data they need from their value chain, without overloading their suppliers with compliance costs?
Let's dive into the murky world of greenwashing - what is is, what it means, and how to avoid being accused of it.
Carbon offsets are a way to compensate for unavoidable carbon emissions. When you buy an offset, you fund projects that reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.But offsets are no golden bullet to address climate change. Some critics argue that they get in the way of meaningful change to reduce GHG emissions. When not used responsibly, carbon offset credits can also be a form of greenwashing. Join us as we dive into the sometimes-controversial world of carbon offsets.
If you're looking to report the carbon emissions of your business, you'll likely come across the three scopes of emissions. You can think of the three scopes as categories that help you — and anyone you need to report to — understand the contribution of your business to climate change. In this guide, we'll run through the main differences between the three scopes, and outline why you should start measuring your own greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
