Scope 3 Emissions encompass indirect emissions that occur in your value chain, both upstream and downstream. For many SMEs and micro businesses, managing Scope 3 emissions can seem daunting. However, addressing these emissions is crucial for comprehensive carbon reduction and sustainability efforts. Our services focus on key Scope 3 factors to help your business take meaningful steps towards a lower carbon footprint.

Waste Management

Effective waste management is essential for reducing Scope 3 emissions. We will work with you to:

Assess Waste Generation: Identify and quantify the types and volumes of waste your business produces.

Optimise Waste Reduction: Develop strategies to minimise waste through recycling, reusing materials, and reducing overall waste generation.

Engage with Suppliers: Encourage your supply chain partners to adopt sustainable practices and reduce packaging waste.

Business Travel

Business travel is often a significant contributor to Scope 3 emissions. We offer solutions to manage and mitigate these emissions:

Travel Audits: Analyse travel patterns and identify high-impact areas for emission reductions.

Virtual Alternatives: Promote the use of virtual meetings and conferences to reduce the need for travel.

Sustainable Travel Policies: Develop travel policies that prioritise sustainable modes of transportation, such as trains over flights, and encourage carpooling.

Staff Commuting

Employee commuting is another critical aspect of Scope 3 emissions. Our services help you address this by:

Commuting Surveys: Gather data on how your employees commute and identify opportunities for emission reductions.

Sustainable Commute Programs: Implement initiatives like bike-to-work schemes, public transportation incentives, and carpooling programs.

Remote Work Support: Encourage flexible working arrangements to reduce commuting frequency.

Working from Home

With the rise of remote work, emissions associated with home offices have become more relevant. We assist in managing these emissions through:

Energy Consumption Analysis: Evaluate the energy use of employees working from home and identify potential efficiency improvements.

Green Home Office Guidelines: Provide guidance on creating energy-efficient home office setups, including using energy-saving equipment and renewable energy sources.

Carbon Offsetting: Explore options for offsetting the emissions associated with home working.

By addressing these key Scope 3 factors, your business can significantly reduce its overall carbon footprint, enhance sustainability, and meet regulatory requirements. Our tailored services are designed to support SMEs and micro businesses in achieving these goals efficiently and effectively.

This subset of Scope 3 emissions are reported in accordance with the published reporting standard for Carbon Reduction Plans and the Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Standard. https://ghgprotocol.org/standards/scope-3-standard
