Reach Scope 3: How to Simplify Its Measurement with Dcycle

Updated on
July 29, 2024

In a world where environmental consciousness has taken center stage, the most pioneering companies in sustainability face the challenge of measuring their carbon footprint and managing their environmental impact. In Spain, regulations require the calculation of the carbon footprint covering scopes 1, 2, and 3, with the latter being the most complex to measure.

Scope 3 includes all indirect emissions generated in the company's value chain, from business travel to production by suppliers. Despite not being mandatory at the moment, its calculation is crucial to obtaining a comprehensive view of an organization's environmental impact.

Defining Scopes 1, 2, and 3

  • Scope 1: Refers to the company's direct emissions.
  • Scope 2: Includes indirect emissions associated with energy consumption.
  • Scope 3: Encompasses other indirect emissions generated by activities not directly controlled by the company, such as subcontracted services or product purchases.

Not measuring scope 3, is only halfway there.

Measuring scope 3 not only fulfills an environmental responsibility but also offers multiple business benefits. From enhancing corporate image to complying with regulations and accessing new markets. Detailed analysis of scope 3 allows companies to manage risks, reduce costs, and foster a sustainable innovation strategy. Especially in a context where sustainability is increasingly valued by consumers, investors, and employees, addressing this complex aspect translates into competitive advantages and real business opportunities.
