Now Supporting Scope 3 Emissions Categories 1, 4, 5 and 9

We’re excited to announce a major update to the CarbonOne platform: we now support Scope 3 emissions reporting for categories 1, 4, 5, and 9. These categories represent over 85% of the emissions of a company in the food and beverage sector, enabling our users to take meaningful steps toward comprehensive carbon management.

What are Scope 3 Emissions?

Scope 3 emissions encompass the indirect greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that occur throughout a company’s value chain. For the food and beverage industry, these emissions are often significant, stemming from activities such as:

• Category 4: Upstream Transportation and Distribution
  ‍Emissions from the transport of products and materials before they reach your business.
• Category 5: Waste Generated in Operations
  ‍Emissions from the disposal and treatment of waste created by your business activities.
• Category 9: Downstream Transportation and Distribution
  ‍Emissions from the transport of sold products to end customers.
• Category 1: Purchased Goods and Services
  ‍Emissions from the production of goods and services that a company buys.

For companies in the food and beverage sector, these categories often account for the majority of their carbon footprint. By addressing these emissions, businesses can:

• Achieve more accurate and comprehensive carbon reporting.
