Setting Carbon Footprinting Boundaries

10 mins 59 secs

Key learning objectives:

Understand the importance of measuring scope 1, 2, and 3 carbon emissions for businesses
Outline the benefits of adopting an operational carbon footprinting boundary
Identify challenges in Scope 3 emissions reporting and ways to address them
Understand the best practices for collecting and calculating emissions data

Overview:

As businesses increasingly recognise the importance of addressing their carbon emissions, many are beginning to measure and disclose their environmental impact. While larger enterprises often lead the way in carbon footprint reporting, small and medium-sized enterprises also contribute significantly to national emissions. By adopting a more accessible approach to carbon reporting, such as focusing on operational carbon footprints, companies can engage employees, drive emissions reductions, and foster a culture of sustainability. Emphasizing practical measurement methods enables organisations to assess their direct emissions and encourages collaborative efforts within supply chains. Ultimately, establishing a clear framework for carbon accounting is essential for achieving long-term climate goals.
