Collect and improve Scope 3 data
Previously, you will have audited your Scope 3 data to identify any gaps and inaccuracies. You should now work to improve the comprehensiveness and accuracy of your data.
As Scope 3 includes many different categories of emissions sources - including travel, waste, water, purchased goods and services - this data improvement exercise will require you to engage with different groups, including your staff, parents, learners, and suppliers. When you need to engage with significant suppliers, ensure you follow the plan you have created to improve key supplier data.
Where you are unable to collect accurate data, you may need to use industry averages or published benchmarks for emissions estimates.
Benefits include gaining a clearer picture of your total carbon footprint, improving transparency, and enabling more accurate reporting on sustainability efforts. An audit also helps identify opportunities for your setting to reduce emissions and work more closely with suppliers to minimise their environmental impact, contributing to a more sustainable and responsible operation.
