Understand your emissions data

Tracking your emissions will be crucial to making progress. You'll start by understanding Scopes - these are different types of emissions from your setting and its supply chain.

Understand the types of emissions (Scopes) that contribute to your setting's carbon footprint

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions can be divided into three categories: Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3. These are commonly used in sustainability resources, so it's worth becoming familiar with them.
