Supply chain emissions (Carbon accounting)
Supply chain emissions, also called upstream emissions, are greenhouse gas emissions that occur in the production and transportation of materials, goods, and services upstream in a company’s supply chain. These emissions are categorised as part of Scope 3 emissions, encompassing all indirect emissions associated with a company’s value chain, including those outside of a company’s direct control. Supply chain emissions are an essential consideration in measuring and managing a company’s overall carbon footprint, as they can significantly impact its environmental impact and sustainability performance.
