Scope 3 emissions

Scope 3 emissions are the indirect greenhouse gas emissions that occur in a company’s value chain — purchased goods, transport, use of sold products, and other categories outside the company’s own operations (scope 1) and purchased energy (scope 2). For most non-industrial companies scope 3 is by far the largest share of the footprint, and it is the hardest to measure because the data belongs to suppliers and customers.
