Scope 3 Emissions
A category of indirect emissions defined by the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol), referring to all emissions generated upstream and downstream in a company's value chain, including procurement, supplier production, logistics, product use, and disposal. They typically account for more than 70% of a company's total carbon footprint.
Timeline (last 90 days)
The carbon losses from cement and steel during data center construction, as well as from land-use change, fall under Scope 3 emissions.
For most companies, Scope 3 emissions account for more than 70% of their total carbon footprint, making them the core target of sustainable supply chain management.
Corporate emissions are typically divided into three scopes: Scope 1 (direct emissions), Scope 2 (purchased energy emissions), and Scope 3 (upstream and downstream value chain emissions).
For most retail and technology companies, Scope 3 emissions typically account for more than 70% to 90% of their total carbon footprint.
Scope 3 emissions occur outside a company's legal boundary, cannot be directly measured by the company, and are not subject to legal means compelling partners to reduce emissions; they can only be influenced indirectly through procurement standards, supplier training, or economic incentives.
