Our insetting approach

You’ve likely heard of direct and indirect emissions, but do you know the distinction between Scope  1,  2  and  3? When strategising on how to decarbonise, the focus is often on reducing Scope 1 and 2 emissions. However, Scope 3 emissions, or emissions as a consequence of business activities, are equally damaging to our climate and some of the most difficult to reduce. 

These are the emissions from activities under your control, for example fuel combustion on-site, such as gas boilers and fleet vehicles.  

These are the emissions created by owned or controlled sources. For example to generate the electricity purchased and used by your company. 

These are emissions from activities of your company occurring from sources you do not own or control. They are usually the greatest share of the carbon footprint, associated with business travel, procurement, and shipments.
