Definition — GHG Protocol Emission Scopes
GHG Protocol Corporate Standard · WRI / WBCSD
The definition comes from the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard, developed jointly by the World Resources Institute (WRI) and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD). Procurement primarily drives Scope 3, Category 1 — purchased goods and services — which is why supplier emissions and third-party assurance are tracked in this function.
| Scope | Definition | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Scope 1 | Direct emissions from owned/controlled sources | Company vehicle fuel, on-site fuel combustion |
| Scope 2 | Indirect emissions from purchased energy | Electricity, steam, heating/cooling purchased for own use |
| Scope 3 | All other indirect emissions across the value chain | Supplier manufacturing emissions, employee travel, product use, waste disposal, logistics |

Contribution is driven by two independent factors: how much we spend with the supplier, and how carbon-intensive their delivered goods or services are per unit of spend. Where a supplier provides no primary data, a spend-based proxy factor is applied — conservative by design, so unassured suppliers often screen higher than their true footprint.
