, Scope 1 covers emissions from sources that an organiza-
tion owns or controls directly - for example from burning
fuel in our fleet of vehicles (if they're not electrically-pow-
ered). Scope 2 are emissions that a company causes in-
directly and come from where the energy it purchases
and uses is produced. For example, the emissions caused
when generating the electricity that we use in our build-
ings would fall into this category. Scope 3 encompasses
emissions that are not produced by the company itself

sible for up and down its value chain. An example of this is
when we buy, use and dispose of products from suppliers.
