Navigate the scope 3 challenge

Scope 3 covers all the upstream and downstream emissions associated with an organisation’s activities. By definition, scope 3 is not under the direct control of the organisation and therefore they will have limited and/or varying degrees of influence. However, for real estate, this data typically represents at least 80% of an organisation’s emissions. There’s a lot of uncertainty around scope 3, but it’s a challenge that needs to be taken on.

This page compiles resources you can use to understand the importance of scope 3 data and develop strategies to collect and measure it.
