In this article, we define what Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions are and their significance in managing a company's carbon footprint.
Scope 3 emissions are the rest of emissions that are produced that don’t fall under scope emissions 1 or 2. Scope 3 emissions occur from activities that happen outside of the company: such as from the manufacturing of purchased materials or the emissions created from business travel.
