#Scope3 emissions refer to indirect #greenhousegas emissions that occur outside of a company's direct operations, but are still related to their activities. Think of it like this: - Scope 1 emissions are like the exhaust from your own #truck (direct). - Scope 2 emissions are like the electricity you use to power your #warehouse (indirect, but still somewhat under your control). - Scope 3 emissions are like the emissions from the #production of goods you #transport, or the emissions from your suppliers' #operations (indirect, and mostly outside of your control). In the logistics industry, Scope 3 emissions might include: - Emissions from #transportation services you hire - Emissions from the production of #packaging materials - Emissions from the extraction and production of fuel used in transportation To reduce Scope 3 emissions in #logistics, companies can: - Use more fuel-efficient vehicles - Optimize routes to reduce miles driven - Use sustainable packaging materials - Encourage suppliers and service providers to reduce their own emissions Share your thoughts of how best to measure and improve emissions #carbon #environment #manufacturing #supplychain
