Defining Scope 3

This section deals with other indirect GHG emissions that occur in your company’s value chain, both upstream and downstream. Scope 3 emissions are often the most challenging to quantify but are crucial for a complete carbon footprint.

Measuring tip: if you need clarification on what should or should not be included please get in contact with NetNada support. You can also change these selections later.
