… emissions were factored in as part of the procurement process and this is something that will be put in place to ensure that more Scope 3 data can be captured and at the same time pressure put on suppliers to reduce emissions. Scope 3 emissions can account for 70 – 80% of a council’s total footprint, given Scope 2 These emissions are indirect and are associated with the use of electricity…

Action is also needed by the companies and organisations which supply goods…

A carbon offset is a reduction in emissions made in order to compensate for emissions made elsewhere. There are several ways of offsetting carbon emissions such as carbon capture and storage however…
