[1] Scope 3 are indirect emissions that are a consequence of a company’s activities but occur from sources not owned or controlled by it, but by those that it is indirectly responsible for up and down its value chain. An example of this is when we buy, use and dispose of products from suppliers. Scope 3 emissions include all sources not within the scope 1 and 2 boundaries.
