Carbon Footprint
What Scope 3 looks like traced back to the land
For most companies, the largest figure in the carbon inventory is not the office, the vehicle fleet, or the electricity bill.

These purchased inputs form the bulk of a company’s Scope 3 emissions, which routinely exceeds everything the business controls directly, and can add up to 90% of their global footprint.
