What are Scope 3 Emissions?

Scope 3 emissions are indirect greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that occur in a company’s value chain but are not directly controlled by the company. In the logistics industry, this primarily includes emissions from transportation.

The European Union (EU) has placed significant emphasis on reducing Scope 3 emissions. The Fit for 55 package mandates that large companies report their Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. This has implications for the logistics industry, as shippers are responsible for tracking and reporting emissions from the point of origin to the final destination.

To address this challenge, logistics companies are exploring various strategies to reduce their environmental impact. These strategies include shifting freight transportation from road to rail or water, adopting electric or hybrid vehicles, improving fuel efficiency, using sustainable packaging, and optimizing supply chains. By taking proactive steps, logistics companies can contribute to a more sustainable future and comply with increasingly stringent regulations.
