Scope 2 emissions

While Scope 1 emissions are those generated by the company itself (from energy production or the consumption of products that emit gases in the production process) and are therefore considered direct emissions, Scope 2 emissions are those produced during the generation of the energy that the company purchases. For example, the company’s electricity consumption does not generate direct Scope 1 emissions, but the generation of that electricity by the supplying company may have generated emissions. These emissions are attributed to the company as indirect Scope 2 emissions.

These emissions are measured in tons of CO2 equivalents (TnCO2e).
