Sustainable business starts with measurement. You can only improve what you understand. Many companies limit themselves to tracking their direct emissions, which include Scope 1 (such as gas usage and company vehicles) and Scope 2 (emissions from purchased electricity or heating). But that’s often just the tip of the iceberg.
That’s why we’re proud to announce our partnership with DGB Group. Thanks to this collaboration, it’s now possible to calculate your Scope 3 emissions, the emissions that occur throughout your value chain. And if you want to take the next step towards reduction or offsetting, DGB can help you achieve this goal.
Your most significant climate impact often happens outside your organisation: with suppliers, logistics, digital services, and how your products are used. All of this is part of Scope 3 emissions, which account for around 75% of the total carbon footprint for many businesses.
At the same time, SMEs in Europe are responsible for roughly 70% of total emissions. And at the current pace, we’re unlikely to meet the 1.5°C climate target set by the Paris Agreement.
That’s why taking Scope 3 seriously is essential. Without this insight, your climate strategy remains incomplete, while customers, partners, and legislation, such as the CSRD, increasingly demand a comprehensive picture.
Scope 3 includes all indirect emissions outside of your operations, such as:
Because you have less direct control over these sources, they are often overlooked, even though they tend to make up the largest share of emissions.
Together with DGB, we now offer the ability to map your complete CO₂ footprint, including Scope 1, 2, and 3. Calculations are based on international standards such as the GHG Protocol and ISO 14064, so you can rely on robust and trusted data.
You’ll also gain a clear view of where emissions are concentrated in your supply chain. Based on this, you can take action. DGB supports you with:
This approach moves your business forward, both strategically and practically
