Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions
Which climate risk platform is right for your business?
CONTENTS
Scope 1, 2, and 3 are the standard categories for greenhouse gas emissions. Scope 1 covers direct emissions from owned sources, Scope 2 covers emissions from purchased energy, and Scope 3 covers indirect emissions across the value chain.
Example in context
You're helping a company set a net-zero target. Most of its footprint turns out to sit within Scope 3 — the value chain — which is where both the reduction effort and transition risk are concentrated.
Why it matters
The scopes are the foundation of carbon accounting, targets, and disclosure, and they show where transition risk lies. Mitiga concentrates on the physical-risk side that sits alongside these transition metrics.
