How Greenstone’s ESG software can enable Scope 3 reporting

scope3brochureblog-sGreenstone’s suite of sustainability, supply chain and investor ESG software solutions provide an integrated approach to addressing the challenge of Scope 3 emissions calculation and reporting. Providing a central hub for the collection and aggregation of Scope 3 data across all 15 Scope 3 categories, Greenstone’s solutions support businesses on their Scope 3 reporting journey, whether they are just starting out or they have been reporting in this area for years.

Scope 3 emissions, also known as value chain emissions, are indirect GHG emissions both upstream and downstream of a company’s main operations. Calculating, reducing and reporting Scope 3 emissions in accordance with the GHG Protocol can be challenging for businesses because the required data comes from outside of its own operations.
