Best practices for submitting accurate Scope 3 emissions data.
Q: What is the most common issue with Scope 3 data submissions?
A: The most frequent problem is missing or incomplete Scope 3 emissions data. Users often overlook certain categories, especially upstream categories, or fail to merge datasets, leading to gaps in reporting.
Q: What steps should I take to ensure accurate Scope 3 data?
A: Ensure you have included all relevant emissions categories. Collaborate with your finance or procurement teams to gather spend data for upstream Scope 3 categories, as this data is often scattered across different systems.
Q: How can Emitwise help with Scope 3 data collection?
A: Emitwise offers a tool to automatically calculate Scope 3 emissions based on spend data, ensuring all relevant emissions categories are included in your submission if you have imported all your spend (e.g. including electricity, fuel, business travel expenditure etc.) into the system.
