Scope 3 Supply Chain

Capturing Scope 3 supply chain emissions as part of reporting Scope 3 broader indirect emissions:

Manage Activity form

“Scope 3 Supply Chain Category” drop-down on first tab (maintenance of this field currently restricted to Administrators)
Calculation Method = Scope 3 Supply Chain Calculator (configured during activity creation and cannot be modified)
“Note” field on first tab (can be used to record the reason for Scope 3 Category choice or any other pertinent info)

“Activity Register” tab contains the columns for Scope 3 Supply Chain Category and Note (with calculator code = CARBON040)
“Scope3Categories” tab displays the fixed list of upstream and downstream categories options https://ghgprotocol.org/sites/default/files/ghgp/standards/Scope3_Calculation_Guidance_0.pdf

“Activities” tab allows specification of each activity’s emissions calculator (Scope 3 Supply Chain Calculator has code = CARBON040), Scope3Category and ActivityNote
“Calculator Configuration” tab is used to configure the Scope 3 Supply Chain calculator by specifying:
- the emission factor set;
- the factor lookup;
- the Scope 3 calculation method e.g. supplier-specific, average-data, spend-based, etc
  (Note: this selection has no impact on the emissions calculation);
- the input for emissions calculation (“co2e”, “Quantity”, or “Cost”), and
- the effective month range for these settings.

This template facilitates the upload of data for activities using the Scope 3 Supply Chain calculator, whose inputs are t CO2-e, quantity, and cost.
One or more of these inputs may be specified; it is mandatory to enter the input nominated in the activity’s calculator configuration.

The emission factor type SCOPE_3_SUPPLY_CHAIN_EMISSION_FACTOR supports the use of custom supplier factors. ( Emission Factors report )
