The second part of this session helps participants understand where Scope 1 and 2 emissions originate and how to collect the information needed to calculate them.
The focus is on:
- identifying typical Scope 1 and 2 sources,
- understanding the difference between market and location based approach and why both approaches matter,
- selecting emission factors from credible databases.

- Session 2
- Online
- 10:00-12:00 (EET)
A guided approach to tackling Scope 3 with confidence and understanding what truly shapes your organisation’s footprint.

The second session explains why Scope 3 often forms the largest share of an organisation’s footprint and how to approach it in a structured way. The aim is to help participants move from overwhelming complexity to clear prioritisation.
The focus is on:
- screening value chain categories and identifying what is relevant,
- understanding where internal data exists and how to improve it over time,
- approaching suppliers in a practical and manageable way,
- exploring key emission factor databases and learning how to select and apply reliable factors.
Participants will learn how to use spend based and activity based methods and will complete a practical screening exercise based on their own organisational context. By discussing real examples and hearing challenges from other companies, participants gain clearer insight and build a stronger, shared understanding of Scope 3. A strong emphasis is placed on understanding emission factor sources, their credibility, and how to use them correctly.
