Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GhG)
Before we run any calculations, it is important to determine the parameters. Once the inputs are agreed, please visit MobiCycle Technologies for tools to run the calculations.
Why the GHG Protocol?
The GHG Protocol provides a detailed approach to identify and categorize various Scope 3 emission sources, from the extraction and production of materials to the end use of sold products and services.
It offers a consistent and comprehensive methodology for measuring and managing Scope 3 emissions, presenting a clear framework to assess both direct and indirect impacts.
This protocol encompasses all indirect emissions in your supply chain, covering both upstream and downstream activities, essential for a complete greenhouse gas emissions profile.
