Setting the scope 3 boundary (chapter 6) – GHG Protocol Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Standard

GHG Protocol Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Standard 6.2-ALL: 6.2 Account for all scope 3 emissions; disclose and justify exclusions

Companies must cover every scope 3 emission as defined in the standard and must disclose and justify any exclusion in the public report. Guidance: map the value chain first (categories, purchased and sold goods and services, suppliers and partners), not exclude activities expected to be significant or that would undermine relevance, report categories that do not apply as not applicable, and, where an intermediate product's end uses are unknowable, exclude categories 9 to 12 together rather than selectively.
