Organisations more advanced in carbon accounting may publish a detailed account or inventory of their emissions, and Defra's SIC-based conversion factors can be mapped to procurement categories for indicative supply chain estimates. Non-travel Scope 3 emissions are the hardest to account for because they arise in the value chain under other organisations' control, though a monopsonistic public buyer can hold real influence through procurement. As a first step organisations are suggested to liaise with suppliers to learn whether they have their own reporting mechanisms; over time Scope 3 emissions are expected to feature in supplier suitability and tender assessment, and when deciding the level of measurement for purchased goods and services (category 1) the organisation's sphere of influence should be considered, prioritising action that supports outcomes over fixation on numbers. Supply chain emissions of a reporting entity include all emissions from the related activity of its suppliers, whatever scope the supplier would place them in, limited to emissions within the public sector accounting boundary where the entity has budgetary control, which requires close liaison with the supply chain.
