Start to reduce your Scope 3 emissions
Scope 3 emissions come from activities like procurement, waste, travel and commuting. They're an important focus area - for many settings, reducing these emissions will be the biggest step towards Net Zero.
Identify what information about Scope 3 emissions you are already collecting at your setting. Scope 3 data relates to any greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions your setting is responsible for across a range of areas.
Work with your suppliers to gather information on the products and services that are relevant to your Scope 3 areas of focus.
Scope 3 emissions, which come from activities like procurement, waste, travel and commuting, often represent the largest portion of your overall emissions.
Once you have audited and analysed your Scope 3 data, you should prioritise any areas that you would like to focus on improving the quality and completeness of the data for.
Quick wins refer to easy, low-cost actions that deliver immediate or near-term benefits. As they require minimal planning or investment, it makes them a great starting point for settings that have limited time and budget. They can also lay the foundation for more comprehensive, long-term environmental initiatives.
