The Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol is the most widely used accounting tool for businesses to understand, quantify, and manage greenhouse gas emissions. The Protocol provides the accounting framework for nearly every GHG program in the world—from the ISO to the Carbon Disclosure Project to the California Climate Registry. It is used by hundreds of individual companies to prepare their GHG inventories. The new Scope III Initiative is trying to come up with a method to inventory the emissions across products’ full lifecycles and corporate supply chains, taking into account impacts both upstream and downstream of the company’s operations. How would a Scope III Protocol focused on supply chain emissions impact members? How would you build a business case for accounting for scope III emissions?
