Carbon emissions come from a variety of sources, and can be categorized into three different "scopes." ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Scope 1 emissions are direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, such as a company's fleet of vehicles or on-site generators. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Scope 2 emissions are indirect emissions from the generation of electricity that is purchased and used by the company. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Scope 3 emissions are all other indirect emissions that are a result of the company's activities, but are not directly associated with owned or controlled sources. This can include things like employee travel, upstream transportation and waste disposal. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Understanding the different scopes of carbon emissions is essential for developing effective strategies to reduce them across and outside of the fashion.
