Many organizations around the globe already use well-accepted methodologies for calculating scope 1 and scope 2 environmental impacts, which include a company's direct impacts and its indirect impacts from energy it buys. Furthermore, there has been an increased interest and focus on the environmental impacts that occur beyond the four walls of an organization, with leading companies working to track and report scope 3 impacts across their value chain.
