What It Includes
Scope 2 consists of indirect emissions from purchased energy, such as electricity, heating, or cooling. Though these emissions occur off-site, they’re tied to your company’s consumption and are influenced by your energy choices.
Examples of Scope 2 for Food Companies
Electricity for Operations: power used for offices, warehouses, or production facilities.
Purchased Heating, Steam or Cooling: energy purchased for climate control in storage or production areas.
Why It’s Important
Reducing Scope 2 emissions often involves switching to renewable energy sources or improving energy efficiency in operations. These emissions can be managed by choosing green energy suppliers or installing energy-efficient equipment, which can significantly reduce your carbon footprint and align with sustainability goals.
