indirect emissions

Indirect emissions are a consequence of the activities of a company, but occur at sources owned or controlled by another company, for example, activities at a community power plant for providing the energy consumed on the building site. Indirect emissions include Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions.

Scope 3 emissions capture emissions from the employee activities and processes associated with the building. Although considered optional by some protocols, these emissions might be a significant contributor to your greenhouse gas emissions.
