Scope
When it comes carbon commitments, scope is mission critical. If a company says they’re tackling climate change, or have emission reduction targets, we must always ask: do you include not only Scope 1 (from direct activities) and Scope 2 (indirect, from electricity and heat) but also Scope 3 (from the full value chain, typically the largest)? Microsoft has committed to be Scope 1-3 negative by 2030 and to remove all Scope 1 and 2 carbon emitted since the company was founded in 1975. Similarly, Shell has committed to become a Scope 1-3 net zero emissions energy business by 2050.
