Designing Scope 3 Emissions Methodology
Problem Statement
MachineryCo required a precise 2024 Scope 3 inventory for SBTi reporting but faced data gaps, outdated emission factors, and inconsistent methodologies across categories.
Category 11 (pumps), accounting for ~98% of total Scope 3 emissions, was overstated due to incomplete global coverage, unclear runtime assumptions, and missing motor/country data.
Without a unified and transparent methodology, MachineryCo risked inaccurate disclosures, higher assurance costs, delayed reporting timelines, and reduced credibility with regulators, investors, and customers.
Key Objectives
Calculate and document emissions for all 15 Scope 3 categories using GHG Protocol and SBTi-aligned methods.
Re-baseline Category 11 with updated emission factors, Europump runtime, and complete global pump coverage.
Standardize and centralize templates, assumptions, and data sources to enable faster, audit-ready reporting year-on-year.
