A multinational footwear company prepares its annual GHG inventory. The company sustainability director organizes data according to the GHG Protocol and prepares a set of recommended actions to lower company emissions.
Which action is the director most likely to recommend to reduce company Scope 3 emissions?
Switching to suppliers located closer to textile printing and product finishing facilities would reduce emissions from transportation and logistics, which are significant components of Scope 3 emissions. Scope 3 emissions include all indirect emissions that occur in the value chain of the reporting company, which cover a wide range of activities such as purchased goods and services, business travel, employee commuting, and the transportation and distribution of products. By choosing closer suppliers, the company can significantly cut down on emissions associated with the transport of materials and products.
How does A make sense?
A is the only answer that relates to S3 emissions
