All other indirect GHG emissions (not included in Scope 2) that occur in the value chain of the reporting company.

Scope 3 is an optional reporting category that allows for the treatment of all other indirect emissions.

Some examples of scope 3 activities are extraction and production of purchased materials; transportation of purchased fuels; and use of sold products and services.
