Call for Evidence Webinar | UK scope 3 GHG emissions reporting
Measuring and reporting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are some of the first steps an organisation can take to reduce its overall emissions and energy consumption and contribute to the government’s Net Zero target.
The purpose of this Call for Evidence webinar is to seek stakeholder views on the costs, benefits and practicalities of reporting on scope 3 GHG emissions, so that we can construct and submit a response.

Background
Measuring and reporting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are some of the first steps an organisation can take to reduce its overall emissions and energy consumption and contribute to the government’s Net Zero target.
The UK Government is currently asking for feedback on the practicalities, benefits, and costs of reporting on scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, aiding their decision on endorsing International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) standards* in the UK.
As part of this call for evidence, the UK Government is also seeking feedback on the current SECR framework for a Post-Implementation Review.
About this webinar

*The International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) introduced its inaugural sustainability-related disclosure standards on June 26, 2023. These standards mandate entities to report their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across three scopes: scope 1 (direct emissions from owned or controlled sources), scope 2 (indirect emissions from purchased energy generation), and scope 3 (all other indirect emissions in the reporting company's value chain).
