How do I collect scope 3 emissions data?

Collecting scope 3 emissions data is likely to require wider engagement within the reporting company, as well as with suppliers and partners outside of the company, than is needed to collect scope 1 and scope 2 emissions data. Companies may need to engage several internal departments, such as procurement, energy, manufacturing, marketing, research and development, product design, logistics, and accounting.  

Chapter 7 of the Scope 3 Standard provides a four-step approach to collecting and evaluating data (see figure 7.1).
