Scope 3 GHG emissions programme

Introduction

Home | How we do it | Scope 3 GHG emissions programme

Two steps to decarbonising Scope 3

TfS members and suppliers share the responsibility to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the chemical industry.
Scope 3 (upstream) greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions constitute a major share of a chemical company’s emissions,
and therefore an important focus for measurement and improvement.

Our comprehensive Scope 3 Programme includes 3 complementary elements:

¹ Upstream GHG emissions from the production of purchased goods and services.

Watch the recording of the launch of the new PCF Exchange solution, which took place on October 29, 2024! We explored how this innovative tool can help you achieve your decarbonisation goals by streamlining, standardising, and simplifying the exchange of PCF data in chemical supply chains.

We heard from industry leaders like Dr. Jennifer Jewson (TfS President, LyondellBasell), Nancy Gillis (WBCSD), Anurag Jain (SRF Limited), Dr. Verena Buback (Merck), Valentina Giraldo (IFF), and Dr. Gunter Beitinger (Siemens), and learnt how PCF Exchange can drive decarbonisation across the industry.
