Carbon Footprint Infographic
Downstream
COMMON TERMINOLOGY
Carbon Dioxide Equivalent (CO2e):
A common way to measure and
report greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions such as carbon dioxide
(CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide
(N2O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs),
perfluorocarbons (PFCs), and
sulphur hexafluoride (SF6)
Emission Standards: The
classification of emissions across
the supply chain
Scope 1: Direct emissions from
sources that are owned or
controlled by an organization (e.g.,
company-owned vehicles, process
emissions, and on-site heating)
Scope 2: Indirect emissions from
purchased indirect sources, such
as the production of electricity and
steam for an organization’s use
Scope 3: Indirect emissions from
sources up and down the supply
chain, including materials,
transportation of goods, and the
processing, use, and end-of-life
treatment of sold products
Cradle-to-Gate: Carbon impact of a
product from raw materials and
product manufacturing
Cradle-to-Grave: Carbon impact
and analysis across the entire life
cycle of a product from raw materials
to disposal
