Scope 3 assurance

Scope 3 assurance is the independent review of how a company has measured and reported its value chain emissions.

Short answer

Scope 3 assurance is an independent check on how your value chain emissions were calculated, where the data came from, and whether the methodology is sound.

What assurance providers look for

Traceable source data, consistent methodology, version control and a clear audit trail for supplier specific numbers.

How to make assurance easier

Keep evidence with every number. Document methodology and changes. Use supplier specific data where it materially shifts the answer.
