SCS Engineers explains how companies can kick-start carbon reporting by strategically using available information. These methods help establish a strong foundation for assessing Scope 3 emissions to meet both regulatory requirements and voluntary commitments (such as the Meat Institute’s Protein PACT or Science Based Targets Initiative).
For more information or guidance, consult SCS Engineers for authoritative guidance in food and agricultural GHG accounting, including ground-breaking work with the Meat Institute to clarify and streamline your industry GHG protocols and methodology.
