Category 1, purchased goods and services, is usually the largest slice of a company’s Scope 3 footprint and the one a buyer can only cut through its supply chain. That is why suppliers to majors like Shell are now asked for primary carbon data, and why a credible Scope 3 number has quietly become a condition of winning B2B contracts.<\/p>\n
Scope 3 Category 1 is purchased goods and services: the cradle-to-gate emissions embedded in everything a company buys, from steel and chemicals to software and professional services. Under the GHG Protocol it is the first of fifteen Scope 3 categories and, for most buyers, the single largest one. It matters to suppliers because it is the part of a buyer’s footprint that only procurement can reduce, so cutting it means asking suppliers for primary carbon data and reductions. For Shell, Category 1 was about 119 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent in 2024. Increasingly, a supplier’s own emissions data is what decides whether it clears the buyer’s qualification gate.<\/p>\n

Category 1, purchased goods and services, captures the upstream, cradle-to-gate emissions from the production of everything the company buys in a reporting year, up to the point of receipt, excluding anything already counted in categories 2 through 8.<\/p>\n In plain terms, it is the carbon embedded in the goods and services on a company’s purchase ledger: the steel, cement, chemicals, equipment, logistics inputs, software and professional services it acquires. For most buyers it is the single largest Scope 3 category, and for manufacturers it alone can account for more than 60 percent of total emissions. That scale is exactly why it is the category procurement teams are told to attack first.<\/p>\n \u0415\u0434\u0438\u043d\u0441\u0442\u0432\u0435\u043d\u043d\u044b\u0439 \u0440\u044b\u0447\u0430\u0433 \u0432\u043e\u0437\u0434\u0435\u0439\u0441\u0442\u0432\u0438\u044f, \u043a\u043e\u0442\u043e\u0440\u044b\u043c \u0440\u0430\u0441\u043f\u043e\u043b\u0430\u0433\u0430\u0435\u0442 \u043f\u043e\u043a\u0443\u043f\u0430\u0442\u0435\u043b\u044c, \u2014 \u044d\u0442\u043e \u0437\u0430\u043a\u0443\u043f\u043a\u0430.<\/strong><\/p>\n Scopes 1 and 2 are the emissions a company controls directly, its own fuel and its purchased electricity. Category 1 is different: the emissions physically happen inside the supplier’s operations, not the buyer’s. A buyer cannot retrofit a supplier’s factory or switch its power contract. The only lever it has is the purchasing relationship, which is why the pressure travels down the chain to the people who can actually change the number.<\/p>\n The GHG Protocol allows four ways to calculate Category 1: supplier-specific, hybrid, average-data and spend-based. Spend-based and average-data methods use industry averages and need nothing from the supplier, but they are blunt and cannot show real reductions. Supplier-specific and hybrid methods require primary data collected from the supplier. As buyers move from spend-based estimates toward supplier-specific data, the request for a real carbon number lands squarely on the vendor’s desk.<\/p>\n \u0410\u043d\u043a\u0435\u0442\u044b, \u043f\u043b\u0430\u0442\u0444\u043e\u0440\u043c\u044b \u0438 \u0440\u0430\u0441\u0448\u0438\u0440\u044f\u044e\u0449\u0438\u0439\u0441\u044f \u043a\u0430\u043d\u0430\u043b \u0434\u043e\u0441\u0442\u0443\u043f\u0430 \u043a \u0434\u0430\u043d\u043d\u044b\u043c.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u041f\u043e\u043a\u0443\u043f\u0430\u0442\u0435\u043b\u0438 \u043f\u043e\u043b\u0443\u0447\u0430\u044e\u0442 \u0434\u0430\u043d\u043d\u044b\u0435 \u043e \u0432\u044b\u0431\u0440\u043e\u0441\u0430\u0445 \u0443\u0433\u043b\u0435\u0440\u043e\u0434\u0430 \u043e\u0442 \u043f\u043e\u0441\u0442\u0430\u0432\u0449\u0438\u043a\u043e\u0432 \u0441 \u043f\u043e\u043c\u043e\u0449\u044c\u044e \u0446\u0435\u043b\u043e\u0433\u043e \u0440\u044f\u0434\u0430 \u043c\u0435\u0445\u0430\u043d\u0438\u0437\u043c\u043e\u0432: \u043a\u043e\u0434\u0435\u043a\u0441\u043e\u0432 \u0438 \u043f\u0440\u0438\u043d\u0446\u0438\u043f\u043e\u0432 \u043f\u043e\u0441\u0442\u0430\u0432\u0449\u0438\u043a\u043e\u0432, \u043e\u043f\u0440\u0435\u0434\u0435\u043b\u044f\u044e\u0449\u0438\u0445 \u043e\u0436\u0438\u0434\u0430\u043d\u0438\u044f, \u0430\u043d\u043a\u0435\u0442 \u0434\u043b\u044f \u0437\u0430\u043a\u0443\u043f\u043e\u043a \u0438 \u043f\u043b\u0430\u0442\u0444\u043e\u0440\u043c, \u0442\u0430\u043a\u0438\u0445 \u043a\u0430\u043a CDP Supply Chain \u0438 EcoVadis, \u0430 \u0442\u0430\u043a\u0436\u0435, \u0434\u043b\u044f \u043a\u0440\u0443\u043f\u043d\u0435\u0439\u0448\u0438\u0445 \u0438\u0441\u0442\u043e\u0447\u043d\u0438\u043a\u043e\u0432 \u0432\u044b\u0431\u0440\u043e\u0441\u043e\u0432, \u043f\u0440\u044f\u043c\u044b\u0445 \u043f\u043b\u0430\u043d\u043e\u0432 \u0434\u0435\u043a\u0430\u0440\u0431\u043e\u043d\u0438\u0437\u0430\u0446\u0438\u0438.

Science-based targets add to it: a company with an approved SBTi target for Scope 3 typically commits to a share of suppliers setting their own targets, turning a buyer’s climate goal into a procurement requirement.<\/p>\n \u0412 \u0440\u0435\u0437\u0443\u043b\u044c\u0442\u0430\u0442\u0435 \u0434\u0430\u043d\u043d\u044b\u0435 \u043e \u0432\u044b\u0431\u0440\u043e\u0441\u0430\u0445 \u0443\u0433\u043b\u0435\u0440\u043e\u0434\u0430 \u043e\u0442 \u043f\u043e\u0441\u0442\u0430\u0432\u0449\u0438\u043a\u043e\u0432 \u043d\u0435\u0437\u0430\u043c\u0435\u0442\u043d\u043e \u0441\u0442\u0430\u043b\u0438 \u043a\u043e\u043c\u043c\u0435\u0440\u0447\u0435\u0441\u043a\u0438\u043c \u043a\u0432\u0430\u043b\u0438\u0444\u0438\u043a\u0430\u0446\u0438\u043e\u043d\u043d\u044b\u043c \u043a\u0440\u0438\u0442\u0435\u0440\u0438\u0435\u043c, \u0430 \u043d\u0435 \u043f\u0440\u043e\u0441\u0442\u043e \u043f\u0440\u0438\u043c\u0435\u0447\u0430\u043d\u0438\u0435\u043c \u043a \u0441\u043e\u0431\u043b\u044e\u0434\u0435\u043d\u0438\u044e \u0442\u0440\u0435\u0431\u043e\u0432\u0430\u043d\u0438\u0439. \u041a\u043e\u0433\u0434\u0430 \u043a\u0440\u0443\u043f\u043d\u0430\u044f \u043a\u043e\u043c\u043f\u0430\u043d\u0438\u044f \u043e\u0446\u0435\u043d\u0438\u0432\u0430\u0435\u0442 \u0438 \u0441\u043e\u0441\u0442\u0430\u0432\u043b\u044f\u0435\u0442 \u0441\u043f\u0438\u0441\u043e\u043a \u043f\u043e\u0442\u0435\u043d\u0446\u0438\u0430\u043b\u044c\u043d\u044b\u0445 \u043f\u043e\u0441\u0442\u0430\u0432\u0449\u0438\u043a\u043e\u0432, \u0434\u043e\u0441\u0442\u043e\u0432\u0435\u0440\u043d\u044b\u0439, \u043e\u0441\u043d\u043e\u0432\u043d\u043e\u0439 \u043f\u043e\u043a\u0430\u0437\u0430\u0442\u0435\u043b\u044c \u0432\u044b\u0431\u0440\u043e\u0441\u043e\u0432 Scope 3 \u0432\u0441\u0435 \u0447\u0430\u0449\u0435 \u0441\u0442\u0430\u043d\u043e\u0432\u0438\u0442\u0441\u044f \u043e\u0434\u043d\u0438\u043c \u0438\u0437 \u043a\u0440\u0438\u0442\u0435\u0440\u0438\u0435\u0432 \u043e\u0442\u0431\u043e\u0440\u0430 \u043d\u0430\u0440\u044f\u0434\u0443 \u0441 \u0446\u0435\u043d\u043e\u0439, \u043a\u0430\u0447\u0435\u0441\u0442\u0432\u043e\u043c \u0438 \u0441\u0440\u043e\u043a\u0430\u043c\u0438 \u043f\u043e\u0441\u0442\u0430\u0432\u043a\u0438. \u041f\u043e\u0441\u0442\u0430\u0432\u0449\u0438\u043a\u0438, \u043a\u043e\u0442\u043e\u0440\u044b\u0435 \u043c\u043e\u0433\u0443\u0442 \u043e\u0442\u0432\u0435\u0442\u0438\u0442\u044c \u043d\u0430 \u0432\u043e\u043f\u0440\u043e\u0441 \u043e \u0432\u044b\u0431\u0440\u043e\u0441\u0430\u0445 \u0443\u0433\u043b\u0435\u0440\u043e\u0434\u0430, \u0441\u043e\u0445\u0440\u0430\u043d\u044f\u044e\u0442 \u0441\u0432\u043e\u0435 \u043c\u0435\u0441\u0442\u043e \u0432 \u0441\u043f\u0438\u0441\u043a\u0435 \u0443\u0447\u0430\u0441\u0442\u043d\u0438\u043a\u043e\u0432 \u0442\u0435\u043d\u0434\u0435\u0440\u0430;
