What is GHG Protocol?
The Greenhouse Gas Protocol is the world’s most-used set of standards for measuring greenhouse gas emissions. It defines Scope 1 (direct emissions), Scope 2 (purchased energy) and Scope 3 (everything else in the value chain), and includes the Corporate Standard, Scope 2 Guidance and the Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Standard. Most regulations, including ISSB, ESRS and California SB 253, build on it.
Who it applies to
Voluntary on its own, but required in practice almost everywhere because reporting rules point to it.

Common questions about GHG Protocol
What are Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions?
Scope 1 is direct emissions from sources you own or control. Scope 2 is emissions from the electricity, steam, heat or cooling you buy. Scope 3 is all other indirect emissions in your value chain, such as purchased goods, travel and product use.
