Executive Summary
Use of Sold Product (Category 11) emissions are the second most prominent category of Scope 3 emissions – and are capable of accounting for over half of a firm’s total emissions inventory in certain manufacturing industries and the fossil fuels sector. These emissions are notoriously difficult to measure and even harder to reduce. Accounting best practice involves utilizing telemetry data, industry methodologies and specialized software functionality. Firms can abate their Category 11 emissions, depending on their product characteristics and industry context, in up to four ways: through product change, component change, behavioural change or destination change.
