The new Scope 3 emissions guidance sets out how the emissions of buildings in operation can achieve net zero carbon<\/h2>\n

The new Scope 3 emissions guidance will transform the ability of those who run and manage services in buildings, enabling them to measure and reduce emissions directly and across their supply chains<\/a> to help them meet COP26 carbon reduction targets.<\/p>\n

The guidance will empower property developers and estates managers to identify and reduce emissions<\/h3>\n

The new guidance, issued jointly by the Sustainable Facilities Management Index (SFMI)<\/a> with the support and assistance of facilities management business BAM FM, upskills those in the facilities management (FM) sector<\/a> to measure \u201cScope 3\u201d emissions, to identify responsibilities for reporting these, and explains how to capture and reduce emissions in line with the COP26 1.5~ target.<\/p>\n

Until now, FM greenhouse gas emissions have only included energy consumption in buildings.<\/p>\n

The guidance would capture a much wider range of emissions relating, for example, to travel to and from buildings, materials used in its maintenance, and even food supplied in canteens.<\/p>\n

Lowering emissions across the supply chain and product lifecycle to reach net zero emissions<\/h3>\n

The new Scope 3 emissions guidance will significantly extend the capacity of property developers and estates managers to lower emissions from the outset of discussions about new contracts and new buildings<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sunil Shah, SFMI founder, commented: \u201cAn FM\u2019s carbon impact is larger than many will report. This is exacerbated by the explosion of net-zero targets that have been announced by providers. So, many FMs are actively or inadvertently \u2018scoping out\u2019 emissions from their inventories to make hitting an arbitrary net-zero target easier.<\/p>\n

“By doing this the industry is not positioning itself as a solution to the problem we have of reducing GHG emissions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reid Cunningham BAM FM\u2019s strategic development director, said:<\/p>\n

\u201cScope 3 missions are the next part of the decarbonisation challenge for the built environment. This new guidance will bridge a vital gap and enable FM providers and customers and supply chains to use a standard approach to measuring emissions that will enable the whole industry to come together effectively to achieve net zero<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince COP26 in Glasgow, there has been a desire for more reporting measures for carbon and energy and to encourage supply chains to drive down emissions in a consistent way.\u201d<\/p>\n
