Do you know GHG Protocol, and how does it define and categorize emissions?

The Greenhouse Gas Protocol provides a standardized framework for businesses to measure and manage their greenhouse gas emissions. It breaks down emissions into three scopes to help organizations understand where emissions come from and how to address them.

Scope 1 covers direct emissions that come from sources owned or controlled by the reporting company.Scope 2 focuses on indirect emissions that result from the consumption of purchased energy.Scope 3 is a broader category that includes all other indirect emissions occurring across the value chain, including both upstream and downstream emissions.

Upstream activities refer to the emissions associated with the production and transportation of the goods and services a company purchases. For hoteliers , this means that the products they source—from raw materials to the final items used in their operations—contribute to their overall environmental impact. As a sustainable hotel supplier in hospitality, we are proud to offer our carbon-neutral key cards, certified in accordance with the ISO 14068 and verified by TÜV SÜD. This provides a valuable service for hospitality properties, helping them make environmentally-responsible decisions while reducing their indirect emissions especially from upstream activities.

Let's work together—every green choice count. Even small changes can make a significant impact on the environment.
