Scope 3 emissions are divided into 15 different categories, although not all categories are considered material for an Organization.

In this context, the GHG emissions that stand out are associated with the acquisition of raw materials, the transport of goods and services upstream and downstream, the waste generated in operations, the business trips made, the commuting of workers between their homes and their workplaces, the emissions related to the use of the respective products and the GHG generated in the treatment of these at the end of their life.

Monitoring and managing Scope 3 emissions in the automotive sector is essential for companies to assess and reduce their environmental impact throughout the value chain. Likewise, initiatives in this field often end up generating leverage effects, promoting the adoption of good environmental practices among a large number of stakeholders.

The development of the Decarbonization Roadmap for the National Automotive Sector will take these same factors into consideration in order to effectively reduce the impact of these industries on the environment and, at the same time, contribute to greater adaptation and resilience of organizations to future climate challenges.
