✈️Business Travel

This category includes emissions from the transportation of employees for business related activities in vehicles owned or operated by third parties, such as aircraft, trains, buses, and passenger cars.

Emissions from business travel may arise from:

• Air travel

• Rail travel

• Bus travel

• Automobile travel (e.g., business travel in rental cars or employee-owned vehicles other than employee commuting to and from work)

• Other modes of travel.

• Staying in hotels.

Methods to Calculate

Companies may use one of the following methods to calculate scope 3 emissions from business travel:

Fuel-Based

Fuel-based method, which involves determining the amount of fuel consumed during business travel (i.e., scope 1 and scope 2 emissions of transport providers) and applying the appropriate emission factor for that fuel

Distance Based

Distance-based method, which involves determining the distance and mode of business trips, then applying the appropriate emission factor for the mode used

Spend based

Spend-based method, which involves determining the amount of money spent on each mode of business travel transport and applying secondary (EEIO) emission factors.

CarbonZE is able to use both spent-based and Distance Based activity data, using average emission factors for distance.

Spend based data can be entered in Euro.

Distance based data entered as the number of flights, car drives, train travels per long and short distance varying accordingly.
