Reduce your Scope 3 emissions with employee benefits

How can your employee benefits package help reduce business Scope 3 carbon emissions? Find out below.

What are Scope 3 emissions?

As it stands today, greenhouse gas emissions are categorised into three groups or ‘Scopes’.

Scope 1 covers direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, Scope 2 covers indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, steam and heat, and Scope 3 includes all other indirect emissions that occur in a company’s value chain.

What few businesses realise is that reducing Scope 3 emissions and including them in net zero carbon targets can deliver substantial business benefits, as well as the potential to prevent the worst impacts of climate change.

Employee benefits can help reduce business Scope 3 carbon emissions in three key areas.

  • Employee commuting
  • Investments
  • Purchased goods and services

The benefits that make a difference

So, what are the employee benefits that can help reduce Scope 3 emissions?

Employee commuting

  • Offer employees electric cars via salary sacrifice and/or leasing
  • Offer employees fuel cards that offset carbon emission

Investments

  • Transfer your company pension to a Net Zero Now, carbon neutral pension.
  • Flexible savings products like Stocks and Shares ISAs, LISAs, and Cash ISAs, to ensure every employee has access to save the way they want to, depending on what’s important to them.

Purchased goods and services

  • Purchase more ethically focused goods and services for your employees, like medical insurance, life insurance, etc
