What are Scope 4 & 5 Emissions

What are Scope 4 & 5 emissions?

You’ve probably heard of Scope 1, 2, and 3.

But few talk about Scope 4 and 5.

Scope 4 = Avoided Emissions

It’s not just about reducing your own emissions—it’s about helping others cut theirs.

Think EVs, solar panels, green tech. Companies that create these solutions enable consumers to reduce their footprint.

🌍 Scope 5 = Influence Emissions

It’s not about what a company emits directly or indirectly—but how it influences the world.

✅ Advocating for climate policies? This means the company is driving change – positive infleuence

❌ Greenwashing or blocking climate action? This means the company is adding to the problem – more emissions

So, should businesses be accountable for this?
