• Scope 1 Emissions – Direct Carbon Footprint

Scope 1 emissions are direct greenhouse gas emissions from sources that your business owns or controls. These include:

• Fuel consumption in company vehicles
• On-site energy usage, such as boilers or generators
• Emissions from manufacturing processes

For example, a logistics company operating a fleet of trucks in Dubai will have Scope 1 emissions from the fuel burned by its vehicles. Accurately measuring these emissions is crucial for identifying areas of improvement and setting carbon reduction targets.

• Scope 2 Emissions – Indirect Carbon Footprint

Scope 2 emissions are indirect emissions resulting from the consumption of purchased energy, including:

• Electricity used in offices, factories, or retail outlets
• Steam, heating, and cooling purchased from utilities

Even though Scope 2 emissions occur outside your immediate operations, they are a vital part of your overall carbon footprint, and tracking them helps businesses improve energy efficiency and reduce operational costs.

By monitoring both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, UAE businesses can align with regulatory requirements, such as the UAE Federal Climate Law and international climate reporting frameworks like CDP and TCFD, while demonstrating ESG accountability.
