Draft — full article coming soon.

This topic is confirmed and the outline below reflects what the published article will cover. The full text has not been written yet — nothing on this page should be read as finished editorial content.

This article is a placeholder. The published version will explain the GHG Protocol's 15 Scope 3 categories, how to screen them for materiality, and how exporters can build a defensible interim estimate before supplier-level data exists.

Draft outline: (1) why Scope 3 usually exceeds Scope 1 and 2 combined for manufacturers, (2) a practical materiality screen across the 15 categories, (3) spend-based vs activity-based estimation, (4) how Scope 3 data feeds CBAM, BRSR, and SBTi simultaneously.

Full article coming soon.
