What are Scope 3 Category 4 emissions?

Scope 3 Category 4 (Upstream Transportation & Distribution) includes emissions from the transportation and distribution of products purchased by the reporting company between its Tier 1 suppliers and its own operations in vehicles not owned / operated by the reporting company.

<aside> 👉🏼 Note that the Unravel Carbon engine automatically calculates upstream transport emissions from third party logistics providers transporting your purchased goods from suppliers to your business facility. If you have your own Transportation data, please follow the steps below to upload the data, and inform the Unravel Carbon team that you wish to upload your own data.
