One heavily discussed topic across the panels and show floor was how critical it is to measure your company\u2019s emissions. Many businesses are now focusing on accurately measuring and reporting scope<\/span>\u00a03\u00a0<\/span>emissions,\u00a0<\/span>which can account<\/span>\u00a0for around 90% of a company\u2019s total carbon output and 75% of its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, according to the\u00a0<\/span>Environmental Protection Agency<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
