Carbon Accounting and Supply Chain Emissions

On the 5th of September, 17 AusLSA members met to discuss the range of greenhouse gas information we currently collect and what more we need to learn to understand our emissions. 

The session covered an overview of emissions sources including direct emissions and indirect missions. We discussed scope three emission categories and the key supply chain emissions for law firms

Understanding the greenhouse gas emissions that result from law firms running their business and servicing their clients is a critical part of planning for emissions reduction. Unfortunately, getting complete high-quality information to set priorities and measure the impacts of our reduction efforts is not straightforward.

Join us to discuss the greenhouse gas measurement we currently do and what more we need to learn to understand our emissions
