# GHG Protocol emission scope (`ghg_protocol_scope`)

> **Draft.** Draft records have not been reviewed yet and may be incomplete or wrong; do not treat them as authoritative for legal or compliance decisions.

Scope of a company's greenhouse gas emissions under the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard. Scope 1 is direct emissions from sources the company owns or controls, Scope 2 indirect emissions from purchased electricity, steam, heat and cooling, and Scope 3 all other indirect emissions in the value chain, which the Scope 3 Standard divides into 15 categories. Corporate sustainability reports and emission data sets use these labels. The regexp accepts only Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3, not bare numbers or Scope 3 category labels.

- Personal data (PII): no
- Categories: Environment (protected areas, biodiversity, water, weather, emissions, waste) (environment), Companies/business/organizations (companies)
- Countries: global
- Languages: English (en)
- Classification: categorical

## Detection

Regular expression (Python `re`):

```
^(?:Scope|scope|SCOPE) [123]$
```

## Examples

- `Scope 1` — Direct emissions from owned or controlled sources; GHG Protocol Corporate Standard
- `Scope 2` — Indirect emissions from purchased energy; GHG Protocol Corporate Standard
- `Scope 3` — Other indirect value chain emissions; GHG Protocol Scope 3 Standard
- `Scope 4` (invalid example) — The GHG Protocol defines only three scopes

## Translations

- ru: Область охвата выбросов по GHG Protocol: Область охвата выбросов парниковых газов компании по стандарту GHG Protocol — прямые (Scope 1), косвенные от покупной энергии (Scope 2) и прочие косвенные в цепочке создания стоимости (Scope 3).
