Scope 1 · Direct
Emissions from sources your organisation owns or controls. In sport, examples can include fuel burned in an on-site boiler or a club-owned vehicle, and refrigerant leaks.

Understanding emissions
Read your emissions with confidence.
Understand what a total includes, what changed and which questions to ask before deciding on an action.
Three scopes. Different sources.
Scope 2 · Purchased energy
Indirect emissions from purchased electricity, heat, steam or cooling. Electricity bought for floodlights or a training building is a familiar example.
Scope 3 · Value chain
Other indirect emissions in the organisation’s value chain, such as purchased goods or business travel. Which activities are included depends on the boundary and coverage of the inventory.
Check the context before comparing.
Same period, same coverage
Compare equivalent dates and sites. If a training ground was added halfway through the year, a higher total may reflect wider coverage rather than higher consumption at every site.
Total and intensity answer different questions
Total emissions describe the footprint within the stated boundary. Emissions per visitor or per event describe an intensity. A lower intensity does not necessarily mean lower total emissions.
Review the evidence before acting
Look for missing records, estimates and changes in activity. Check recommendations against your site conditions and supplier quotes. Estimated savings and payback periods are not guarantees.
These are general reporting concepts, not a statement that every source or reporting requirement is covered by your NoSix account. Check what is included before sharing a result.
