MetricClimate and greenhouse gas emissions

Gross direct greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 1)

Measurement answer

What this metric measures

Gross direct greenhouse gas emissions are reporting-period emissions from stationary combustion, mobile combustion, industrial processes and fugitive sources inside the declared organizational boundary. Covered non-carbon-dioxide gases are converted to carbon dioxide equivalent using the declared 100-year global-warming-potential edition.

Reporting boundary

Direct emissions within the declared organizational boundary from carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, sulphur hexafluoride and nitrogen trifluoride. Removals, credits and allowances are not deducted. Direct biogenic carbon dioxide is reported separately, while biomass-related methane and nitrous oxide remain in Scope 1.

Cross-library identity

Library mappings and variants

These links compare quantity, population, boundary, period, unit, denominator, aggregation, dimensions, and method edition. Partial relationships are navigation aids only and never authorize observation reuse.

Evidence and status sources

Sustopedia checked each record-specific claim directly against primary publisher material. Labels distinguish current measurement authority from future compatibility and corroborative, legal, edition, or method status context. Corroborative evidence can support a stated limitation but cannot establish the core measurement by itself.

Measurement evidence

  • Measurement evidenceChecked 15 August 2026

    Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/2772 of 31 July 2023 supplementing Directive 2013/34/EU as regards sustainability reporting standards

Interpretation boundaries

Method disclosures required

Source-edition basis: Current in-force ESRS consolidated as of 1 January 2025

  • Consolidation approach and organizational perimeter
  • 100-year global-warming-potential edition
  • Emission-factor sources and vintages
  • Direct-measurement and estimation shares
  • Source coverage, exclusions and recalculation policy
  • EU ETS treatment

Record-specific limitations

  • Results are not comparable when organizational boundaries, global-warming-potential editions, emission factors or source completeness differ.
  • Gross Scope 1 emissions do not represent removals, avoided emissions, allowance positions or a net climate impact.
  • Direct measurement, mass-balance and source-specific activity-factor methods can produce materially different uncertainty profiles.

Interpret this metric with the stated reporting boundary, period convention, value shape, and unit. Results prepared with different boundaries or conventions may not be directly comparable.

Measurement evidence supports the core record-specific claims described above. Corroborative evidence can support limitations, while compatibility and status sources provide their separately labelled context. None of these cards by itself determines an organisation's legal applicability, filing readiness, assurance status, or compliance conclusion.
