Scope 3 emissions from franchises
Operational Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions of franchisees that are not included in the franchisor’s Scope 1 or Scope 2 inventory.
Metric family relationship
One category result, retained inside its family
This is the quantitative Category 14 component of Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions by category. It has a fixed category boundary and a separate reported value; the parent preserves the consolidated fifteen-category table.

Reporting method
How to report this child metric
Report the category result in tCO₂e using a method permitted for this category. There is no honest universal arithmetic formula across every activity and data-quality method.
- Reported
- A numeric category amount is provided with its method and data coverage.
- Not applicable
- The category does not apply and the reason is stated; this is not a numeric zero.
- Justified exclusion
- The category is excluded with an explicit rationale; this is not a numeric zero.
Required context
- Reporting entity, period, organisational boundary and value-chain boundary
- Covered gases and the global-warming-potential source and edition
- Category calculation method, activity data, emission factors and assumptions
- Primary-data coverage and any estimation or extrapolation used
