What was included in the measurement of CNC wineries’ emissions?
Scope 1 and Scope 2 are included in almost all mandatory and voluntary reporting schemes, and are required by the California Climate Action Registry, The Climate Registry, and EPA Climate Leaders. The separation of Scopes ensures that no double accounting occurs at the regional level when greenhouse gas emissions are aggregated. Scope 1 and Scope 2 are typically the emissions categories companies use when calculating a carbon footprint and developing plans to minimize their carbon impact. Scope 3 emissions are part of the product lifecycle and are therefore critical for calculating and managing full lifecycle impact and value-chain emissions. While emerging national standards simply require accounting for Scope 1 and 2 emissions, the Oregon wineries participating in the CNC recognize the importance of capturing the emissions related information that occurs in transport and packaging, which have an impact on their carbon footprint. In 2009, the CNC participating wineries were encouraged
