Scope 3 for Indian exporters: the category that decides the number
For most manufacturers, Scope 1 and 2 are a fraction of the real footprint. This piece looks at why Scope 3 — purchased materials, logistics, and product use — usually dominates, and where exporters should start measuring first.

Draft outline: (1) why Scope 3 usually exceeds Scope 1 and 2 combined for manufacturers, (2) a practical materiality screen across the 15 categories, (3) spend-based vs activity-based estimation, (4) how Scope 3 data feeds CBAM, BRSR, and SBTi simultaneously.
