Whose scope is the electricity and cooking fuel at a construction labour camp?

If the camp runs on your electricity connection or your genset, it is your Scope 2 or Scope 1. If the contractor runs the camp on its own supply, it is the contractor's Scope 1 and 2 and your Scope 3. LPG supplied for workers' cooking follows whoever buys it.

Check

• Whose name is on the electricity bill or temporary connection.
• Who buys the genset diesel.
• Who supplies the LPG cylinders.

Write it down

State in the contract who reports camp energy, so neither side leaves it out or both count it.

What Senseible does here

Senseible reads bills, fuel invoices and production records into dated, fingerprinted records, so the figure you send a buyer can be traced to its documents.

• Contractor genset or temporary grid
• Staff quarters electricity
