How do I work out emissions from my sales team's travel across the country?

Use the travel bills you already approve: train and air tickets, taxi receipts, bus fares and fuel claims. Group them by mode, take distance or fuel, and apply a factor per mode. Field sales travel is Scope 3 Category 6 unless the vehicles are company-owned.

By mode

• Air: origin and destination from the ticket.
• Rail: distance between stations.
• Taxi and own car: kilometres or fuel.
• Company-owned vehicles: Scope 1 instead.

Keep it light

Start with the three biggest modes by spend. Small fares rarely change the total.
