By contrast, there are already greater requirements placed on some private sector firms to measure and report their scope 3 emissions. Firms bidding, for example, for government contracts worth over £5 million are required to report five categories of scope 3 emissions (in total there are 15 categories of scope 3 emissions).23 Since 2019, the reporting requirements set by BEIS for the private sector highly recommend, but do not mandate, larger firms to report their scope 3 emissions.24 The government expects that the recommendations of the international Taskforce on Climate-related Financial Disclosures will be fully mandatory across the UK by 2025, which will require greater consideration to be given to scope 3 emissions.25
