SCOPE Act of 2026

This bill directs the Environmental Protection Agency to create a study and publish guidance on how companies should calculate and report their scope 3 emissions, which are indirect greenhouse gas emissions from their supply chains and product use. The EPA would determine which facilities must report and establish methods for tracking emissions from upstream and downstream activities in the value chain. The guidance would include specific thresholds for reporting, calculation methods, monitoring frequency recommendations, and recordkeeping requirements for covered facilities. This legislation focuses on standardizing how industrial facilities report their broader environmental impact beyond their own direct operations.
