AFGC launches new resource to aid in Scope 3 emissions reporting

19 August 2025

The AFGC is committed to supporting members in meeting their climate reporting obligations and progressing toward the Net Zero targets set by the Australian Government.

We recently launched our new Scope 3 Emissions Reporting Workbook to help members comply with annual sustainability reporting requirements under Section 292A of the Corporations Act. It includes Australian-sourced emissions factors to support the calculation of greenhouse gas emissions associated with purchased goods and services.

Please note that the Workbook only provides factors that represent midpoint estimates within a broader range of potential values. These emission factors are estimates only. They are designed to estimate the relative contributions of emission sources in a single entity. It may not be suitable for any other purpose such as for tracking emission reductions over time or product comparisons.

By streamlining climate reporting, this work will support the sector’s contribution to national Net Zero goals while strengthening transparency, accuracy and collaboration across the entire value chain.
