Environmental responsibility is no longer optional – it’s essential. Global mandates are rapidly reshaping the landscape of climate disclosure, and IMPLAN is uniquely positioned to help organizations navigate it with confidence. In the US and abroad, new regulations require scope-based reporting. IMPLAN now empowers climate-conscious decision makers with powerful environmental data for US-based data offerings, capturing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by industry and region, and connecting them directly to economic impact results.

From Data to Carbon Insight

IMPLAN translates complex GHG data into carbon dioxide equivalents, expressed as Global Warming Potentials (GWPs), providing clarity and comparability. These emissions are now categorized using the globally recognized Scope 1, 2, and 3 framework:

Scope 1: Direct emissions from owned or controlled sources
Scope 2: Indirect emissions from purchased energy use
Scope 3: Other emissions due to activities from assets not owned or controlled by the reporting organization, such as supply chain impacts.

This categorization complements IMPLAN’s traditional Direct, Indirect, and Induced framework, delivering identical total emission values across both formats and preserving continuity for current users.

Built for Reporting Confidence

IMPLAN delivers Scope 1, 2, and 3 totals across all industries, measured in CO₂e over 20-, 100-, and 1000-year horizons. For deeper environmental benchmarking, industry-level data is available over a 100-year time span, aligning with EPA’s recommended reporting standard.
