Scope 1 Emissions
Direct greenhouse gas emissions from sources owned or controlled by an organization, such as company vehicles and on-site fuel combustion.
In practice
For a borrower, Scope 1 is the fuel burned on site: a boiler, a generator, a fleet. For the bank, those emissions arrive through the loan as financed emissions, not as the bank's own Scope 1.
