Subject. The activity of a trading and manufacturing company that supplies energy-intensive compressor equipment, whose carbon footprint is formed mainly during the operation phase by customers. Objectives. Formation and testing of an algorithm for calculating greenhouse gas emissions by Scope 3 (Scope 3), taking into account the specifics of energy-intensive products, the Russian regulatory framework and the international nature of the process of selling industrial products. The development of a carbon footprint management tool was carried out using the example of a commercial and manufacturing enterprise specializing in the supply of compressors from abroad to Russia. Methods. The international standards ISO 14064, GHG Protocol, Life Cycle Assessment methods and domestic regulations (orders of the Ministry of Natural Resources of Russia) are used as theoretical foundations. The methodological approach is based on simulation modeling and economic estimates of the costs of production and sales processes. The coverage 3 emissions calculation algorithm includes an assessment of logistics, warehousing, sales office activities, product delivery, and equipment operation by end users. For simulation, real data from the Compressor Center company was used. Results. A quantitative assessment of the carbon footprint at all stages of the product lifecycle has been performed. It is shown that the main share of Scope 3 emissions is made up of the operation of compressor equipment by consumers, significantly exceeding emissions from logistics and office activities. It has been established that the introduction of energy-efficient technologies can lead to a significant reduction in the carbon footprint and a positive economic effect. Conclusions. The developed author's methodology for calculating coverage 3 allows us to justify the optimization of the product portfolio in favor of low-carbon solutions. The development prospects are related to the introduction of market-based emission management mechanisms and the improvement of Russian regulatory practices.
