Reporting this krona under the GHG Protocol
This period
Scope 3, categories 1 and 4
Goods and services you buy are Scope 3, category 1, purchased goods and services.
Delivery to you is category 4, upstream transport.
What happens at your own site, the fuel you burn and what the goods release while you use them, is your Scope 1.
Waste you handle at the end of its life is category 5, waste generated in operations, in the year it happens.
Later, when it happens
During use
- Scope 1 Scope 2 Scope 3, categories 1, 3 and 5
At end of life

One footprint, in every year's money
Upphandlingsmyndigheten priced this supply chain in 2023 SEK. For every other year we restate the same emissions with the Sweden price index, so money you spent in 2015 is read at 2015 prices. Pick the year of your spend.
- Published by Upphandlingsmyndigheten, 2023 SEK
- Re-priced with the Sweden price indexRe-priced, not re-measuredSame emissions per real unit of spend, expressed in that year's SEK. Money spent in 2015 bought 1.28 times what the same sum buys in 2023, so it carries 1.28 times the emissions: 12.6 × 1.28 = 16.1.The figure under each year is that multiplier, with 2023 = 1.

Which price, and which warming horizon
Match the price to your invoice, and keep one warming horizon across your whole inventory.
Purchaser price or producer price
The purchaser price is what you paid: the producer's price plus the wholesale and retail margins and the transport to the shop. Upphandlingsmyndigheten publishes purchaser prices, what you paid.
Warming horizon and characterisation model
This factor is published for one set only: Unknown, 100 years. Every other horizon and model: not published.
