	Scope 1, 2, and 3 is a perspective concept part of the [[~~GHG_Protocol_~~(Greenhouse_Gas)\|Greenhouse Gas Protocol]], and the values are therefore dependent on the perspective. The direct emissions of one company (Scope 1) can be the indirect emissions of another company (Scope 3) within the lifecycle of a single product. And Scope 3 is split into upstream (emissions by others before me in the life cycle) and downstream Emissions by other companies or consumers after my operations in the life cycle) in every perspective. So, there isn't something like a Scope 3 value per product.

	When '''exchanging''' the Carbon Footprint value for individual items, it is essential to associate each value with a specific [[TX_-_LCAterms\|LCAterm]] (Life Cycle Assessment Term) and the related geographic [[ID_-~~_Identifier_types~~\|location]]. This practice is analogous to how pricing is tied to an Incoterm in commercial transactions. The LCAterm provides crucial context by defining the scope and boundaries of the lifecycle assessment for that item. It includes details such as the stages of the product lifecycle covered (e.g., from raw material extraction to end-of-life disposal), the geographical scope, and any specific processes or stages that are included or excluded in the calculation.

	Providing a Carbon Footprint value without an accompanying [[TX_-_LCAterms\|LCAterm]] would be similar to stating a price without specifying the associated Incoterm; it lacks the necessary context for interpretation and comparison. Just as Incoterms clarify terms of trade, LCAterms ensure that the reported Carbon Footprint values are clear, consistent, and meaningful, facilitating accurate comparisons and informed decision-making. It is therefore imperative that each Carbon Footprint value reported is accompanied by a clearly defined LCAterm to ensure transparency and reliability in sustainability reporting.
