     organisation that release emissions straight into the atmosphere. They are direct emissions. Examples of scope 1 
     emissions include emissions from combustion in owned or controlled boilers, furnaces, vehicles; emissions from 
     chemical production in owned or controlled process equipment. •	Scope 2 (Energy indirect): Emissions being 
     released into the atmosphere associated with your consumption of purchased electricity, heat, steam and cooling. 
     These are indirect emissions that are a consequence of your organisation’s activities but which occur at sources 
     you do not own or control. •	Scope 3 (Other indirect): Emissions that are a consequence of your actions, 
     which occur at sources which you do not own or control and which are not classed as scope 2 emissions. Examples 
     of scope 3 emissions are business travel by means not owned or controlled by your organisation, waste disposal, 
     or purchased materials or fuels. Beyond scope 3 emissions, the GHG hierarchy also provides options to take 
     additional measures to “substitute, reduce and avoid” GHG emissions. These might include purchasing renewable 
     energy, carbon offsetting or woodland creation as a carbon sink"""},

     aren’t “challenging enough”. As pointed out by Tony Smith, chief executive of CCWater, suppliers’ failures to 
     address leakage issues can have a negative effect on consumer attitudes to water saving. Leakage figures have 
     been reduced by a third since the mid-1990s and Ofwat has proposed suppliers work towards a 15% leak reduction 
     between 2020 and 2025. Continued pressure by these organisations means consumers will benefit from the 
     associated effect improvements will have on their water bills. Viewed within a broader context, the wastefulness
