What is B Corp?

A B Corp (Benefit Corporation) is a certification awarded to for-profit companies that meet rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. B Corps are dedicated to balancing profit with purpose, working to create positive impacts for employees, communities, customers, and the environment. Certified by the nonprofit B Lab, companies must undergo a thorough assessment to prove their commitment to sustainability, ethical governance, and social responsibility. B Corp certification is a trusted symbol of integrity, signifying that a company is using business as a force for good while upholding high operational standards. SCB’s B Corp certification affirms to our stakeholders that we are accountable, transparent, and constantly working to make a meaningful, positive impact through responsible and sustainable business practices.

What are carbon emissions?

Carbon emissions refer to the release of carbon dioxide (CO₂) and other greenhouse gases (GHGs) into the atmosphere, primarily as a result of human activities such as burning fossil fuels (like coal, oil, and natural gas), deforestation, and industrial processes. These emissions contribute to the greenhouse effect, where gases trap heat in the Earth’s atmosphere, leading to global warming and climate change. While CO₂ is the most prevalent greenhouse gas, other gases like methane (CH₄) and nitrous oxide (N₂O) are also significant contributors. Reducing carbon emissions is a critical step in mitigating climate change and achieving sustainability goals.

What are Scope 3 SAFs?

Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Certified Emission Reductions (CERs) are verified instruments that allow organizations to claim the environmental benefits of using SAF, even when physical SAF supply is not available where they are flying. These certificates directly address Scope 3 emissions—specifically, indirect emissions from business travel and freight transport.

Why does Scope 3 matter?

For many companies, Scope 3 upstream emissions represent over 70% of their total carbon footprint (World Economic Forum). Even when avoiding travel is not possible, you can still drive credible climate action by purchasing Scope 3 SAFs. Doing so supports the transition to low-carbon aviation while aligning with global frameworks such as SBTi.

What is SCB’s role in decarbonizing aviation?

SCB supports airlines, corporate buyers, and fuel suppliers in developing tailored solutions that accelerate the adoption of SAF. Through our Scope 3 SAF platform, clients can access high-quality, traceable certificates that meet international sustainability and chain-of-custody standards.
