The private flights are the hole in your Scope 3 report.
An independent, cited emissions statement for charter and private business travel — the Category 6 figure you can actually put in front of an auditor, built on a documented methodology, not an operator's word.
per GHG Protocol
Every other category has a source. This one has a guess.
Your Scope 3 report is coming together — except for the private and charter flights. The operator gives you nothing usable, or a self-reported figure with no methodology behind it. So you estimate.
And you already know the one category built on a guess is the one your auditor will circle.
“We estimated it” is not an answer that survives an audit.
An emissions figure you can't trace to a method is a figure you can't defend — and Category 6 is exactly where scrutiny is heading. A number you have to restate is a credibility problem in front of your board.
The deadline is fixed, and the standard is rising.
The flights you're estimating today are the line item an assurer will want sourced tomorrow.
Reporting windows don't move, and the bar for what counts as defensible climbs every cycle — CSRD and assurance requirements are tightening precisely around the categories that used to get a pass. Building the defensible version after the report is filed is building it too late.
A number you can defend, because an estimate isn't one.
Built from ADS-B flight data on the EUROCONTROL EMEP/EEA methodology, it produces a tank-to-wake figure that traces to a documented method — cross-operator and independent of the people being measured. The Category 6 line you can hand to an assurer.
Independent figure
Cross-operator, not self-reported — measured independently of the people being measured.
Cited methodology
Traceable end to end — every figure ties back to a documented, repeatable model.
Audit-ready
Built for assurance, not estimation — structured to sit in front of a reviewer.
The hard category, covered
The private and charter flights nothing else reaches — the gap in every Scope 3 report.

An offset certificate doesn't close the gap.
Plenty of operators hand over a carbon-offset certificate and call ESG handled. But under the GHG Protocol, offsets are disclosed separately — they don't reduce the gross Category 6 figure your assurer signs off. The number you have to report is still the gross one. This is the figure that produces it.
Gross Scope 3 Cat 6, tank-to-wake, modelled on EUROCONTROL EMEP/EEA 2023 (ICAO-aligned). Offsets disclosed separately per the GHG Protocol; not netted against gross.
What the guess costs when it's finally questioned.
File the estimate and you carry a number you can't stand behind into the one conversation where you'll have to. A restatement that undoes the credibility of the rest of the report is far cheaper to close now than to explain later.
A figure you can't trace, questioned in front of your board — and the credibility of the whole report questioned with it.
A cited, independent Category 6 figure — the defensible version, built before the report is filed rather than after.
