As companies increasingly aim to report Scope 3 emissions and removals at more granular spatial scales, understanding how physical traceability can be achieved to enable this reporting is becoming critical. This publication provides technically rigorous yet practical guidance to help organizations: 

• - Understand the difference between traceability and CoC,
• - Learn about the requirements for physical traceability when used for GHG accounting,
• - Navigate practical examples of using Mass Balance CoC in agricultural value chains,
• - Understand when CoCs are effective and when CoCs are challenging to implement,
• - Explore complementary pathways for physical traceability when CoC cannot be scaled.
