We calculate our greenhouse gas emissions based on widely-accepted international standards including the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol) standards, the Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard as well as the Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Accounting and Reporting Standard and the Global Logistics Emissions Council (GLEC) Framework.

We have a comprehensive subcontractor management system and include environmental performance among our subcontractor selection criteria. We take part in initiatives to reduce fuel consumption and lower greenhouse gas emissions, and do this together with our subcontractors.

In particular, Scope 3 emissions – a large part of your company’s carbon footprint – can be tricky to calculate because they usually originate in areas outside your ...

Often referred to as value chain emissions, Scope 3 emissions are typically the largest contributor to a company’s total GHG emissions. Upstream emissions are associated with external suppliers and the production of goods or services it purchases.

Emissions from purchased electricity or own use Investments Scope 2 covers the indirect emissions associated with the company from the generation of the electricity and heating energy they purchase and use.
