Definition: Level of all main emissions by scope according to methodology of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. Scope 3 was adjusted in order to harmonize the scope with the climate protection target. This applies to both the reporting year and the previous year.
The following sources of emissions are included:
- Scope 1: fuel oil, natural gas, liquefied natural gas (LNG), liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), refrigerant emissions from commercial cooling and air-conditioning as well as fuel consumption by company cars, fleet of our own logistics vehicles (FoV) and emergency power generators.
- Scope 2: electricity, heating and cooling energy consumption
- Scope 3: in-house paper consumption for advertising material and office purposes, business trips and upstream chain emissions and grid losses for all direct and indirect energy sources
A reduction of 45.6% of the above-mentioned absolute figures with regard to Scope 1, 2 and 3 has been achieved since 2011.
