3.8 Describe the calculation methodology and comment on the data accuracy, including any tools/methods used to calculate.
*. Calculation Methods
We use internationally recognized greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting methodologies to calculate Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. Specifically, we follow the standards outlined in the GHG Protocol and ISO 14064 for calculating both direct and indirect emissions. Below is an overview of the calculation methods used:
Scope 1 Emissions Calculation:
Scope 1 emissions are direct greenhouse gas emissions from sources owned or controlled by the company, such as company-owned vehicles, manufacturing equipment, and facilities. The calculation process involves the following steps:
Energy Consumption Data Collection: We gather data on all direct energy consumption, including fuel usage (e.g., diesel, natural gas) and other sources of energy consumption (e.g., company vehicle fuel usage).
Application of Emission Factors: We apply internationally recognized emission factors (e.g., IPCC emission factors or national government-provided emission factors) to convert energy consumption data into greenhouse gas emissions data.
Calculation Formula:
Emissions=Energy Consumption×Emission Factor
Where energy consumption is derived from actual usage data, and the emission factor represents the carbon intensity of the energy used.
Scope 2 Emissions Calculation:
Scope 2 emissions refer to indirect emissions from the consumption of purchased electricity, steam, heating, and cooling. To calculate Scope 2 emissions, we use the following process:
Electricity Consumption Data Collection: We collect electricity consumption data for all of our office locations and production facilities.
Electricity Emission Factors: We use the emission factors provided by the electricity suppliers (based on the carbon intensity of the electricity grid) or data from the Electricity Emission Factor Database.
Calculation Formula:
Scope 2 Emissions=Electricity Consumption×Electricity Emission Factor
The electricity consumption data is obtained from our annual utility bills, and the emission factor is determined based on the energy mix in the region.
2. Tools and Methods Used
To ensure the accuracy and consistency of the data, we rely on the following tools and methods:
GHG Protocol: This protocol provides a comprehensive framework for greenhouse gas accounting and reporting, ensuring that our emissions calculations follow globally accepted standards.
IPCC Emission Factors: We use emission factors published by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to standardize the conversion of energy consumption into greenhouse gas emissions data.
Energy Management Software: We utilize energy management software (e.g., Energy Star Portfolio Manager or SAP EHS) to automate the data collection and emissions calculation process, increasing both accuracy and efficiency.
Supplier Data: For Scope 2 emissions, we use emission factors provided directly by our electricity suppliers to ensure the accuracy of our electricity-related emissions data.
3. Data Accuracy and Comments
We have implemented several measures to ensure the accuracy and reliability of our emissions data:
Reliability of Data Sources: All emissions calculations are based on verified energy consumption data, such as annual utility bills, fuel purchase records, and the emission factors provided by electricity suppliers and reputable databases.
Validation of Tools: The emission factors and tools we use come from internationally recognized and authoritative sources (e.g., IPCC, energy suppliers, and government-published databases), ensuring the consistency and reliability of our calculations.
Data Updates: We regularly update our energy consumption data and emission factors to reflect the most current energy usage patterns and carbon intensity changes. For instance, electricity emission factors are adjusted annually to account for shifts in the energy grid composition.
Auditing and Verification: To further ensure data accuracy, we conduct internal audits of our emissions calculation processes annually. In certain cases, we also engage third-party auditors for independent verification. This helps to identify and correct any potential errors or discrepancies.
However, there are certain factors that may affect the accuracy of the data:
Energy Supply Changes: If there are significant changes in our energy supply (e.g., the electricity supplier changes the energy mix, or shifts from renewable to fossil fuel-based power), the emission factors may vary, which could impact the emissions calculation.
Data Collection Precision: In some cases, there might be slight inaccuracies in fuel consumption records, particularly in regions or departments where energy usage data is less detailed or subject to estimation.
Overall, while there are some inherent uncertainties, we have taken comprehensive steps to ensure that the data we collect and the calculations we perform are as accur

*Calculation Methods for Scope 3 Emissions
Scope 3 emissions refer to indirect emissions that occur across the entire value chain of the company, excluding those already accounted for under Scope 2 emissions. These emissions include activities such as the extraction and production of purchased goods and services, transportation, waste disposal, employee commuting, and the use of sold products. Calculating Scope 3 emissions is complex because it encompasses a wide range of activities outside direct control.
To calculate Scope 3 emissions, we follow these steps:
Data Collection
We collect data from various departments and external sources to capture the relevant information for Scope 3 emissions. This includes:
Procurement and Supplier Data: We gather data from suppliers regarding the carbon footprint of purchased goods and services.
Transportation and Distribution: We collect data on the transportation of raw materials, products, and goods to customers, including logistics-related emissions from third-party carriers.
Employee Commuting and Business Travel: We use data from employee travel records and commuting surveys to estimate emissions from employee-related transportation.
Product Use and End-of-Life: We estimate the emissions from the use and disposal of our products based on lifecycle assessments (LCAs).
Emission Factor Application
Once the data is collected, we apply emission factors to convert activity data (e.g., miles traveled, units of goods purchased, energy consumed) into GHG emissions. These emission factors are sourced from trusted databases and international standards such as:
IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) emission factors for transportation, waste, and energy use.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) databases for product lifecycle emissions.
GHG Protocol Scope 3 Standard for guidance on calculating emissions from purchased goods and services, waste disposal, and other categories.
Calculation Formula:
For each category of Scope 3 emissions, we use the following general formula:
Scope 3 Emissions
=
Activity Data
×
Emission Factor
Scope 3 Emissions=Activity Data×Emission Factor
Where:
Activity Data represents the volume of activity (e.g., kilograms of products purchased, kilometers traveled, energy used).
Emission Factor is a standardized value that represents the average emissions associated with a unit of activity (e.g., kg CO₂ per mile, kg CO₂ per unit of product).
2. Tools Used for Scope 3 Emissions Calculation
We use several tools and resources to ensure accurate and comprehensive calculation of Scope 3 emissions:
GHG Protocol Scope 3 Standard: This standard, developed by the World Resources Institute (WRI) and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), provides guidelines for measuring and reporting Scope 3 emissions across 15 distinct categories (e.g., purchased goods and services, waste management, employee business travel).
Lifecycle Assessment (LCA) Software: We use LCA tools (e.g., GaBi, SimaPro) to evaluate the carbon footprint of our products throughout their lifecycle—from production to use and end-of-life. These tools allow us to assess emissions related to product design, manufacturing, distribution, and disposal.
Carbon Footprint Calculators: For categories like employee commuting and business travel, we use specialized carbon footprint calculators (e.g., CoolClimate Network, Carbon Trust) to estimate emissions based on activity data inputs such as distance traveled and transportation type.
Supplier Engagement Platforms: We work with suppliers through platforms like EcoVadis or SupplyShift to gather sustainability data and evaluate the environmental impact of our supply chain. These platforms help us collect emissions data from suppliers, enabling us to estimate emissions for purchased goods and services.
Data Management Systems: We utilize internal Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, like SAP or Oracle, to track data on procurement, transportation, and product sales. This system helps integrate data from various departments and ensures consistency and accuracy in emissions calculations.
3. Data Accuracy and Comments
Accurate calculation of Scope 3 emissions is challenging due to the large number of indirect activities involved. However, we take several steps to improve the precision and reliability of our data:
Reliable Data Sources: We rely on trusted, third-party emission factors and datasets, such as those provided by the IPCC, EPA, and other authoritative bodies. For activity data, we ensure that we collect information from verified sources, such as utility bills, supplier reports, and travel records.
Supplier Collaboration: Since Scope 3 emissions often depend on data from suppliers, we actively engage with suppliers to obtain accurate emissions data. We also encourage them to improve the transparency of their emissions reporting and provide data on the environmental impacts of their operations.
Regular Data Updates: We update our emission factors and activity data regularly to reflect changes in our supply chain, transportation networks, and product offerings. This helps ensure that our emissions calculations are based on the most current and accurate information available.
Data Gaps and Uncertainty: Despite these efforts, some uncertainty may remain due to data gaps, especially for indirect emissions from suppliers or less frequent activities (e.g., employee commuting). In these cases, we apply conservative estimates or use proxy data when direct data is unavailable. We also indicate any assumptions made in our emissions reporting to provide transparency.
Third-Party Verification: To further enhance the accuracy of our Scope 3 emissions data, we periodically engage third-party auditors to review our calculations and ensure compliance with established standards. Independent verification helps identify potential discrepancies and improves the overall credibility of our emissions reporting.
Conclusion
We are committed to accurately measuring and reducing our Scope 3 emissions, despite the challenges inherent in calculating indirect emissions across a complex value chain. By leveraging trusted tools, standards, and data management systems, we aim to ensure the reliability of our emissions data. While there are still challenges related to data availability and gaps, we continuously improve our data collection processes and work closely with our suppliers and partners to drive emissions reductions across our entire value chain.
