Introduction *
MCCORMICKCO Limited Climate Report
The purpose of the report is to increase the understanding of what is driving the company’s greenhouse gas emissions, set targets to reduce these emissions, and ensure transparency and traceability on the journey towards net-zero.
Methodology
The emissions or greenhouse gas accounting is based on the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol’s corporate and value chain standards (ghgprotocol.org).
The GHG Protocol defines emissions in three scopes:
- Scope 1 – The company's direct emissions from vehicles, combustion, processes, or leakages
- Scope 2 – The company's indirect emissions from energy purchased and consumed (electricity, heating, cooling).
- Scope 3 – Greenhouse gas emissions that occur upstream and downstream in the company's value chain, as a consequence of the company's operations. Examples of scope 3 emissions are purchased goods and services, transport, use and disposal of products, business travel and employee commuting.
Total greenhouse gas emissions are quantified in carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2e), which take into consideration that different greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, methane etc.) have different global warming factors.
