Key figures on sustainability
What does the term “metric-based climate protection” mean? At its core, key figures-based climate protection is about collecting consumption and operating figures and creating a performance measurement system. These numbers are only helpful if they show development and document operational performance in a comparison over time. In order to do this, you have to collect and evaluate the key figures from at least two consecutive years.
How are the data and their emissions allocated to scopes?
Companies or organizations emit greenhouse gases in three areas of application, called “scopes”. These scopes are defined as follows:
SCOPE 1:
Scope 1 emissions result from the company’s direct activities, such as the consumption of primary energy through stationary combustion (e.g., local boilers), mobile combustion (e.g., company vehicles), or fugitive emissions (e.g., leaks in refrigeration or air conditioning systems).
SCOPE 2:
Scope 2 includes indirect emissions that come from the energy purchased by the company. This includes, for example, the consumption of secondary energy sources such as electricity, district heating and steam.
SCOPE 3:
Scope 3 includes all other indirect emissions resulting from the company’s activities and covers upstream and downstream value chains. This includes, among other things, the purchase of goods and services, operational waste, capital goods, leased assets, employee commutes, and business travel.About our sustainability key figures and certifications:
