Climate Accounting
,
As in the previous year our carbon accounts for 2024/2025 have been prepared using the Climate
(
,
)
.
Compass Klimakompasset and in accordance with the GHG Protocol This includes Scope 1 and Scope 2
.
emissions which cover our direct and indirect carbon emissions
,
Scope 1 includes fuel consumption from our own vehicles and lorries while Scope 2 covers emissions from
.
,
,
our consumption of electricity and district heating This year we acquired our first electric car and its energy
.
consumption is included in Scope 2
,
.
Once again this year we have seen a reduction in our emissions in both Scope 1 and Scope 2 The decrease
.
,
,
in Scope 1 can be attributed to lower fuel consumption In Scope 2 our energy consumption has increased
,
but as the energy grid overall has become greener this has nevertheless resulted in a decrease in our
.
,
Scope 2 emissions In the coming years Scope 1 is expected to decrease further as we shift more of our
.
transport to electric vehicles This continues to motivate us to work purposefully to optimise our energy
.
consumption and transport solutions in order to maintain this positive development
Our total Scope 2 emissions have decreased even in spite of the fact that our energy consumption has gone
.
,
up The decrease in emissions can be attributed to improvements in the energy grid which now produces
.
energy with a greater share of renewable sources and a lower climate impact We have also seen a slight
,
,
increase in Scope 2 emissions which is due to higher levels of energy consumption including increased
.
,
heating and operations This increase affects our overall carbon accounts but we continue to work
.
,
purposefully to optimise our overall carbon emissions Our total emissions in Scopes 1 and 2 covering fuel
,
consumption from our own cars and lorries as well as electricity and district heating consumption have

therefore decreased by 12

Our carbon intensity meaning emissions relative to our level of activity has decreased compared with

previous years
,
Although we are seeing a slight reduction in our Scope 1 and 2 emissions we are aware that the greatest
challenge
–
and the greatest potential for improvement

–
,
most likely lies in Scope 3 which covers the
indirect emissions from our supply chain Scope 3 accounts for by far the largest share of our overall climate

.
footprint and it is therefore crucial for us to intensify our efforts in this area

In accordance with the GHG Protocol
,

,
carbon emissions are divided into three main categories

Scope 2 covers indirect emissions arising from the electricity and heat we purchase
Scope 1 covers direct emissions

such as emissions coming from our own vehicles

Scope 3 includes indirect carbon emissions associated with our business activities

known as Scopes
These cover both the direct and indirect carbon emissions of our company
