Other indirect greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Scope 3)
- Report gross other indirect (Scope 3) GHG emissions in metric tons of CO2 equivalent, excluding indirect emissions from the generation of purchased or acquired electricity, heating, cooling, and steam consumed by the organization (these indirect emissions are reported in Indicator G4-EN16). Exclude any GHG trades, such as purchases, sales, or transfers of offsets or allowances.
- Report gases included in the calculation, if available.
- Report biogenic CO2 emissions in metric tons of CO2 equivalent separately from the gross other indirect (Scope 3) GHG emissions.
- Report other indirect (Scope 3) emissions categories and activities included in the calculation.
- Report the chosen base year, the rationale for choosing the base year, emissions in the base year, and the context for any significant changes in emissions that triggered recalculations of base year emissions.
Smart travel policies – traveling less where possible, traveling lighter and traveling smarter – is a shared goal that we have committed to.
