GHG emission scopes – what do we measure?
Scope 1 – direct emissions
Company vehicle fleet
Fuel combustion (petrol / diesel) by the Group’s company vehicles. Calculated in accordance with GHG Protocol methodology and DEFRA emission factors.
Scope 2 – indirect energy
Purchased electricity
Electricity consumed in offices for IT infrastructure, lighting and office equipment. KPI: kWh/employee. Emission factor sourced from KOBIZE.
Scope 3 – under monitoring
Business travel & other indirect sources
Employee air travel, commuting, paper consumption, waste disposal, colocation servers. Assessed as non-material. Materiality review planned by 2027.
