Greenhouse gas emissions & sustainability report data
Figures are as stated in the company's own report and may use different boundaries, units or methods (for example market-based vs location-based Scope 2), so compare with care.
📈 Emissions by Report Period
| Report period | Headline emissions figure reported |
|---|---|
| 2022 | 351.3K tCO2e/year (Scope 1 & 2) |
| 2021 | 402.1K tCO2e/year (Scope 1 & 2) |
| 2019 | 450.6K tCO2e/year (Scope 1 & 2) |
