Emissions 2023
Greenhouse gas emissions, measured in tons of CO2 equivalent, have been calculated using the methodologies indicated in “The Greenhouse Gas Protocol: A Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard (Revised Edition, 2004)” considering:
- for Scope 1 emissions (direct GHG emissions):
- fuel consumption data;
- release of refrigerant gases from air conditioning systems;
- release of SF6 gas, mainly used for testing activities;
- for Scope 2 emissions (indirect GHG emissions), the consumption of purchased energy (mostly electricity);
- indirect GHG emissions (Scope 3) account for over 99% of the Group’s total carbon footprint.
Detailed quantification of Scope 3 emissions has shown that roughly 96% of total emissions generated throughout the value chain are mainly attributable to use of the products sold.
The procurement of raw materials represents more than 3% of the Group total, while the remainder is split between logistics, investment and other minor categories.
