Scope 3 emissions, primarily from business travel, totalled approximately 1,511,000 kg CO2e. * **2023:** Scope 1 emissions from mobile combustion were approximately 50,000 kg CO2e. Scope 2 emissions from purchased electricity were around 63,000 kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions, with business travel as a significant component, totalled approximately 1,561,000 kg CO2e. * **2022:** Scope 1 emissions from stationary combustion were approximately 34,000 kg CO2e.
