This includes Scope 1 emissions of about 46,106,000 kg CO2e, comprising mobile combustion (944,000 kg CO2e), fugitive emissions (1,165,000 kg CO2e), and stationary combustion (45,017,000 kg CO2e). Scope 2 emissions from purchased heat were approximately 4,112,000 kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions amounted to roughly 213,699,000 kg CO2e, with business travel at 30,000,000 kg CO2e, employee commute at 163,699,000 kg CO2e, purchased goods and services at 7,455,000 kg CO2e, and waste generated in operations at 12,132,000 kg CO2e.
In 2018, total emissions were approximately 190,371,000 kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were about 46,502,000 kg CO2e, with mobile combustion at 949,000 kg CO2e, fugitive emissions at 1,143,000 kg CO2e, and stationary combustion at 44,410,000 kg CO2e. Scope 2 emissions from purchased heat were approximately 4,196,000 kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions totalled roughly 23,344,000 kg CO2e, including capital goods (5,000,000 kg CO2e), employee commute (13,611,000 kg CO2e), purchased goods and services (6,300,000 kg CO2e), and waste generated in operations (2,003,000 kg CO2e). It should be noted that business travel data for Scope 3 was not disclosed for 2018.
For 2017, total emissions were approximately 129,784,000 kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were about 48,981,000 kg CO2e, consisting of mobile combustion (948,000 kg CO2e), fugitive emissions (1,182,000 kg CO2e), and stationary combustion (46,851,000 kg CO2e). Scope 2 emissions from purchased heat were approximately 3,728,000 kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions were roughly 24,086,000 kg CO2e, which included capital goods (5,000,000 kg CO2e), employee commute (13,086,000 kg CO2e), purchased goods and services (5,000,000 kg CO2e), and waste generated in operations (1,000,000 kg CO2e).
