THE FIVE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF THE GHG
PROTOCOL
The GHG Protocol divides greenhouse gas emissions into
three scopes:
Relevance
The inventory must re昀氀ect the emission sources that are
relevant to STEFFCA’s activities and decision-making.
Scope 1
Direct emissions from sources owned or controlled by
STEFFCA. This includes fuel consumption in the company’s own vehicles, natural gas for heating, and any process
or fugitive emissions from, for example, refrigeration and
air conditioning systems.
Completeness
All relevant emission sources within the selected boundary must be included. Any exclusions must be described
and justi昀椀ed.
Consistency
Methods and data foundation must be applied as consistently as possible over time, so that emissions can be
compared between years.
Transparency
Methods, data sources, assumptions and signi昀椀cant
limitations must be clearly described, so that the inventory
can be understood and veri昀椀ed.
Accuracy
Emissions must be calculated as accurately as possible
based on the available data, and uncertainties must be
reduced where practically possible.
Scope 2
Indirect emissions from the generation of purchased
energy consumed by STEFFCA. This includes purchased
electricity and district heating. Where relevant, scope
2 is calculated using both the location-based and market-based methods.
Scope 3
Other indirect emissions in STEFFCA’s value chain. This
includes purchased goods and services, capital goods,
transport and distribution, waste, business travel, employee commuting and end-of-life treatment of sold products.
Scope 3 is divided into 15 categories, which are reviewed
in more detail in the scope 3 section of this report.
