Like many other companies, we have had to learn that the emissions we can influence through our development, purchasing and investment decisions in the upstream and downstream supply chain (Scope 3) account for more than 90 % of our total CO2eq output. Our initial calculations and estimates for 2019 indicate Scope 3 emissions of around 800,000 tonnes of CO2eq – compared with approx. 49,000 tonnes for Scope 1 and Scope 2. We have set ourselves the target of identifying these Scope 3 emissions more precisely and will work with our suppliers, customers and partners to consistently reduce them.
