Notes: • We calculate our greenhouse gas emissions inventory in accordance with the GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting Standard using an operational control boundary. The GHG Protocol defines the operational control approach to include operations where the company has the full authority to introduce and implement operating policies. Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions from all global owned and leased facilities and vehicles worldwide are included in our inventory. • Energy consumption is estimated for leased facilities or mobile sources where we do not have access to metered energy data. • Scope 1 emissions include stationary combustion of fuels in our buildings and combustion of transportation fuels in our mobile fleet. • Scope 2 emissions include indirect purchased energy for consumption in our buildings. • We measure and report our Scope 3 emissions for business travel, fuel and energy related activities and waste generated in operations. • GHG emissions evaluated as part of this inventory include all six greenhouse gases (CO₂, CH₄, N₂O, HFCs, PFCs, SF₆). C&W does not produce significant biogenic emissions. • Global warming potentials used to convert emissions into CO₂e are sourced from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Fourth Assessment Report. • Emission factor sources include: U.S. EPA Emission Factor Hub, March 2020; U.S. Electricity: Year 2018 eGRID Subregion Emission Factors (eGRID 2018, January 2020); International Electricity: Year 2011 factors from “CO₂ Emissions from Fuel Combustion (2013 Edition)”, IEA, Paris; Commercial Air Travel: UK DEFRA 2019 Government GHG Conversion Factors for Company Reporting: Methodology Paper for Emission Factors. Year 2017 Factors. From August 2019 Release. • Scope 2 emissions presented in this report are location-based emissions, which are calculated using the average electricity grid factor for each region or sub-region. • 2017 and 2018 inventory adjustments were made to previously reported values to account for methodology improvements to data quality and structural changes due to mergers and acquisitions activity.
