Notes: • We use the operational control approach in compilation of our water and waste inventory in accordance with the GHG Protocol accounting principles. All global owned and leased facilities are included. • All water withdrawals information is estimated using industry average intensities by region as we do not have access to reliable measured data at this time. Industry average water estimation intensities from the US DOE’s Commercial Buildings Energy Consumption Survey (CBECS 2012) Table W1, February 2017. • Water withdrawn in areas of water stress is not tracked. • All waste generation and diversion via recycling from landfill is estimated using industry average intensities for large commercial office buildings. Estimation intensities are sourced from the US California Environmental Protection Agency, Integrated Waste Management Board, Waste Disposal and Diversion Findings for Selected Industry Groups, Table 21, June 2006.
