DISTRIBUTION OF GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS 
BY SCOPES 1, 2 AND 3

The Group’s 2030 targets for reducing direct and indirect emissions related to the consumption of energy required for production (Scopes 1 and 2) and the target for reducing emissions related to vehicle use (Scope 3 well-to-wheel) were officially approved by the Science Based Targets (SBT) initiative in March 2019. The SBT initiative arose from a partnership between CDP, the United Nations Global Compact program, the World Resources Institute and the World Wildlife Foundation. The aim is to verify the consistency between greenhouse gas emission reduction targets set by companies and the data from scientific research on climate.

Scope 1: 0.25 t CO2e/vehicle

Scope 2: 0.25 t CO2e/vehicle

2014

Scope 1: 0.22 t CO2e/vehicle

Scope 2: 0.23 t CO2e/vehicle

2016

Scope 1: 0.21 t CO2e/vehicle

Scope 2: 0.18 t CO2e/vehicle

2018

Scope 1: 0.2t CO2e/vehicle

Scope 2: 0.18 t CO2e/vehicle

2020

Scope 1: 0.21 t CO2e/vehicle

Scope 2: 0.21 t CO2e/vehicle
