In 2023, Interroll calculated its carbon footprint for 2022 and 2023 for the first time in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Standard.

The GHG Protocol Corporate Standard divides a company’s emissions into two different types: direct and indirect.

• Direct emissions – are emissions from sources owned or controlled by the reporting company.
• Indirect emissions – are emissions that are a consequence of the reporting company’s activities but occur at sources owned or controlled by another company.

Emissions are further divided into three scopes:

• Scope 1 emissions (direct emissions): Emissions from activities owned or controlled by the reporting company
• Scope 2 emissions (indirect emissions): Emissions from the generation of purchased or acquired electricity, steam, heating or cooling consumed by the reporting company
• Scope 3 emissions (indirect emissions): All indirect emissions (not included in Scope 2) generated in the reporting company’s value chain, including upstream and downstream emissions.

All figures now refer to the quantity of CO₂ equivalents in accordance with the GHG Protocol. The periods January 1 to December 31 of the respective year were used as the basis for calculating energy consumption.
