Microsoft Word - Environment Report 2018 - Draft

Emissions totals are calculated by multiplying activity data (i.e. electricity consumption) with the appropriate emissions factor (i.e. UK electricity). Three emission scopes are set down in the GHG protocol and they are detailed overleaf. Scope 1: Direct emissions Occur from sources that are owned or controlled by Lockton. Examples: Lockton owned vehicles, fuel combustion, Scope 2: Electricity indirect emissions GHG emissions from the generation of purchased electricity consumed by Lockton (using both location and market based approach) Scope 3: Other indirect emissions An optional reporting category for all other indirect emissions that are a consequence of our activities. These occur from sources not owned or controlled by the company. Examples: electricity transmission & distribution losses, employee business travel, extraction & production of purchased materials, transportation of purchased materials or goods, contractor owned vehicles, outsourced activities, waste disposal etc. We are reporting two measurements, considering both calendar year 2017 and our 12 months period for our financial year 2017-18. This is enable reporting against last years targets, if applicable, and the 12 months period of our new baseline period and the new improvement targets going forwards CO2e emissions for Lockton
