Energy Intensity Energy intensity refers to the amount of energy required to produce a unit of output or achieve a specific level of economic activity. It is a measure of the efficiency with which energy is used within a system or industry. Energy intensity can be calculated by dividing the total energy consumed by the total output or economic activity. A lower energy intensity indicates a more efficient use of energy, while a higher energy intensity suggests a greater energy requirement for the same level of output.

GHG Emissions GHG emissions, or greenhouse gas emissions, refer to the release of gases into the atmosphere that contribute to the greenhouse effect and global warming. These gases include carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and fluorinated gases. GHG emissions are primarily caused by human activities such as burning fossil fuels for energy, industrial processes, deforestation, and agricultural practices. These emissions trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to an increase in global temperatures and climate change. Monitoring and reducing GHG emissions is crucial in mitigating the impacts of climate change and transitioning to a more sustainable and low-carbon economy.
Scope 1+2 GHG intensity Scope 1+2 GHG intensity refers to the measurement of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions intensity associated with the activities of an organization. Scope 1 emissions include direct GHG emissions from sources owned or controlled by the organization, such as emissions from combustion processes or transportation. Scope 2 emissions, on the other hand, include indirect GHG emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, heat, or steam consumed by the organization. GHG intensity is calculated by dividing the total GHG emissions (Scope 1+2) by a specific metric, such as revenue, production output, or energy consumption, to provide a normalized measure of emissions intensity. This allows organizations to assess and track the efficiency and environmental impact of their operations. tCO2e/oz 0.645 0.14 0.64 0.46 0.77
Scope 1+2+3 GHG intensity Scope 1+2+3 GHG intensity refers to the measurement of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across all three scopes of emissions as defined by the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. Scope 1 emissions include direct GHG emissions from sources that are owned or controlled by the reporting entity, such as emissions from combustion of fossil fuels in company-owned vehicles or facilities. Scope 2 emissions include indirect GHG emissions from the consumption of purchased electricity, heat, or steam.Scope 3 emissions include all other indirect GHG emissions that occur as a result of the company's activities, but are not owned or controlled by the reporting entity. tCO2e/oz 0.727 0.88 0.86 0.64 n/r
Water Withdrawal & Consumption Water withdrawal refers to the process of extracting water from a natural source, such as a river, lake, or groundwater, for various purposes, including agricultural irrigation, industrial processes, and domestic use. Water consumption, on the other hand, refers to the actual use or consumption of water, which may involve evaporation, incorporation into products, or other forms of water loss.
Water withdrawal intensity Water withdrawal intensity is a measure that quantifies the amount of water withdrawn or extracted from a natural source, such as a river, lake, or groundwater aquifer, relative to a specific economic or industrial activity. It is typically expressed as a ratio or percentage and is used to assess the efficiency and sustainability of water use in various sectors, including agriculture, industry, and municipal services. The formula for calculating water withdrawal intensity is often: Water Withdrawal Intensity = Volume of Water Withdrawn / Economic or Industrial Output ML/oz 0.04439 0.0134 0.0086 0.0080 0.0190
Water consumption intensity Water consumption intensity is a measure that quantifies the amount of water consumed or used in a specific process, activity, or sector relative to the level of output or productivity.
