2021 COMPANY CLIMATE FOOTPRINT
Our corporate climate footprint increased 77% from 167,000 Tonnes CO2e in 2020 to 296,000 Tonnes CO2e in 2021, as our production volume grew 57%. This means that our impact per produced liter increased 13% from 0.558 to 0.629 CO2e. The two main drivers of our corporate climate footprint are the usual suspects: Ingredients and Transportation.
The following chart breaks down our corporate climate footprint by GHG emissions scope, as defined by the GHG Protocol. Scope 1 is our direct emissions from sources we own or control. Scope 2 covers indirect emissions from purchased electricity, heating, or cooling. Scope 3 is all other indirect emissions from our value chain like transportation, ingredients and waste from operations.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions
| Metric | 2021 | 2020 |
|---|---|---|
| Scope 1 emissions (T CO2e) | 11,886 | 4,260 |
| Scope 1 emissions intensity (kg/liters produced) | 0.025 | 0.014 |
| Scope 2 emissions (T CO2e) | 3,190 | 3,763 |
| Scope 2 emissions intensity (kg/liters produced) | 0.007 | 0.013 |
| Scope 3 emissions (T CO2e) | 280,464 | 159,080 |
| > Purchased goods and services | 173,894 | 90,916 |
| > Fuel and energy-related activities | 2,358 | 3,996 |
| > Waste generated from operations | 698 | 243 |
| > Upstream transportation and distribution | 101,609 | 63,174 |
| > Business travel | 1,905 | 751 |
| Scope 3 emission intensity (kg/liters produced) | 0.597 | 0.531 |
Big ass footnote for this table:
The reported emissions for the Scope 3 category include some estimates (see pages 48-49 in the official sustainability report for an overview of estimates). As a result, the estimates included in the reported Scope 3 emissions will differ from the actual emissions. Third-party data under Scope 3 emissions is more challenging to track, estimate and verify. Our ability to verify the assumptions, estimates and information used to calculate these metrics (whether now, in the past or in the future) may be limited by the integrity of the underlying data available at the relevant point in time and the status and evolution of global, supranational and national laws, guidelines and regulations in relation to the tracking and provision of such data. Therefore, according to the GHG Protocol reporting principles, such information is provided on a reasonable-effort basis and is subject to change. Note – for fossil-based electricity, location-based emission factors have been used in the table above.
