Our carbon footprint is calculated in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol Corporate Standard (Revised edition).

This document provides standards and guidance for companies and other organisations preparing a GHG emissions inventory. It covers the accounting and reporting of the six GHGs covered by the Kyoto Protocol — carbon dioxide (CO₂), methane (CH₄), nitrous oxide (N₂O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), and sulphur hexafluoride (SF₆).
