Absolute Scope 3 emissions increased slightly this year. This year we updated emissions calculations to include the most accurate set of emissions conversion factors. This leads each previous year’s emissions to be lower than previously reported. We expect that 2019 data will adjust as new emissions factors are released for that year. Along with our newly approved Science Based Targets, we are looking into ways for each product platform to decrease the emissions in their product portfolio.
We are still on track to meet our targets.
Each region and country has its own regulations on what is considered hazardous waste. As these regulations change, our hazardous waste values adjust to match regulations.
Hazardous waste values for 2018 were restated due to improved data accuracy.
Increases in on-site water treatment volume in 2019 are due to a shift in the treatment methods from off-site to on-site as sites build their capacity to properly and efficiently treat water at their sites.
More water in general is being released to surface water after being properly handled, which allows the water to be returned to the source. This reduces water depletion and positively impacts ecosystems that rely on those water sources.
