Total Emissions: An inventory of all sources of greenhouse gas emissions is the total amount of Carbon Dioxide Equivalent produced over the entire business operation, compiled to ISO 14064-1 standard. For comparison, 5.23 Tonnes of CO2 are emitted by the average passenger vehicle in one year.

2016 Total (CO2e): 7.09t  

Scope 1 Emissions: These emissions come from direct release of greenhouse gases, primarily from the consumption of fossil fuels from space heating or vehicle use.

  2016 Scope 1: 6.18t

Scope 2 Emissions: Electricity consumption requires generation. A share of Ontario’s energy grid comes from fossil fuel generation, and this share is reflected in Scope 2, or “energy indirect” emissions.

2016 Scope 2: 0.88t

Scope 3 Emissions: All other indirect emissions are categorized in Scope 3. Standard inventories include scope 3 emissions from solid waste removal, water and waste water usage, but can also include many categories from purchased air and rail travel to employee commuting to work.

2016 Scope 3: 0.03t
