CORPORATE CARBON FOOTPRINT (CCF)
Plasser & Theurer has been collating the annual Corporate Carbon Footprint (CCF) in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG) since 2021. Its calculation includes direct Scope 1 and indirect Scope 2 emissions for the business location Austria (Vienna, Linz, Purkersdorf). Direct Scope 1 emissions occur directly in the operation itself, such as the use of fossil fuels, or during our production processes. Scope 2 emissions include emissions that arise from bought-in energy (electricity, district heating, district cooling) for use in operational processes.
In the current reporting period, Scope 3 emissions - i.e. emissions from the upstream and downstream value chain - were included in the CCF for the first time.
