132 CO2e emissions CO2 emissions for 2016 were calculated using new emission factors (ecoinvent v3.3). However, this recalculation of all emission values is not shown in the tables for the sake of comparability with previous years’ reports. Average CO2e emissions came to 59,147 tonnes (t) in 2016, a reduction of 19 percent compared to 2011 (date of first reporting). A minimal adjustment to emissions was arrived at in all three scopes through the factor conversion. The Scope 2 reduction compared to the previous year is the result of the factor conversion, the increase in Scope 3 emissions results from additional data collection, and the reduction in Scope 1 emissions is independent of the factor conversion. You can find more details on the scopes in the introduction to the chapter “Inhouse ecology”. In 2016, 6,027 tonnes of CO2e were allocated to Scope 1 (ten percent), 25,801 tonnes (44 percent) to Scope 2 and 27,319 tonnes (46 percent) to Scope 3 in the RZB Group. • Energy consumption accounts for about 65 percent of emissions (down nine percent compared to the previous year) with 38,586 t CO2e, making it the largest source of emissions in the RZB Group. Most of these fall under Scope 2, but partly also under Scopes 1 and 3. The share of green power share in the RZB Group is about 34 percent. • Business travel generates approx. 21 percent of emissions (down six percent compared to the previous year) with 12,657 t CO2e. Travel is therefore the second-biggest source of emissions in the RZB Group. This has an effect on both Scope 1 and Scope 3. • The parcel service and transport of goods amounts to around six percent of emissions with 3,736 t CO2e (about five times as high as in the previous year due to an improved data situation). This area is therefore the third-biggest source of emissions in the RZB Group. The impacts are felt solely in Scope 3. • Paper consumption accounts for around four percent of emissions (up 14 percent compared to the previous year), or 2,621 t CO2e. Paper consumption is therefore the fourthbiggest source of emissions in the RZB Group. The impacts are felt solely in Scope 3. The recycled share of materials purchasing is 70 percent. • Waste, with 1,547 t CO2e, is also negligible and accounts for approx. three percent of emissions (down five percent compared to the previous year). The impacts are felt solely in Scope 3. Water consumption is in last place as a source of emissions, at almost zero percent.
