Energy
Energy consumption makes up about
70 percent of emissions with 37,543 t
CO2e (minus one percent on the previous
year or minus 23 percent on 2011) and
is the biggest cause of our emissions.
Most of this is evident in Scope 2,
but partly also in Scopes 1 and 3.
RBI’s share of green electricity is
about 35 percent.

Paper
Material consumption (especially paper
consumption) makes up about three
percent of emissions with 1,540 t CO2e
(minus 16 percent on the previous
year or minus 44 percent on 2011).
The effects are evident only in Scope 3.
Business travel makes up about 23 percent
of emissions with 12,600 t CO2e (plus two
percent on the previous year or minus eleven
percent on 2011), while parcel service and
transport of goods accounts for less than
one percent with 148 t CO2e according to
recent surveys. Transport is therefore the
secondbiggest cause of our emissions. This
has an effect on both Scope 1 and Scope 3.
Water
The share of water consumption
in our emissions is negligible
at 73 kg CO2e and nearly zero
percent (minus two percent on
the previous year or minus
six percent on 2011).
The CO2e emissions are
solely in Scope 3.
CO2e emissions
(including with regard to stakeholder evaluations and decisions)
The total CO2e of RBI in 2018 was 53,633 t
location based or 55,144 t market based
(minus one percent on the previous
year or minus 22 percent on 2011).
The biggest key performance indicators
of our CO2e emissions are energy
consumption and business travel.
Furthermore, most of the emissions
(49 percent) fall in Scope 2 (mostly
caused by power consumption, partly
by air traffic), followed by Scope 3 with
40 percent (power consumption is also in
first place here). In third place is Scope 1
with 11 percent, mostly caused by
business travel with own cars.
Waste
With 1,802 t CO2e, waste is negligible
and makes up about three percent
of emissions (plus eleven percent on
the previous year or plus 18 percent
on 2011). The effects are evident
only in Scope 3.
