Revenue intensity
Carbon / $m revenue
121tCO2e / $m

Carbon per million dollars of revenue. The legacy industry-standard reference (CDP, MSCI). Useful for cross-sector context, but distorted by margin — high-margin firms appear artificially efficient. Read alongside the operational and asset intensities for the full picture.

Operational intensity
Carbon / $m OpEx
128tCO2e / $m

OpEx (operating expenditure) is the running cost of the business — staff, services, energy, materials. This shows how carbon-intensive operations are per million dollars of spend. Removes the margin distortion that revenue-based ratios introduce.

Economic intensity
Carbon / $m EVIC
tCO2e / $m

EVIC (Enterprise Value Including Cash) is the firm's total capital footprint — equity + debt + cash + minority interest. The EU's standard intensity measure (SFDR PAI 3) — answers: how much carbon does each million of capital deployed in this business produce?

Asset intensity
Carbon / $m PP&E + leased
tCO2e / $m

PP&E (Property, Plant & Equipment) plus leased real-estate assets is the firm's physical infrastructure on the balance sheet. This shows the carbon intensity of that physical footprint — uses Scope 1+2+3 for consistency with the other headline intensities. Surfaces stranded-asset risk for asset-heavy firms.

Workforce intensity
Carbon / FTE
0.31tCO2e / FTE

Carbon per FTE (full-time-equivalent employee) — the diagnostic measure for people-leveraged businesses where headcount, not capital, drives delivery. Captures the office, energy and travel footprint per person.

  • Targets tightened: Scope 1+2 reduction raised from 70% to 71%, target year extended for greater ambition

    Previous targets (set 2021) were 45% Scope 1+2 by 2025 and 35% Scope 3 business travel by 2025. New targets (Nov 2023, resubmitted Jan 2024) are 71% Scope 1+2 by 2029, 45% Scope 3 (full categories) by 2029, and 90% reduction (net zero) by 2035. Significantly broader Scope 3 coverage and more ambitious overall.

    2023
  • Improved methodology for Scope 3 Cat 1 (purchased goods & services)

    Switched from high-level extrapolation of spend categorization to more granular spend-to-EEIO emission factor mapping using EPA EEIO v1.2; for ~10% of emissions, now using primary supplier data via CDP Supply Chain. Resulted in significant decrease vs. previously reported numbers.

    2023
  • Updated business travel emission factors to Well-To-Wheel basis

    Updated emission factors for Scope 3 categories 6 and 7 to Well-To-Wheel (adding indirect fuel production emissions) to align with SBTi guidance. Applied retroactively to all years including 2019 baseline. Resulted in ~16% uplift on average (air travel +12%, other subcategories +25%).

    2023
  • Added Scope 3 Category 4 (Upstream Transportation & Distribution)

    For 2023 footprint, added Scope 3 Category 4 to inventory for the first time. Included in all years since 2019 baseline. Also included 2022 acquisitions for full year 2023 and in baseline.

    2023
  • 100% EV fleet transition target by 2030

    Internal target set for 100% transition of company fleet to electric vehicles by 2030. As of 2023 reporting, ~23% transitioned. Major lever for Scope 1 reduction.
