Assessing our Annual Carbon Footprint

As management cannot be achieved without
measurement, achieving carbon neutrality has to start
with assessing our baseline performance, this is where
conducting our GHG emissions assessments are a
crucial step towards our net-zero ambition.

Elsewedy Electric has been conducting its GHG

emissions assessment since 2017 and continues
to enhance and improve the quality of data and
the methodologies adopted to account for the
emissions year over year. In our 2020 assessment, we
have successfully expanded our organizational and
operational boundaries to include an additional facility,
as well as account for GHG emissions resulting from
additional activities.

Starting this year (2020) we have decided to expand our

BASE-YEAR (BY) boundaries for more accurate calculations. This included

Scope 1 and 3 emissions. We included the following addi-

YEAR (mtCO2e)

INTENSITY
▶▶ Refrigerant’s leakage
▶▶ Well to Tank emissions for all fuel burning activities
▶▶ Water and wastewater treatment
▶▶ Purchased goods
▶▶ Downstream transportation
▶▶ Exports

2020 emissions cannot be directly compared to base

year (2017) emissions due to the difference in reporting
boundaries and activities. Therefore, a modified emissions
inventory has been used to measure our performance
progress in 2020 as compared to 2017. This inventory
excludes the aforementioned activities/ facilities, so we
can compare on a like to like basis.

Elsewedy Electric is expecting to include the emissions of

more manufacturing facilities in its 2021 reporting cycle
and we will be committing to continuously expand our
reporting boundaries over the coming years to capture
the true scale of our emissions.

Starting 2021, Elsewedy Electric will be changing its base

year due to the difficulty of obtaining and maintaining
reliable and verifiable data for the fixed target base year
(2017). The new base year will also be convenient for
Elsewedy Electric due to frequent mergers, acquisitions,
and new lines of business where Elsewedy Electric is
involved.

* 2017 is considered the baseline year which all the following years are compared to Scope 1 emissions resulting from
refrigerants leakage were removed as it was not accounted for in the previous year. Scope 3 emissions resulting from the
following activities were removed in order to compare the emissions accurately:
• Well to Tank emissions for all fuel burning activities
• Water and wastewater treatment
• Purchased goods
• Downstream transportation
• Exports
