TESS has adopted CEMAsys as its reporting tool, ensuring that all data is continuously and systematically entered into the system to maintain clear overviews and accurate reports.
Scope 1 - Direct emissions from owned equipment
The report reveals that diesel vehicles emit approximately 1.62 tons of CO2 each, with considerable variability between different vehicles. Most electric cars owned by TESS are charged at TESS locations and fall under Scope 2 emissions reporting. The electricity purchased (2,454 kWh) produces emissions of 0.046 tons of CO2, associated with a fleet of 48 electric vehicles.
TESS is committed to offering emission-free deliveries by maintaining proximity to customers and utilizing zero-emission vehicles for transportation. The company’s goal is to minimize emissions and reduce its overall environmental footprint to the greatest extent possible.
Scope 2 - Indirect emissions from energy
Scope 2 refers to indirect emissions from purchased energy, specifically from electricity at TESS. We use a location-based approach for our calculations. The graphs illustrate an increase in emissions since 2021, attributed to three key factors:
- Data Accuracy: The baseline data quality was approximately 25-30% in 2021, while it has improved to about 98% in 2023.
- Increased Volume: There has been a growth in revenue and activity of around 15%, along with a 5% price increase.
- Rising CO2 Equivalent: The CO2 equivalent has increased from 11g to 19g, primarily due to higher imports and exports of electricity.
The results indicate variations in emissions related to climate and revenue. The West and North regions are the most active in terms of both activity and turnover. The TESS headquarters, which serves as the central warehouse, also conducts significant production for larger subsea and hose deliveries. These variations reflect differences in size, as measured by the number of employees.
Scope 3 - Other indirect emissions
Other Indirect Emissions refer to emissions generated by activities that are not directly linked to equipment owned by the company but are still influenced by its operations.
Efforts to address Scope 3 emissions have commenced, with plans for gradual expansion of reporting throughout 2024 and into 2025, following the established timeline. By the end of 2025, TESS aims to collect and report data on all relevant elements and their subcomponents. Our priority is to deliver a comprehensive climate report aligned with the GHG Protocol by 2026.
