Atmospheric emissions
Reducing climate-changing emissions is an ongoing commitment
The Greenhouse Gases (GHG) emissions generated by the Sesa Group derive both from direct sources, i.e. assets owned or under the operational control of the company (Scope 1), and from indirect sources, linked to the purchase of electricity from third parties (Scope 2) and activities along the entire value chain (Scope 3).
We measure and report GHG emissions to verify the effectiveness of the reduction strategies implemented and to demonstrate consistency with the Group's investments in sustainable infrastructure and technological innovation, aimed at promoting economic growth, creating jobs and promoting the well-being of human resources.
We calculate GHG emissions according to the GHG Protocol reporting standard developed by the WRI (World Resources Institute) and WBCSD (World Business Council for Sustainable Development) applying the two methods provided: market-based and location-based.
The “market-based” approach requires the determination of GHG emissions resulting from the purchase of electricity and heat, considering the specific emission factors reported by the suppliers. For purchases of electricity from renewable sources, an emission factor of zero is assigned with regard to scope 2.
The "location-based" approach, on the other hand, requires the determination of GHG emissions resulting from electricity consumption based on the application of average national emission factors.
Thanks to constant monitoring of our emissions, we have developed a plan aimed at containing and progressively reducing them. In particular, several measures have been implemented and planned with a view to reducing energy consumption. In the FY 2025 (ending April 30, 2025), the supply of certified electricity with a Guarantee of Origin from renewable sources allowed us to avoid 3,818 tonnes of CO2 in indirect Scope 2 emissions, while the Group's photovoltaic park produced a total of 1,009,862 kWh, avoiding 339 tonnes of CO2.
