The Ekman & Co AB Sustainability Report for 2024.
During 2024, efforts were focused on identifying and tracking the company’s environmental footprint, and systematic collection of data on Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions commenced. As Ekman operates a limited number of facilities and offices, emissions in Scope 1 and 2 are low. However, identifying and tracking these emissions are a part of a broader efforts to achieve full GHG reporting.
This relates to any direct emissions at own (limited) re-processing sites and offices, such as fuel used in vehicles or on-site heating systems.
This relates to the direct emission from the generation of purchased energy, such as electricity.
Scope 3 emissions include indirect emissions occurring across Ekman’s value chain, such as those linked to transportation. Under the CSRD, the company is required to report on Scope 3 emissions. However, according to ESRS 1 Appendix C, companies with fewer than 750 employees on average during the financial year may omit Scope 3 and total GHG emissions reporting for the first year of reporting according to the directive. As Ekman meets this criterion, use of this phase-in provision will be made, allowing for additional time to further develop the data collection processes before Scope 3 reporting is introduced.
