Direct (Scope 1) GHG emissions

  1. Gross direct (Scope 1) GHG emissions in metric tons of CO2 equivalent.
  2. Gases included in the calculation; whether CO2, CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs, SF6, NF3, or all.
  3. Biogenic CO2 emissions in metric tons of CO2 equivalent.
  4. Base year for the calculation, if applicable, including:
    1. the rationale for choosing it;
    2. emissions in the base year;
    3. the context for any significant changes in emissions that triggered recalculations of base year emissions.
  5. Source of the emission factors and the global warming potential (GWP) rates used, or a reference to the GWP source.
  6. Consolidation approach for emissions; whether equity share, financial control, or operational control.
  7. Standards, methodologies, assumptions, and/or calculation tools used.

Energy consumption and emissions are reported for Babcock Group and can be found on page 57 of our Annual Report.

Figures for UK operations follow conversion factors published by BEIS. Non-UK operations utilise emission factors applicable to the location.

The reporting period is the calendar year (01 January to 31 December), this is opposed to financial year as we have previously reported. The transition to calendar year reporting has allowed more time to collate, analyse and report our environmental data, which has improved the accuracy and completeness of our data sets.

Energy indirect (Scope 2) GHG emissions

  1. Gross location-based energy indirect (Scope 2) GHG emissions in metric tons of CO2 equivalent.
  2. If applicable, gross market-based energy indirect (Scope 2) GHG emissions in metric tons of CO2 equivalent.
  3. If available, the gases included in the calculation; whether CO2, CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs, SF6, NF3, or all.
  4. Base year for the calculation, if applicable, including:
    1. the rationale for choosing it;
    2. emissions in the base year;
    3. the context for any significant changes in emissions that triggered recalculations of base year emissions.
  5. Source of the emission factors and the global warming potential (GWP) rates used, or a reference to the GWP source.
  6. Consolidation approach for emissions; whether equity share, financial control, or operational control.
  7. Standards, methodologies, assumptions, and/or calculation tools used

  3. Biogenic CO2 emissions in metric tons of CO2 equivalent.
  4. Other indirect (Scope 3) GHG emissions categories and activities included in the calculation.

GHG emissions intensity

  1. GHG emissions intensity ratio for the organization.
  2. Organization-specific metric (the denominator) chosen to calculate the ratio.
  3. Types of GHG emissions included in the intensity ratio; whether direct (Scope 1), energy indirect (Scope 2), and/or other indirect (Scope 3).
  4. Gases included in the calculation; whether CO2, CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs, SF6, NF3, or all.

Partial Disclosure

Reduction of GHG emissions

  1. GHG emissions reduced as a direct result of reduction initiatives, in metric tons of CO2 equivalent.
  2. Gases included in the calculation; whether CO2, CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs, SF6, NF3, or all.
  3. Base year or baseline, including the rationale for choosing it.
  4. Scopes in which reductions took place; whether direct (Scope 1), energy indirect (Scope 2), and/or other indirect (Scope 3).
  5. Standards, methodologies, assumptions, and/or calculation tools used.

In line with our overall Carbon Reduction Plan and Plan Zero 40 approach, we are developing a range of targeted carbon reduction plans across our operations at local site level.
