CO2e-Emissions
Emissions - they are essential for Peppermint as a manufacturing company. In the Corporate Carbon Footprint, we record direct and indirect emissions annually and convert them into CO2e equivalents. Our focus: to collect production-related emissions and reduce them within our factory gates (gate-to-gate).
For our gate-to-gate balance, we look at emissions in Scopes 1, 2 and parts of Scope 3 emissions. Scope 1 is about emissions that occur directly and on our plant sites. The main source of these emissions is the combustion of fuel oil and natural gas to produce saturated steam. Scope 2 is about emissions caused by electricity generation and transport through the power grid. The purchase of electrical energy is crucial here.
The significantly smaller share in our gate-to-gate balance is taken up by the components of Scope 3 emissions considered here. Since we can influence the business travel of our employees, our waste and our water consumption, we include these in our gate-to-gate balance.
Raw materials and their logistics account for the majority of scope 3 emissions for us. We cannot influence these directly and therefore they take on a separate role in our accounting. In order to reduce the corporate carbon footprint including all raw materials, it is usually necessary for the entire supply chain to act. However, the market does not always offer an alternative with a lower CO2e backpack. For this reason, we want to develop a strategy together with our suppliers on how to reduce scope 3 emissions.
