38、2.Drivers for the increase of greenhouse gas emissionsIn 2020 and 2021,the social restrictions linked to the COVID-19 pandemic significantly disrupted the daily lives of people and the business operations of organisations all over the world.This was no different for us at the EIB Group,as emergency
39、measures were implemented to protect staff and prevent the spread of COVID-19 while maintaining business operations.In 2022,the gradual decline in severity of the COVID-19 pandemic meant that,overall,operations increased(as people left their houses to go to the office or on business travel).However,
40、the EIB Group continued to implement health-related restrictions:for example,until 2023,the EIB Group required employees to fly business class instead of economy class for health protection reasons.As national and international travel restrictions gradually came to an end,business travel which is es
41、sential to the EIB Groups activity resumed and the EIB Groups emissions increased significantly compared with 2020 and 2021.In 2022 air travel was again the main contributor to the EIB Groups greenhouse gas emissions,constituting 66%of gross emissions.In addition,with the end of travel restrictions,
42、although the EIB Group partially enabled employees to continue teleworking,employees gradually began working in the office again.From the second quarter of 2022 onwards,EIB Group staff were encouraged to return to the office again for at least 60%of their working hours.Finally,the organic growth in
43、staff is also a driver for increased corporate greenhouse gas emissions for most sources within the reporting boundary.In 2022 the EIB Groups personnel increased by 1.4%to 4 475 employees(full-time equivalent),from 4 412 employees in 2021.Decrease in energy consumption and emissions linked to EIB bu
44、ildings and data centresIn 2022,buildings-related electricity consumption(kWh)remained stable compared with 2021(+1%)but decreased by 14%compared with 2018(pre-COVID-19 pandemic).This stable period between 2021 and 2022 is primarily explained by the combined effect of two factors:the resumption of o
45、ffice activity(while maintaining the increased ventilation requirements),resulting in an increase in energy consumption,and an energy sobriety plan following guidance from the European Commission(adopted by the government of Luxembourg)to reduce gas consumption by 15%in the winter of 2022/2023.Thus,
46、efforts to reduce energy consumption were balanced by the expected increase in consumption due to the resumption of office activity.The use of thermal energy decreased by 25%compared with 2021.This can be explained by the energy conservation measures applied owing to the current energy crisis.Overal
47、l,Scope 25 emissions decreased by 33.4%to 2 154 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent(tCO2e).This decrease can be attributed to several factors.First,the emission factor for electricity decreased between 2021 and 2022 for the same level of consumption(further details are available in Appendix II).5.Fo
48、r a definition of the different scopes,see Annex I on page 27.4EIB GROUP 2022 CARBON FOOTPRINT REPORTSecond,steam consumption decreased by 25%,resulting in an overall decrease in Scope 2 emissions between 2021 and 2022.Natural gas consumption and therefore gas-related emissions drastically decreased
49、 in 2022,as from mid-2021 the EIB Group stopped using the crche building,which was heated with natural gas.However,building temperatures were kept at a minimal level for maintenance reasons.Emissions from the use of third-party data centres decreased from 177 tCO2e to 96 tCO2e following the decommis
50、sion of an old data centre in September 2021.The EIB Group had two data centres until May 2020,when a new data centre was commissioned.For over a year,the EIB Group had three data centres(during the migration period).From September 2020,the EIB Group started deploying new hardware and by May 2021 th
51、e EIB Group had completed the transfer of most services to the new data centre.Finally,the old data centre was decommissioned in September 2021.Over the course of 2022 there was an increased demand for computation resources,as staff numbers increased.However,electricity consumption linked to data ce
52、ntres remained lower than pre-2020 years as the new hardware is more energy-efficient(there are more systems but less electricity is consumed).Data centre electricity is entirely sourced from hydroelectricity,so this is recorded as zero in the EIB Groups net Scope 3 emissions.Increase in flights and
53、 commutingAll emissions related to travel increased drastically compared with the previous year,primarily owing to the end of COVID-19 travel restrictions in early 2022.In 2021,travel increased only in Q4,and then stopped again.In March 2022 business travel increased again and consistently kept grow
54、ing until the summer.There was a slight decrease in the summer months,then volumes rose again and remained stable until year-end.In 2022 we also recommenced missions in locations requiring long-haul flights,hence the increased number of kilometres for business flights.Gross emissions related to mobi
55、lity increased overall by 255%,with emissions related to air travel up from 1 313 tCO2e in 2021 to 11 385 tCO2e in 2022.Despite this increase,the EIB Group recorded a significant decrease in its air-travel emissions from its baseline(40%compared with 2018).Working from homeFrom the start of the pand
56、emic in March 2020 until the end of 2021,EIB Group staff were required to work from home.In 2022,EIB Group staff gradually returned to the office,which led to a decrease in homeworking emissions of 2%compared with 2021.Working from home was estimated to generate 2 156 tCO2e in 2022,a decrease from 2
57、 204 tCO2e in 2021.Despite a lower rate of teleworking in 2022 than in 2021,the decrease in associated emissions was partly absorbed by an increase in staff numbers.Reducing emissions intensityThe EIB Groups net emissions intensity per employee fell by 40%since the 2018 base year emissions.Between 2
58、018 and 2022 there have been several refinements to the reporting methodology.6 6.Further information regarding the impact of methodological changes can be found in Appendix II:Methodology.5EXECUTIVE SUMMARYCompensation of residual emissionsBetween 2014 and 2020,the EIB Group compensated for its res
59、idual emissions annually by purchasing high-quality Voluntary Emissions Reductions(VERs)(carbon-offsetting credits)generated by the Kasigau Corridor REDD+7 project,which prevents deforestation and forest degradation,helping to protect wildlife and promote biodiversity in 500 000 acres of highly enda
60、ngered Kenyan forest.The EIB Group remains committed to offsetting its residual greenhouse gas emissions annually.However,in the rapidly evolving voluntary carbon credit market and changing landscape in respect of quality standards,the EIB Group is reviewing its selection criteria and processes to e
61、nsure that its support to climate finance through the purchase of carbon credits remains both agile and relevant.In 2022,the EIB Group also symbolically purchased for the first time 3 119 kilograms of sustainable aviation fuel8 through Lufthansa Group and Compensaid.This results in an emission mitig
62、ation of at least 9 323 kilograms CO2e in comparison to conventional fossil jet fuel based on a well-to-wheel assessment.7.REDD+projects are voluntary initiatives aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions originating from deforestation and forest degradation in developing countries.8.This fuel has
63、not been derived from palm oil or palm fatty acid distillates.The fuel manufacturer is certified according to ISCC EU and complies with the requirements of the Renewable Energy Directive(RED).6EIB GROUP 2022 CARBON FOOTPRINT REPORTCARBON FOOTPRINTCarbon emission reduction targetsThe European Investm
64、ent Bank(EIB)Group has been calculating and reporting on its carbon footprint since 2007.Having surpassed the European Unions target of 20-30%carbon emission reduction by 2020 from the baseline in 2007,the EIB Group has defined a target to comply and ensure a long-term alignment of its internal acti
65、vities with the goals of the Paris Agreement.Therefore,the EIB Group aims to reduce absolute gross greenhouse gas emissions by about 30%,compared with a business-as-usual scenario in 2025.This corresponds to an absolute reduction of its annual gross greenhouse gas emissions of 12.4%by 2025 compared
66、with the emissions reported in 2018(base year).The EIB Groups emission reduction pathway is illustrated in Figure 1,with emissions expressed as tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent(tCO2e).Gross emissions(tCo2e)05 00010 00015 00020 00025 00030 00035 000Base year 20181.5C minimum scenario(12.4%,2018)Or

74、IB Group-purchased electricity is covered by green Guarantees of Origin.Therefore,purchased electricity is reported as producing zero emissions and net emissions relating to buildings usage account for only 2%of the overall carbon footprint.NetGrossBuildingsMobility0204060801002%13%87%98%Figure 4:Pe

76、nancier,business travel is an unavoidable part of its business.Therefore,business air travel(flights)accounts for a large proportion of net mobility emissions at 76%.Commuting emissions account for 9%of net mobility emissions.In 2022,for the third year,the EIB Group estimated the impact of its staff
77、 working from home.Working from home is categorised as“commuting”under the Greenhouse Gas(GHG)Protocol Scope 3 methodology,so it is included in this section on mobility.This model estimates that working from home accounted for 14%of total net mobility emissions in 2022.10.For target calculation,gros
78、s emissions are used to support and measure improvements in energy consumption and energy efficiency.9CARBON FOOTPRINTCompany car travel accounts for just 0.1%of net mobility emissions.Other mobility emissions sources are not significant,with rental car travel and minibus emissions combined accounti
79、ng for just 0.4%of net mobility emissions.Emissions from couriered shipments contribute just 0.2%of emissions on a gross basis but,as these emissions are offset by the courier company,they are treated as zero emissions on a net basis.The EIB Group has put in place the necessary digital and video-con
80、ferencing infrastructure to incentivise alternatives to travel whenever compatible with business interest.Staff are also encouraged to use sustainable means of transport in their daily commute,such as cycling to work or using public transport,through awareness-raising initiatives.Business travel(fli

83、creased by 767%.Most of this increase is related to the gradual ending of COVID-19 travel restrictions.From Q1 2022 onwards,the EIB Groups travel restrictions eased,although health-related measures were still implemented until early 2023.Compared with the emissions data for the baseline year(2018),a
84、ir travel net emissions have decreased by 40%,for two main reasons.First,for some of 2022,the EIB Group still had travel restrictions implemented.Second,post COVID-19,a behavioural shift has been observed in the increased utilisation of digital tools to organise meetings.Most air travel emissions(86
85、%)are attributable to long-distance business class flights,with a smaller proportion(8%)arising from short-distance flights(business and economy)and the remaining emissions resulting from long-distance economy class flights(premium economy flights account for just 0.4%of air travel emissions).These
86、results are partially explained by the fact that during the entirety of 2022 the EIB Group required employees to fly business class instead of economy class for health protection reasons.10EIB GROUP 2022 CARBON FOOTPRINT REPORTPremium economy-45 tCO2e0.4%Economy-1 034 tCO2e9.1%Business-10 306 tCO2e9

88、 considered to be time worked from home.The emissions calculation model used estimates that this generated 2 156 tCO2e in 2021.These emissions are modelled using the percentage of EIB Group staff working from home each month during the entirety of the reporting year.The reporting of homeworking emis
89、sions was extended from the EIB to the EIB Group,resulting in a substantial increase in the number of FTE employees concerned(roughly 800 more employees).The pandemic necessitated teleworking arrangements for the majority of 2020 and 2021.As a result of this change in working arrangements,the import
90、ance of calculating homeworking emissions was acknowledged.In 2022,homeworking was still largely in place for EIB Group staff;therefore,it was decided to continue to account for homeworking emissions in the EIB Groups 2022 greenhouse gas emissions.To calculate homeworking emissions,we applied the av
91、erage household energy consumption estimates produced by Luxembourgs Ministry of the Environment,Climate and Sustainable Development to produce as accurate a calculation as possible.We used the methodology described in a white paper produced by EcoAct in partnership with Lloyds Banking Group and Nat
92、West Group.Further details of the calculation methodology and a link to the white paper can be found in Appendix II.The EIB Group will fine-tune its calculations in line with future teleworking policies,as appropriate.11CARBON FOOTPRINTCar travelDistance travelled(thousand km)vs.2021Net emissions(tC

94、ring these years and therefore increased again in 2022.Net emissions for car travel are equal to gross emissions.Car travel,comprising commuting by car,company cars and rental cars,is the third most significant source of mobility emissions,following flights and homeworking.Car travel accounts for 9%
95、of the EIB Groups total net mobility emissions,most of which relate to employee commuting.Commuting emissions increased by 120%in 2022,with most of this increase related to the return to the office during 2022 and the increase in the number of FTE employees.The EIB Group strives to enhance the cover
96、age and transparency of its disclosure wherever possible,and 2022 is the seventh year in which we have included emissions from rental cars used for business travel.Although they account for a small proportion of overall net emissions,the inclusion of rental car emissions provides a more complete dis
97、closure of emissions from car travel.The EIB Group continues to work with its suppliers to improve the quality of data received and we record the distance travelled in both diesel and petrol cars.The previous year showed a relatively significant increase in the number of kilometres driven by company
98、 vehicles(+10%).Nevertheless,the vehicles used in 2022 were on average 36%less emissive than those used in 2021;therefore,the associated emissions decreased by 30%.This can be explained by an increase in the share of hybrid/electric vehicles in the company fleet.Other mobility emissionsConsumptionvs

102、022 to 65 000 kilometres,with related emissions increasing by 17%.It is,however,important to note that minibus emissions for Q4 2022 are zero,as the minibus contract was ended in September 2022 and replaced by the rental of electric vans(accounted for in the company cars category).Minibus emissions
103、decreased by 45%between 2018(baseline year)and 2022,and they will no longer be recorded in the future as the minibus contract has ended.Courier shipments slightly increased in 2022 compared with 2021,although these shipments are offset by the contracted courier company(EIBs courier contract with DHL
104、 includes their GoGreen service)and are treated as zero emissions on a net basis.Although there was an increase in the sending of express mail,which is essential to the needs of the business,the roll-out of electronic signatures(end-Q1 2021)means that increased employee numbers probably contributed
105、more to the rise in courier emissions than any increases in express mail deliveries.Courier emissions decreased by 45%in 2022 as compared to base year emissions.Hotel staysHotel nights bookedvs.2021Net emissions(tCO2e)vs.2021Hotel stays 12 718+308%339+276%In 2022,emissions from hotel stays drastical

114、r 11%of gross buildings-related emissions,in 2022.The substantial decrease in emissions is partly explained by the change in energy sources for district heating(which influences the emission factor used).EIB Group buildings are connected to the Kirchberg district heating network,which in 2022 uses a
115、 58%biomass cogeneration,3%gas cogeneration and 39%fossil(gas 38%and fuel 1%)mix to provide the purchased steam.In contrast to 2021,reported net and gross emissions in 2022 for purchased steam are the same.For 2022,the contribution of biomass cogeneration is reflected directly in a lower emissions f
116、actor(kgCO2e/kWh).By contrast,in 2021 the share of district heating by renewable cogeneration was deducted from the gross emissions for purchased steam to determine the related net emissions.13.Major discrepancies were discovered between BKIs 2021 and 2022 electricity consumption.Given that the 2021
117、 carbon footprint has been published,the EIB Group has chosen to keep these input data in order to maintain consistency.However,for 2022,the EIB Group has chosen to use 2020 input data as the electricity consumption data for the BKI building in 2022(the data for 2020 are correct and consistent).This
118、 modification therefore leads to a large increase in electricity consumption compared with 2021.14.Totals differ from the sum of each buildings consumption owing to rounding.15CARBON FOOTPRINTOther buildings-related emissionsConsumptionNet emissions(tCO2e)vs.2018Paper58 tonnes4367%Water49.865 Ml15 2

122、which can be explained by the increase in office activity due to employees returning to the office.Therefore,paper emissions increased to 43 tCO2e.However,the emissions linked to paper consumption have drastically decreased(67%)since the base year.15.Since 2020,the way“water use”is measured has chan

151、NAL AND OPERATIONAL BOUNDARY 16Organisational boundaryThe organisational boundary defines the businesses and operations that constitute the company for the purpose of accounting for and reporting greenhouse gas emissions.Companies can choose to report either the emissions from operations over which
152、they have financial or operational control(the control approach)or from operations according to their share of equity in the operation(the equity share approach).The EIB Group defines its carbon footprint using the operational control approach.Therefore,it includes the Groups head office operations
153、in the Kirchberg district of the city of Luxembourg,where several office facilities are located.External offices are not included at this stage because the data provided for these sites are not yet reliable or complete enough.Further efforts will be made in subsequent reporting years to measure the
154、environmental impact of external offices.Operational boundaryDefining the operational boundary involves identifying the emissions associated with operations and categorising them as either direct or indirect emissions.Companies choose the scope of accounting and reporting for indirect emissions.The
155、following definitions are used for categorising emissions:Direct greenhouse gas emissions Scope 1:Emissions released straight into the atmosphere from sources owned or controlled by the reporting entity.Indirect greenhouse gas emissionsIndirect emissions result from an organisations activities invol
156、ving sources owned or controlled by another entity.These are classified as follows:Scope 2:Indirect greenhouse gas emissions from the consumption of purchased electricity,heat,steam or cooling.Scope 3:Indirect greenhouse gas emissions from other activities.A detailed standard sets out the rules for
157、15 categories of Scope 3 emissions.16.For more details,see Figure 13:EIB Group organisational and operational boundary.22EIB GROUP 2022 CARBON FOOTPRINT REPORTInternational subsidiary officesSupply chainCustomers(investments)CompanyfacilitiesPurchasedelectricity,steam,heating and coolingCompanyvehic

165、e 13:EIB Group organisational and operational boundary23APPENDIX II:METHODOLOGYAPPENDIX II:METHODOLOGYThe EIB Group carbon footprint analysis in 2022 follows the World Resources Institute GHG Protocol,consistent with the approach adopted in 2018.The GHG Protocol is recognised as the most widely used
166、 international accounting tool for government and business leaders to understand,quantify and manage greenhouse gas emissions.It is an international standard used by a broad range of public and private sector organisations,including many in the banking sector,and it is widely accepted as best practi
167、ce.To calculate the greenhouse gas emissions inventory,we identified all relevant greenhouse gas emissions sources,collected activity data from the relevant Group services and applied the emissions factors,calculating emissions from each source.These data were then aggregated to create the EIB Group

172、sed or the distance travelled by air;however,commuting and homeworking data were calculated using an estimation model.The activity data are also used as environmental impact indicators,as required by the Global Reporting Initiative(GRI)reporting framework.17.For air travel,emission factors used for
173、international and long-haul flights differed between the ones used in the fourth quarter of 2022(Q4 2022)and the ones in previous quarters of 2022.In Q4 2022,the“international”flight emission factor is slightly lower(5%)as compared to previous quarters,while the long-haul flights emission factor use
174、d was more conservative,in line with GHG Protocol best practices.18.The model based its calculation on the proportion of FTEs at the EIB Group.See“Emissions inventory calculation”for further information.19.The quantity is measured using two methods:number of printed paper sheets(from EIB Group print
175、ers)and total kilograms of paper(ordered by the EIB).See“Emissions factors”for more information.24EIB GROUP 2022 CARBON FOOTPRINT REPORTEmissions factorsEmissions factors are calculated ratios relating greenhouse gas emissions to a measure of activity at an emissions source.They are used to convert
176、activity data to carbon emissions.Consistent with prior years,the emissions factors represent carbon dioxide equivalent(CO2e),wherever possible.They convert the impact of each of the six greenhouse gases covered by the Kyoto Protocol carbon dioxide(CO2),methane(CH4),nitrous oxide(N2O),hydrofluorocar
177、bons(HFCs),perfluorocarbons(PFCs)and sulphur hexafluoride(SF6)into a common unit of tonnes of CO2e based on their global warming potential(GWP).GWP is a measure of how much heat the respective gas retains in the atmosphere over a given period of time,based on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate C
178、hange(IPCC)s 100-year GWP coefficients.For all Scope 3 fuel emissions factors,the emissions factors include emissions from direct combustion and upstream emissions of producing fuels(mining,excavation and transportation).Emissions from paper use are calculated from the weight of paper used.Local pri
179、nter data show the number of pages printed or copied by paper size and these data are split into different categories of paper in order to derive associated paper weights.Copy centre paper data are provided in total number of sheets and paper size,from which the paper weight can be calculated.The su
180、m of all paper weights is multiplied by an emissions factor to calculate total greenhouse gas emissions.Emissions source 2022 emission factorChange vs.2021Data sourceNatural gas0.183 kgCO2e/kWh-UK government conversion factors for company reporting 2022Owned vehicles0(for electric vehicles)to 0.182

186、 footprint was also calculated using employee numbers.Since 2014,the methodology for calculating numbers of employees has changed from the total number of contracted employees(also known as headcount)to a full-time equivalent(FTE)basis.Since 2019,in addition to presenting aggregated results by scope
187、 in accordance with the GHG Protocol,we have also distinguished between“mobility”and“buildings-related”emissions to support the communication of their comparative weight within the total emissions.Homeworking methodologyA brief description of the methodology for calculating homeworking emissions is
188、explained below.For an in-depth description of the methodology,see the white paper.To calculate homeworking emissions,all energy use from office equipment(equipment provided by the EIB Group for use while teleworking)and home heating/cooling that would not have been required in an office-working sce
189、nario needs to be accounted for.This is referred to as incremental energy.For all elements considered,the base-case calculation method was used.The base case for office equipment calculations accounts for 100%of colleagues known to be working from home through the stated estimation methodology.The b
190、ase case for heating(natural gas,electricity or other combustion fuel)and cooling(air conditioning,where regionally appropriate)accounts for a typical homes heating and cooling energy requirements as noted within the country of operation.In calculating homeworking emissions,it is also necessary to d
191、etermine the hours during which incremental energy must be calculated.A five-day,40-hour week(eight hours per day)was assumed.From this base calculation of working hours,an expected 28 days(four weeks)of annual leave entitlement was deducted.Emissions from staff commuting to and from workIn 2020,the
192、 methodology to calculate commuting emissions was changed,as the previous count based on the number of parking spaces was significantly impacted by the social restrictions around the COVID-19 pandemic.The commuting emissions estimation tool uses the number of EIB Group FTEs to calculate the annual d
193、istance travelled by employees using different modes of transport.Assumptions were made on the proportions of car,bus,rail and tram/metro journeys taken based on transport data from the European Commission.The appropriate emissions factor for each mode of transport was then applied to calculate tota
194、l emissions.Emissions from equipment provided by the Bank to be used at home:base caseThe equipment considered for this methodology was typical office equipment provided by the Bank for use at home by employees.When calculating the base case of office equipment emissions,the power consumption of lap
195、tops,secondary screens,printers and lighting needs to be accounted for.However,the power consumed by these different types of devices can vary considerably.For workstation power consumption,we used an average“in-use”power load per desk of 140 W,following the Chartered Institution of Building Service
196、s Engineers Guide F:Energy efficiency in buildings(2012).For the use of lighting in home offices,we assumed an allowance of 10 W for the year.26EIB GROUP 2022 CARBON FOOTPRINT REPORTThese assumptions were then used to determine the total electrical energy used for office equipment using the followin
197、g equations:140 W number of homeworking FTEs WHpcm*/1 000=workstation kWh;10 W number of homeworking FTEs WHpcm*/1 000=lighting kWh;Workstation kWh+lighting kWh=total office electricity.*WHpcm:Working Hours per monthAfter calculating the total electrical energy consumed,this was multiplied by the ap
198、propriately sourced emissions factors for the corresponding countrys grid average factors in line with location-based methodology to calculate the emissions produced.Heating energy emissions:base caseWhen calculating the base case for heating energy emissions,the homeworking tool assumes that heatin
199、g cannot generally be restricted to a small working area and that time spent at home during the heating season requires the whole heating system to be active.Using the typical domestic consumption values of the UK Office of Gas and Electricity Markets(Ofgem)(updated in 2020),we adopted a reliable“me
200、dium”expectation of 12 000 kWh per year for domestic gas usage,of which 77%is attributable to heating.We also assumed an average of ten hours of heating per day,as suggested by UK energy suppliers.The calculation of heating demand is restricted to the widely recognised northern hemisphere heating se
201、ason of October to March(six months/182 days).To calculate heating demand,we used a monthly calculation approach:182 days 10 hours heating=1 820 hours;(12 000kWh 77%)/1 820 hours=c.5 kWh per hour.Using 5 kWh per hour as a base,we were able to calculate incremental heating energy using the following
202、formula:160 WHpcm 5kWh=800kWh of incremental heating consumption per homeworking FTE per heating month;800kWh (FTE homeworking%)=total incremental gas consumption per heating month.Once total heating energy has been calculated,it is possible to determine emissions by multiplying the appropriately so
203、urced emissions factors in line with typical heating energy usage.27APPENDIX II:METHODOLOGYData quality and completenessScopeEmissions sourceActivity dataAssumptions appliedScope 1Owned vehiclesPrimary dataFuel efficiency conversion based on manufacturers data.Natural gasPrimary data-Scope 2Purchase

209、The IEA electricity emissions factor used does not consider trade adjustments and is therefore an underestimate compared with reality.This methodological change had no impact on EIB Group net emissions.21.The use of the UK Department for Environment,Food&Rural Affairs(Defra)international flights emi
210、ssions factors in 2016 resulted in a slight increase in reported emissions that year.In 2017,the methodology was further refined to ensure the correct apportionment of flights emissions factors linked to origin and destination,either to or from the United Kingdom,or internationally.22.There was a mi
211、nor increase in minibus emissions due to the addition of vehicle emissions for internal mail distribution.Since late 2022,old diesel vehicles have been replaced with electric vehicles and will therefore be counted as producing zero emissions on a net basis.23.Emissions from commuting include emissio
212、ns from both private and public transport,and from EIB Group staff both working from the office and working from home(particularly in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic);however,the overall result for 2022 is an increase in commuting emissions despite a decrease in emissions related to worki
213、ng from home.Homeworking emissions did not decrease significantly between 2021 and 2022 as the scope of employees considered was greatly expanded in 2022.24.The inclusion of courier shipments has increased EIB Group gross emissions by approximately 70 tCO2e per annum since 2013,although these are of
214、fset and therefore considered zero on a net basis.25.Rental car emissions were first reported in 2016,increasing EIB Group net emissions by 92 tCO2e(0.5%of the overall net footprint).The data quality was improved in 2017 by using distance travelled rather than cost data.26.The introduction of water
215、emissions in 2013 has increased EIB Group net emissions by approximately 50 tCO2e per annum over and above baseline emissions.27.The inclusion of paper types and sizes in 2016 has required the restatement of previous emissions over the years.Furthermore,greater understanding of single-and double-sid
216、ed printing has allowed us to improve the methodology for paper reported from 2016 to 2019,which was holistically updated in 2019.28.As for electricity,if data centre emissions in 2015 had been calculated using IEA factors directly rather than being sourced via Defra,they would have been 88 tCO2e lo
217、wer than the 405 tCO2e reported.29APPENDIX II:METHODOLOGYExclusionsFor EIB Group external offices,only air travel(booked through the central system)is included within the scope of reporting.All other emissions sources for these offices are currently excluded because the required data are not availab
218、le.Further efforts will be made in subsequent reporting years to measure the environmental impact of international subsidiary offices.Hazardous waste,construction waste,and waste electrical and electronic equipment are also excluded due to these waste streams being measured by volume(m3)or other mea
219、surements instead of weight(kg),which is needed to calculate emissions.Again,emissions from these waste streams are likely to be very small as their total waste constitutes only 0.2%of the total net carbon footprint.Lastly,emissions from hotel stays are not added to the EIB total carbon footprint as
220、 they were not included in the baseline footprint.The EIB Group is committed to continually improving the quality of reported data,wherever possible,and continuing to fine-tune its methodology to improve the coverage and transparency of its disclosure.30EIB GROUP 2022 CARBON FOOTPRINT REPORTAPPENDIX
