CWT Responsible Business Report 2012 - Carlson Wagonlit Travel

ContentsChapter 5 - Environment 2012 Responsible Business Report -Chapter 5CWT’s environmentalapproachCWT’s carbonmanagement projectFocus on the 2011 carbon footprint of CWT’s 3 entities in France:CWT France, CWT Distribution, and CWT Meetings & EventsMethodology: Calculation of greenhouse gas emissions according to the GHG Protocol methodology. Emission factors taken into account were those of the“Base Carbone” (ADEME V 7.1).Buildings: Energy consumption was estimated from energy expenditure per supplier. Service charges were not included.Business travel: Business travel included the fuel consumption of leased cars and service vehicles. Fuel consumption of private vehicles for business purposeswas estimated from reimbursements per kilometer. Travel by plane and train was extracted from the PMC carbon management system in km and tCO 2e.Commuting: Commuting trips were estimated from the number of public transport cards reimbursed by CWT, with additional input from French NationalInstitute of Statistics (INSEE) studies.Reducing CWT’sgreenhouse gasemissions andmanaging energyconsumptionMore environmentalbest practicesin CWT geographiesCWT FranceCWT DistributionCWTM&ETOTAL *Scope 1: Direct emissions 455 655 20 1 128 tCO 2eEnergy consumption of buildings (gas and heating oil) 155 620 0 776 tCO 2eEnergy consumption of company cars andservice vehicles300 35 20 352 tCO 2eScope 2: Indirect emissions 80 120 5 207 tCO 2eElectricity consumption of buildings 80 120 5 207 tCO 2eScope 3: Other indirect emissions 2 550 1 225 115 3 886 tCO 2eOther emissions due to energy (excluding scopes 1 and 2)(upstream emissions and online losses)85 75 5 163 tCO 2eBusiness trips (train, plane and private cars) 165 50 10 221 tCO 2eCommuting trips 2 300 1 100 100 3 501 tCO 2eTOTAL 3 085 2 000 140 5 220 tCO 2e*Note: Numbers may not add due to roundingScope: The study was based onthe three legal entities controlledby CWT in France: CWT Distribution,CWT France and CWT M&E. Theseentities have in total about 2,000full-time-equivalent employees.CWT France represented the majorityof greenhouse gas emissions( 59%). CWT Distribution accountedfor 38% and the remaining 3% CWTM&E. Commuting was the mainsource of emissions for all threeentities (67%), followed by theenergy consumption of buildings(21%) and business travel (12%).Enabling customersto be moreenvironmentally friendlyIn 2011, greenhouse gas emissions from activities in France represented 5,220 metric tons of CO 2equivalent ( tCO 2e), i.e. 39% of greenhouse gasemissions from the four countries included in the company’s pilot project.Copyright © 2013 CWT63
