Calculating scope 1,2 and 3-emissions

In line with the categorization developed by the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, in Danish Crown we are calculating and disclosing the greenhouse gas emissions in three so-called broad scopes, covering 1,2 and 3. Scopes 1 and 2 cover direct and indirect emissions from assets directly owned by us. It can, for example, be the emissions from cars owned by Danish Crown or the electricity we as a group use in processing facilities and abattoirs. Here, the goal is to reduce emissions by 42% from 2020 to 2030.

As scope 3-emmisions are outside of our control, they are the most difficult to calculate. We have completed the first calculations of our scope 3 greenhouse gas inventory during 2021, and we will work continuously on ensuring reliable data for all scope 3 categories. We have had specific focus on our farm-level greenhouse gas emissions as these account for the majority of our scope 3 emissions.

The calculations are based on our most recent life cycle assessment (LCA) calculations for different production countries and animal types. We have used physical level data (full inventory) for most scope 3 categories, including feed, meat sourced from third parties, logistics, packaging, and ingredients.

Calculations of farm-level greenhouse gas emissions are based on a combination of data from our farmers in the Climate Track and national averages for countries or animal types where the Climate Track has not been rolled out. Our logistics footprint is largely based on supplier-specific primary data from Tier 1 suppliers.

For other major categories of purchased goods and services, we have used activity data and their respective emission factors. This covers most of our scope 3. For a few small categories, we have applied industry-average emission factors on the economic value of the goods and services purchased (spend-based method).
