Scope 1 includes building emissions such as refrigeration and heating, company shittlesand corporate jet travel. Scope 2 includes data centre electricity consumption and purchased electricity for own use. Scope 3 includes purchased goods, fuel and energy-related activities, transport and distribution, upstream leased assets, and waste generated in operations and investments.
2. Full Global reference dataset
