At DMGT we evaluate and manage our impact by measuring and reporting on our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. |
Methodology DMGT is committed to comprehensive and transparent reporting of our environmental performance. |
Our baseline year for carbon emissions is FY operational control consolidation approach. |
The data supporting our carbon footprint is collated and independently reviewed by environmental consultancy ICF International. |
The footprint is developed in accordance with the GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standards, and the methodology is also in line with HMG Environmental Reporting Guidelines. |
Emission factors used are predominately sourced from BEIS conversion factors 2020. |
Other data sources are used for the emission factors for the electricity consumed in non-UK operations. |
This report is in alignment with the requirements of the Streamlined Energy & Carbon Reporting (SECR) regulation for UK businesses. |
Scope of natural gas for heating purposes, use of diesel and gasoline in our fleet. |
Carbon Footprint Footprint Results Our FY tCO2e (2019 21,900). |
