Scorecard Footnotes
1The company has restated its 2019 Scope 1 CO2e emissions to reflect a correction to that calculation. The original reported value for Scope 1 was 710,667 metric tons of CO2e.
2The company’s GHG inventory for 2020 has been independently verified according to the standards required for a limited level of assurance.
3For 2020, the company has added the disclosure of biogenic CO2 from the combustion of biomass materials, primarily landfill biogas.
4This accounting does not currently include organics and industrial recycling, but will be revised to include these materials as factors become available in future reporting years.
5The 2019 net climate benefit factor has been revised due to the change noted in Footnote 1.
6This value includes $140,000.00 of in-kind donations of COVID PPE.
