I was not able to find G4-EN15b. The footnote addressing the climate relevant gases that they included in their calculation seems to be corresponding to just one of the categories of the Scope 3 emissions.

Specific statement:

"Thinkstep's LCA tool Gabi calculates emissions from supply chain and disposal processes, based on the carbon footprints of representative vehicles from the product lines (including the climate-relevant gases CO², CH4, N²O, SF6, NF³, among others). Corresponding with the CO²e emissions, energy consumption (lower heating value) is calculated based on the environmental footprints. Around 67,850,000 MWh in the supply chain as well as 460.000 MWh at the disposal companies."

 

Furthermore I found part of G4-EN15f information, namely the sources of emissions:

- Emissions of BMW Group locations

- Company Vehicles

- Company-owned planes

After having another look..

G4-EN15-b:

"Climate-relevant gases other than CO² are not included in Scope 1 and 2 emissions."

p.92 of the 2017 SVR presents the data for the years 2013-2017.
