Metric tonnes CO2e

Emissions calculation methodology

As part of its supplier environmental program, adidas already tracks the energy consumption and energy source of its strategic Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers. Considering the importance of also calculating the related GHG emissions, adidas will start from 2019 onwards to also calculate this scope 3 emissions.

4535

Data relates to scope 3 emissions from fuels and electricity generation as well as transition and distribution losses per country adidas operates in. Calculation is based on data provided from 60 owned and leased sites worldwide, including administration offices, own production sites and distribution centers, which in total should cover around 90% of the area occupied by adidas, excluding the retail business.

Waste generated in operations

Evaluation status

Relevant, calculated

Metric tonnes CO2e

513

The DEFRA 2019 methodology (UK Government conversion factors for Company Reporting/Waste Disposal) was used to calculate the related GHG (in CO2e).

Business travel

Evaluation status

Relevant, calculated

Metric tonnes CO2e

100504

Data relates to business travel by air only. Calculation is based on flight data from adidas' external travel agency which details the type of flight class and distance. Then, the DEFRA 2017 methodology (2017 UK Government conversion factors for Company Reporting/Business travel - air) was used to calculate the related GHG emissions (in CO2e). Data includes radiative forcing and uplift factor as proposed by DEFRA
