Methodology for Calculating GHG Emissions
“The Greenhouse Gas Protocol: A Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard” is used as the methodology for calculating GHG emissions. Scope 3 emissions in 2018 included emissions from business travel, employees’ commute to work, waste, leased assets and fuel sold. In 2019 and 2020, the scope was expanded to include emissions from the production of construction materials purchased in the Contracting Group, transportation of Toros Agri and Tekfen Agri products, transportation of raw materials to Toros Agri, production of the ammonia used in fertiliser production, electricity consumption of Toros Agri dealers, production of the fuels used, use of the fertilisers sold by Toros Agri and losses in purchased electricity. In 2021, emissions from the production of imported fertilisers and urea and ammonium sulphate were also included in the scope.
Emission Factors
The emission factors used can be found in the table below. The Global Warming Potential (GWP) coefficients were taken from the 4th Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Emission factors were taken from the IPCC, DEFRA Greenhouse Gas Reporting: Conversion Factors 2020 Report and International Energy Agency (IEA).
Scope 2 emissions were taken from the International Energy Agency’s (IEA) Emission Factors 2022 database. Emission factors are not published in this report as this database is not publicly available.
