01.07Product Carbon FootprintTotal lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions attributable to a single product unit, from raw material extraction through end-of-life, in kg CO2 equivalent.kgWeighted averageLower
01.08Biogenic EmissionsCO2 emissions from the combustion or biodegradation of biomass, reported separately from fossil-fuel emissions, in tonnes CO2.tSumLower

01.10Methane EmissionsMass of methane emitted over the reporting period, in tonnes of CH4 rather than CO2 equivalent. A disaggregation of scope 1 emissions by gas, not an addition to the scope 1 total.tSumLower
