| Code | Label | Definition | Unit | Aggregation | Better |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
06.01 | SOx Emissions | Total mass of sulphur oxides released to air from stationary and mobile sources, in tonnes. | t | Sum | Lower |
06.02 | NOx Emissions | Total mass of nitrogen oxides released to air from combustion and industrial processes, in tonnes. | t | Sum | Lower |
06.03 | VOC Emissions | Total mass of volatile organic compounds released to air from solvents, coatings, and industrial processes, in tonnes. | t | Sum | Lower |
06.04 | Particulate Matter Emissions | Total mass of fine particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10) released to air from operations, in tonnes. | t | Sum | Lower |
06.05 | Substances of Concern | Total mass of substances of concern or substances of very high concern (SVHC) present in products or released during production, in kilograms. | kg | Sum | Lower |
06.06 | Ozone-Depleting Substance Emissions | Total mass of ozone-depleting substances released, measured in kg CFC-11 equivalent. | kg | Sum | Lower |
06.07 | Nitrogen Discharged to Water | Total mass of nitrogen discharged to water over the reporting period, in tonnes. Reported as a load rather than a concentration, because a load aggregates across sites and is what drives downstream eutrophication. | t | Sum | Lower |
06.08 | Phosphorus Discharged to Water | Total mass of phosphorus discharged to water over the reporting period, in tonnes. Reported as a load rather than a concentration, because a load aggregates across sites and is what drives downstream eutrophication. | t | Sum | Lower |
