Carbon Footprint report

Innovative solutions support and inspire us, as well the customers we serve. We are committed to minimizing carbon emissions within our operations, including our supply chain. In 2021, we; 

• focused on reducing our emissions with targeted actions, such as electrifying our car fleet, promoting sustainable means of travel, and ensuring the transition towards renewable energy (through Guarantee of Origin).
• Changed our methodology approach from location-based to market-based and added new location. To ensure consistency of the report and methodology all emissions factors and emission data from 2019 to 2021 have been updated and recalculated.

Emission data for Scope 3 is now added in Atea’s Carbon Footprint Report.
