Although we are not legally required to report on sustainability, we are aware of our responsibility to protect the environment. To understand the ecological footprint at Boost, transparently track and reduce our environmental impact, and encourage other companies to take similar steps, we conducted a detailed analysis of CO₂e emissions from our business activities. We have conducted a detailed analysis of the CO₂ emissions from our business activities.
Scope 1 Emissions
Scope 1 emissions are direct greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from sources owned or controlled by the organization. This includes emissions from fuel combustion in vehicles, boilers, furnaces, and other equipment owned by the company. In Boost’s data, the consumption of Diesel and Eurosuper would fall under Scope 1 emissions as they are directly related to the fuel used by our organization’s vehicles.
Scope 2 Emissions
Scope 2 emissions are indirect greenhouse gas emissions associated with the purchase of electricity, steam, heat, or cooling. These emissions occur at the facility where the energy is produced but are accounted for in your organization’s greenhouse gas inventory because they result from your energy consumption. For example, if a company or institution purchases electricity to power its operations, the emissions from the power plant that produced that electricity would be considered Scope 2 emissions.
Scope 3 Emissions
Scope 3 emissions are all other indirect emissions that occur in the value chain of the reporting company, both upstream and downstream. This includes emissions from the production of purchased goods and services, transportation and distribution, waste disposal, and even employee commuting. Scope 3 emissions often represent the largest share of a company’s carbon footprint, encompassing a wide range of activities that the company does not directly control but are related to its operations.
NOTE: We will include Scope 3 in the calculation for 2024.
These are our results:
Scope 1 – Direct emissions (fuel consumption)
- Diesel: Consumption of 3,562.48 liters resulted in emissions of 10.88 tons of CO₂e.
- Eurosuper: Consumption of 391.27 liters resulted in emissions of 1.07 tons of CO₂e.
- Total for Scope 1: 11.95 tons of CO₂e.
Scope 2 – Indirect emissions (electricity consumption)
- Electricity (ZG): Consumption of 2044 kW resulted in emissions of 0.47 tons of CO₂e.
- Total for Scope 2: 0.47 tons of CO₂e.
Boost’s total emissions for 2023: 12.42 tons of CO₂e
Note: Data for electricity consumption are based on extrapolation from HEP’s price list for entrepreneurship (archive 2023), using a price factor of €0.19/kW.
Emission factors were calculated according to national energy balances for the period from 2015 to 2020, using all relevant elementary flows characteristic of the Croatian power system.
We invite all companies that need greenhouse gas emission calculations to contact us. Whether you are under a legal obligation or need the calculation due to customer, supplier, or other stakeholder requirements in the value chain, our team is here for you with professional and accurate emission calculations.
Let’s work together for a more sustainable future!
