new regional emission factors for electricity – in line with 3. guidance from the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Standard, we are now using “regional” electricity emission factors for the US (eGrid), Canada (National Inventory Report 2015) and Australia (National Greenhouse Account 2015) and the UK keeps using DEFRA classification. This has reduced though the overall impact on our total 2015 GHG emissions is minimal (-0.25%); 2015 electricity emissions for the US by 8.6%, Canada by 7.7% and increased Australia’s electricity emissions by 4.5%, transition to IEA emission factors – with the exception of the 4. UK (which uses emission factors from the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA)), US, Canada and Australia (which are mentioned above), for all other countries Scope 2 Electricity Emissions are now calculated using the International Energy Agency (IEA) electricity emission factors, rather than DEFRA factors (country level factors were more recent IEA factors for each country; discontinued by DEFRA this year). This has reduced our 2015 emissions by 0.7%, largely due to the fact that we are using

Headline target: To reduce total carbon emissions per employee by 20% by 2020. This covers our total reported GHG emissions, with a focus on reducing these per employee. As a provider of services in consulting, technology and outsourcing, people are at the centre of our business and the number of people we employ is the most significant factor in supported by additional reduction targets focused on our three most significant sources of emissions: determining our emissions. This headline target aims at disrupting the link between our total emissions and our growth as a business. It is

Measuring our environmental performance

We have estimated the data for the remaining 1.2% of operations, by applying a relevant uplift to each emission source to account for operations where we do not have data collection processes in place. This estimated data is provided within the environmental data tables at the end of this section labeled as ‘Other Operations’ and further explanations are given in the table footnotes.
