List of ESG Factors
This is a list of ESG Factors as currently considered to capture most material Environmental Social and Corporate Governance criteria[1]. The list is structured in ESG groups / sub-groups / individual factors. For each factor there is an indication as to how it can be assessed / measured.
Environmental Factors
Factor | Measurement | Remarks |
---|---|---|
Emissions | ||
Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Total GHG emissions (broken down by scope 1, 2 and 3 carbon emissions) | Tonnes of CO2e |
|
Emissions of Air Pollutants | Weight in tonnes of air pollutants | ‘air pollutants’ means Direct Sulphur dioxides (SOx/SO2) emissions, Direct Nitrogen oxides (NOx/NO2) emissions, Direct Ammonia (NH3) emissions, Direct Particulate matter (PM2.5) emissions, Direct Non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOC) emissions, Direct total heavy metals (HM) emissions as referred to in Directive (EU) 2016/2284 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 December 2016 on the reduction of national emissions of certain atmospheric pollutants, amending Directive 2003/35/EC and repealing Directive 2001/81/EC |
Emissions of water pollutants | Weight in tonnes of water pollutants | ‘water pollutants’ means Direct Nitrates emissions (scope 1), Direct Phosphate emissions (scope 1), Direct Pesticides emissions (scope 1), Direct emissions of priority substances (scope 1) as defined in the Directive 2000/60/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2000 establishing a framework for Community action in the field of water policy , Council Directive of 12 December 1991 concerning the protection of waters against pollution caused by nitrates from agricultural sources (91/676/EEC), Council Directive 91/271/EEC of 21 May 1991 concerning urban waste-water treatment 235 and Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 November 2010 on industrial emissions (integrated pollution prevention and control) |
Emissions of inorganic pollutants | Weight in tonnes of inorganic pollutants | ‘inorganic pollutants’ means emissions within or lower than the emission levels associated with the best available techniques (BAT-AEL) ranges set out in the Best Available Techniques Reference Document (BREF) for the Large Volume Inorganic Chemicals - Solids and Others industry |
