Remarks:
- Figures refer to data compiled from production and R&D sites. Travel (car, air) data was included also from reporting by administrative sites.
- The following emissions sources are included:
- Scope 1: heat and power generation / road travel (owned/leased cars) / on-site internal haz. waste incineration / volatile organic compounds
- Scope 2: purchased electricity / purchased steam / heat
- Scope 3: air travel / external waste incineration / patient use of inhaler products (not included yet, but under evaluation: external transport of products)
