    Carbon emissions decrease by 4.8%

    ENVIRONMENT

    In 2015, Scentre Group total greenhouse gas emissions totalled 415,375 tonnes, which represents a decrease of 20,924 tonnes (4.8%) in comparison to previous years’ emissions.

    The largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions are indirect emissions (Scope 2), which result from the consumption of purchased electricity. Direct emissions (Scope 1) represented 4% of total greenhouse gas emissions of Scentre Group and other indirect emissions (Scope 3) represented 26%.

    Our electricity consumption is the largest contributor to total greenhouse gas emissions; therefore we spend a great deal of effort to try to reduce our usage.
