Sustainability Report
Access has also implemented an energy
performance site selection programme,
where the energy e昀케ciency of new buildings
is considered before leases are secured or
renewed.
Scope 1, Scope 2 and, if appropriate, Scope
3 greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions and
the related risks
Access Scope 1, 2 and 3 greenhouse gas
(GHG) emissions are included in detail on
pages 27 and 28 of this report. These have
been calculated using the GHG Protocol
methodology.
SCOPE 3
Scope 3 emissions include the following
categories:
•
Category 1 (purchased goods and
services)
•
Category 2 (capital goods)
•
Category 3 (fuel and energy related
activities)
•
Category 5 (waste generated in
operations)
•
Category 6 (business travel)

Categories 3.11 (use of sold products) and
3.12 (end-of-life treatment of sold products)
have not been measured as we do not
believe it is material, however going forward
it is something we will continue to track and
evaluate.
Access recognises that the risks associated
with ignoring climate change include physical
climate disruption, resource depletion, and
various knock-on transitional e昀昀ects, as well
as the business speci昀椀c risks already identi昀椀ed
and discussed in the TCFD strategy section.
As a business with a vast value chain, Access
also recognises that it must play its part
to mitigate the e昀昀ects of climate change
through a robust climate change management
strategy.
