Scope 1,2 and 3

Calculating our impact

Find out more about our work for controlling and showing our impact calculations in our work with the scope 1,2 and 3.

Our impact matters

We have a goal to be fully transparent in our scope1, 2 and 3 calculations by Q2 2025, but are well aware that we can be delayed in that proces. In 2021 we we're one of the founding members of STICA, and we have had our scope 1 and 2 caluclated since the very beginning of the brand.

This page is to be updated as we are in work with controlling and showing our full value chains impact on earth measured in green house gasses (GHG impact) and what you can expect from us.

Your values is our promise.

Greenhouse gas emissions

Scope 1: DIrect

Scope 1 emissions are direct greenhouse gas emissions that occur from sources owned or controlled by Superstainable. These include emissions from:

  • Fossil Fuels: Combustion of fossil fuels in boilers, furnaces, vehicles, and equipment.
  • Process Emissions: Emissions released during industrial processes, such as chemical production or metal processing.
  • Fugitive Emissions: Unintended releases of gases, such as natural gas leaks.

Impact Calculation
To calculate our Scope 1 emissions we will use the volume of fuel consumed (in liters or cubic meters) and apply emission factors based on standard methodologies (e.g., the GHG Protocol or IPCC guidelines from the danish goverments Klimakompasset.dk).

Scope 2: Indirect

Scope 2 emissions refer to indirect GHG emissions from the consumption of purchased electricity, steam, heating, and cooling in Superstainable. Although these emissions occur at the power plant, they are attributed to our organization in Silkeborg, Denmark.

Impact Calculation
To estimate Scope 2 emissions, we track the amount of electricity (or other energy forms) bought and consumed.

Utilities often provide emission factors based on their energy mix (renewables vs. fossil fuels).

Scope 3

Scope 3 emissions are another category of indirect emissions, encompassing all other emissions that occur in our value chain, both upstream and downstream. This includes emissions from:

  • Upstream Activities: Includes emissions from the production of purchased goods and services, transportation, waste disposal, and employee commuting.
  • Downstream Activities: Includes emissions from product use, end-of-life treatment, and investments.

Impact Calculation
Calculating Scope 3 emissions is the most complex part due to its wide-ranging activities. We use sector-specific guidance and life cycle analysis (LCA) to quantify these emissions.

We are yet to conclude
