Project name: Analysis of the carbon footprint scope 1 and 2 for Croatia osiguranje d.d. for the year 2022 with an overview of measures to reduce emissions
Client: Croatia osiguranje d.d.
Period: 5/2023 – 10/2023
Location: Croatia
The objective of the project was to analyze the Scope 1 and 2 carbon footprint of Croatia osiguranje d.d. for the year 2022. The carbon footprint analysis was conducted in accordance with the HRN EN ISO 14064-1:2018 standard and the methodology of the GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard.
The analysis included a review of energy consumption that generates Scope 1 and 2 emissions within Croatia osiguranje d.d. The covered energy sources included both stationary and mobile sources, specifically natural gas, extra light fuel oil, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), diesel, and gasoline, as well as electricity and thermal energy. The analysis encompassed the development of a greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory, confirmation of organizational boundaries, and verification of reporting boundaries defined in the previous reporting cycle. The greenhouse gases covered by the analysis included carbon dioxide (CO₂), methane (CH₄), and nitrous oxide (N₂O), with emission calculations based on emission factors from the Sixth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
The analysis identified 30 company-owned properties that contributed the most to emissions resulting from electricity consumption. Furthermore, it determined the locations of business premises with the highest share of total electricity consumption. It was established that company-owned business premises in Zagreb (Vatroslav Jagić Street) and Velika Gorica accounted for 50.9% of electricity-related emissions.
Since it was not possible to define greenhouse gas emission reduction targets for buildings, due to the need for an energy audit-based assessment of measure effectiveness and a review of financial costs of previously implemented measures, the analysis focused on measures with the highest potential for emission reductions, as well as those with the potential to contribute to further emission reductions.
The implementation of this project contributes to the following Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):
