will only use electric cars as company cars.
The policy will first be implemented in our
companies in Denmark and then in countries
where it is feasible in terms of infrastructure,
and it will only apply to cars.
This will allow us to gradually phase out
passenger cars that use fossil fuels as current
leases expire. By 2030, all cars that use fossil
fuels in Denmark will be phase out. By the
end of this financial year, we have 56 EVs
globally, which is a 100% increase compared to
2021/22 when we had 28 EVs.

Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG)
The Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG) is
the leading international standard for how
CO2 emissions are measured and reported
as CO2 equivalents (CO2e). You measure
according to three types of emissions,
referred to as Scope 1, 2 and 3.
Scope 1
Direct emissions from activities that the
company itself controls, i.e., emissions from
own vehicles and own heat and energy
production facilities.
Scope 2
Indirect emissions from supplied energy,
including electricity and district heating. The
emission happens elsewhere, e.g., at local
heat and power stations or district heating
plants.

Scope 2 emissions have also decreased as
we have continuously increased the amount of
purchased renewable energy and self-generated
electricity via solar panels, while focusing on
optimisation and energy efficiency.

Our overall CO2 index, called the Emissions
Intensity, shows a significant decrease from
2019/20 to 2022/23. The Scope 1 index has
dropped from 1.22 to 1.09 and the Scope 2
index has dropped from 2.68 to 1.02.
See Figure 4 and Figure 5.
Scope 3
As previously described, we have launched a
global initiative regarding Environmental Product
Declarations (EPD) to collect CO2e emissions
calculations throughout the entire value chain of
a given product. The decision to start working
on EPDs before working on Scope 3 was
partly made in response to requests from our
customers.
We will increase focus on AVK’s total value
chain emissions, Scope 3, and in 2023/24 we
will define and calculate selected significant
Scope 3 emissions based on a materiality
analysis. Likewise, we will take all necessary
actions to reduce CO2 emissions.
Mapping Scope 3 is a large and complex task,
as our companies’ value chains are diverse with
great variation in the raw materials purchased
and their carbon footprint. We will strive to
create a consistent approach in our Scope 3
data setup.

Overall, Scope 1 emissions have decreased
in the financial year 2022/23 due to a strong
decrease in natural gas consumption. Several
production sites have converted from using
gas to using low-energy solutions such as heat
pumps.
