The company discloses the extent to which natural resources are used for the company’s business activities. Possible options here are materials, the input and output of water, soil, waste, energy, land and biodiversity as well as emissions for the life cycles of products and services.
The company discloses what qualitative and quantitative goals it has set itself with regard to its resource efficiency, in particular its use of renewables, the increase in raw material productivity and the reduction in the usage of ecosystem services, which measures and strategies it is pursuing to this end, how these are or will be achieved, and where it sees there to be risks.
Key Performance Indicator G4-EN1
Materials used by weight or volume.
This performance indicator is currently immaterial for DEKRA as a services company.
Key Performance Indicator G4-EN3
Energy consumption within the organisation.
The development of DEKRA’s energy consumption is to be seen in the context of the company’s overall growth. Energy consumption is therefore assessed relative to the headcount. The energy consumption per employee amounts to: 2015: 8,562 kWh, 2014: 8,611 kWh, 2013: 8,689 kWh (the figures for 2016 were not yet available at the time when the Declaration of Conformity was being drawn up as the invoices of the energy supplier and external property manager are only submitted at mid year).
Scope: DEKRA Germany excluding DEKRA Arbeit. The figures are based on the results of a detailed energy audit carried out in 2015 and correspond to extrapolations derived from this audit.
Key Performance Indicator G4-EN6
Reduction of energy consumption.
Key Performance Indicator G4-EN8
Total water withdrawal by source.
This performance indicator is currently not evaluated as it is not assigned top priority for environmental management at DEKRA as a services company.
Key Performance Indicator G4-EN23
Total weight of waste by type and disposal method.
This performance indicator is currently not evaluated as it is not assigned top priority for environmental management at DEKRA as a services company.
The company discloses the GHG emissions in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol or standards based on it and states the goals it has set itself to reduce emissions, as well as its results thus far.
Key Performance Indicator G4-EN15
Direct greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Scope 1).
Key Performance Indicator G4-EN16
Indirect greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Scope 2).
The following CO2 emissions were caused through DEKRA’s use of electricity per employee in 2015: 523 kg CO2, 2014: 525 kg CO2, 2013: 527 kg CO2 (the figures for 2016 were not yet available at the time when the Declaration of Conformity was being drawn up as the invoices of the energy supplier and external property manager are only submitted at mid-year).
Scope: DEKRA Germany excluding DEKRA Arbeit. The energy consumption figures and the associated emissions are based on the results of a detailed energy audit performed in 2015 and correspond to extrapolations derived from this audit.
Key Performance Indicator G4-EN17
Other indirect greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Scope 3).
The German DEKRA companies caused the following CO2 emissions per employee through travel by air, rail, hired car: 2016: 189 kg CO2, 2015: 183 kg CO2.
Scope: DEKRA Germany. The figures for trips by rail and hired car and flights are based on the analyses of our respective contractual partners. A reliable analysis has only been available since 2015.
Key Performance Indicator G4-EN19
Reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
The CO2 emissions per employee have developed as follows: Scope 1 (heating): 2015: 1,778 kg CO2, 2014: 1,790 kg CO2, 2013: 1,809 kg CO2. Scope 2 (vehicle fleet): 2016: 319 kg CO2, 2015: 342 kg CO2. Scope 2 (electricity): 2015: 523 kg CO2, 2014: 525 kg CO2, 2013: 527 kg CO2. Scope 3 (business travel of German companies by air, rail, hired car): 2016: 189 kg CO2, 2015: 183 kg CO2.
Scope: DEKRA Germany excluding DEKRA Arbeit. The energy consumption figures and the associated CO2 emissions (heating, electricity) are based on the results of a detailed energy audit performed in 2015 and correspond to extrapolations derived from this audit. A reliable analysis of vehicle fleet data has only been available since 2015. The figures for trips by rail and hired car and flights are based on the analyses of our respective contractual partners (Scope: DEKA Germany).
