Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP)
An important element of assessing our Drive Change programme and providing transparency to our commitments, is our annual CDP return (formally known as the Carbon Disclosure Project).
By utilising the CDP disclosure platform, we are aligned with the Task Force on Climate-related Disclosures (TCFD) and are reporting our progress in a comparable and consistent way that is relevant and accessible to the global economy. It is also externally verified and comparable year on year.
2020 Emission Verification
Providing transparency the boundary, scope and calculations for the 2020 greenhouse gas (GHG) assessment, Applegreen engaged a third party to verify the data. The objective of this verification is to confirm that GHG emissions declared are fairly stated and free from material error or omission in accordance with the CDP reporting requirements. Where possible, the verification process has been guided by the principles set out in ISO 14064-3: Greenhouse Gases, Part 3: Specification with Guidance for the Verification and Validation of Greenhouse Gas Assertion, Annex A.
Verification is undertaken through the review and testing of consolidated data and evidence, testing a sample of underlying data and emissions calculations. The review and testing of consolidated data and evidence, testing a sample of underlying data and emissions calculations.
