Scope 3: Category 6, Business travel Definition

GHG Protocol boundaries
The Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions of transportation carriers that occur during use of vehicles (for example, from energy use). Optional: The life cycle emissions associated with manufacturing vehicles or infrastructure. Activity data provided by Transurban’s business travel partner/s is multiplied by relevant emissions factors for domestic and international air travel, such as factors from UK DEFRA guidelines as recommended by the GHG Protocol. Transurban does not report against the optional Scope 3, Category 6 boundary due to an assessment that associated emissions are not material to the Group’s overall emissions profile.

Scope 3: Category 15, Investments Definition
Operation of investments (including equity and debt investments, and project finance) not included in Scope 1 or Scope 2
GHG Protocol boundaries Calculation methodology
Equity investments made by the reporting company using the company’s own capital and balance sheet.
Scope 1 and Scope 2 operational emissions are obtained directly from equity partners for asset operations where Transurban does not have operational or financial control or otherwise calculated by Transurban using the relevant Scope 1 and Scope 2 measurement methodologies described elsewhere in this document (based on equity-partner reported fuel and electricity quantities). These emissions are then apportioned based on Transurban’s equity interest.
