SCOPES 1 AND 2 GLOBAL GHG EMISSIONS In 2023, a third-party auditor certified our Scopes 1 and 2 emissions for the second year in a row in accordance with the globally recognized Greenhouse Gas Protocol. Our Scope 1 and SF 6 gas emissions increased 3 percent and 12 percent, respectively, compared to 2022. This was attributed to increased sales of one of our product lines containing SF 6 gas. However, process-improvement projects have resulted in a continued decline of our global GHG emissions intensity.
Demonstrating Improvement Through Transparent Reporting We demonstrate our commitment to transparency through our disclosures to CDP, which we have reported to since 2018. In 2023, we achieved a B score (based on 2022 data), indicating steady year-over-year improvement. Our performance improved across most categories, and we will continue to use this as a resource for future reporting.

In September 2023, we recognized Zero Emissions Day for the first time at S&C. As part of this celebration, we announced a new commuter program available to our Chicago, Franklin, and Palatine team members. The program offers team members a reliable and sustainable mode of transportation to and from work while also reducing transportation barriers and providing cost savings.

VARIANCE FROM 2014
1 2022 data in this report may not be consistent with data in the 2022 S&C Sustainability Report because of inconsistencies identified by a third-party audit conducted in 2023. 2 Fugitive SF 6 gas and stationary source emissions presented in this chart may not add up precisely to the totals provided because smaller sources included in the totals are not shown in this chart.
