Ballard ESG Report 2019

OUR CORPORATE COMMITMENTS

Monitoring and Reducing GHG Emissions

GHG Inventory

1 st

In 2019, we conducted our first corporate greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory, which assessed the emissions generated by our business activities in Burnaby, Canada and Hobro, Denmark. The inventory, which was conducted by Offsetters Climate Solutions (an independent consultant firm specialized in carbon-management solutions), calculated the GHGs generated in our facilities, including the consumption of natural gas and electricity in our buildings; diesel and gasoline in company vehicles; and other emissions generated by commuting, air travel, shipping, and hydrogen use for our R&D and production activities. The assessment, which adhered to the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard , covered 2017 and 2018. It provides us with baseline data which helps us understand our climate impacts and identify opportunities for improvement. In future ESG reports, we expect to provide year- on-year metrics that include each previous year. Now that we have quantified our corporate emissions, we can address our climate impacts, and will prioritize reducing the largest sources first.
