i. The rationale for choosing it
We determined 2013 as the most appropriate year to set our baseline as it was the most representative of our portfolio, both in terms of site footprint as well as data coverage.
ii. Emissions in the base year
339,602
iii. The context for any significant changes in emissions that triggered recalculations of base year emissions Source of the emission factors and global warming potentials (GWP) rates used
