All calculations include relevant GHG as specified by the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Protocol. The data in this table excludes ONE Brands, ® Lily’s, Dot’s and Pretzels. Emission factor sources include: Scope 1: ecoinvent and DEFRA. Scope 2: EPA Emissions & Generation Resource Integrated Database (eGRID), Quantis Scope 3 evaluator, Green-e Energy Residual Mix Emissions Rate and the emission rates of our electricity providers. Scope 3: ecoinvent, Quantis Dryad tool and the emission rates of our suppliers. Operational control. GHG Protocol standard used. 4 Totals may not equal 100%, due to rounding. 5 Environmental data within this table has been assured by Quantis, an independent verifier. 6 Hershey’s total GHG footprint is calculated based on Scope 1, Scope 2 (market-based) and Scope 3 emissions.
