Key Terms

total recordable incident rate, scope 1, scope 2, greenhouse gas emissions intensity
4 terms
total recordable incident rate technical
"Achieved a Total Recordable Incident Rate of 1.20"
Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) measures how often a company's workers experience recordable workplace injuries or illnesses, scaled to a standard workforce size (commonly reported per 100 full‑time employees or per 200,000 work hours). Investors use it like a safety 'accident rate'—higher numbers signal greater operational risk, potential costs from medical bills, lost productivity, fines or reputational damage, while lower numbers suggest safer operations and steadier long‑term performance.
scope 1 technical
"Reduced scope 1 and scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions intensity"
Scope 1 are the greenhouse gas emissions a company produces directly from sources it owns or controls, like fuel burned in company vehicles, boilers, or on-site factories. Think of it as the smoke coming out of a business’s own chimney versus electricity it buys from the grid. Investors watch Scope 1 because these direct emissions can create regulatory costs, operational changes, and reputational risks that affect profitability and long-term value.
scope 2 technical
"Reduced scope 1 and scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions intensity"
Scope 2 covers the greenhouse gas emissions produced indirectly when a business uses energy it buys from others—most commonly electricity, but also steam, heating or cooling. Think of it like the pollution linked to your household’s electricity bill: you didn’t burn the fuel yourself, but your consumption still causes emissions. Investors watch Scope 2 because it affects a company’s climate footprint, energy costs, regulatory exposure and reputation, all of which can influence long‑term financial performance.
greenhouse gas emissions intensity technical
"greenhouse gas emissions intensity by 13% year-over-year"
Greenhouse gas emissions intensity measures how much greenhouse gas a company or activity produces for each unit of output—commonly per dollar of revenue, per product made, or per unit of energy used—so it shows pollution relative to scale rather than total emissions. Investors use it like a “miles per gallon” gauge for carbon efficiency to compare peers, judge regulatory or carbon‑pricing exposure, and assess whether operations are becoming cleaner or riskier over time.
