Key Terms

4 terms

scope 1 technical

"aggregate Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) 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

"aggregate Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) 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.

ghg technical

"greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions intensity"

Greenhouse gases (GHGs) are air pollutants like carbon dioxide and methane that trap heat in the atmosphere, similar to how a blanket holds in body warmth. For investors, GHGs matter because companies' emissions affect regulatory costs, reputational risk, and long-term business viability as governments and consumers push for lower emissions; measuring and reducing GHGs can signal future compliance, efficiency gains, or potential liabilities.

emissions intensity technical

"reducing aggregate Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions intensity"

Emissions intensity measures how much greenhouse gas a company releases for each unit of output — for example, tons of CO2 per dollar of revenue, per megawatt-hour of electricity, or per ton of product. Investors treat it like a fuel-efficiency rating: lower intensity means a business creates less pollution for the same output, which can signal lower regulatory, operational and reputational risks and potential cost advantages over time.
