tonnes CO2-eq, in 2024. This is primarily driven by the stationary combustion category which comes from the
Ukrainian offices. This category was not reported in 2023 however, which means that a proper comparison
year-on-year is hard to make. Looking at the other categories within Scope 1, fugitive emissions and company
vehicles, we can see a decrease this year compared to 2024.

The results from the Scope 2 calculations shows that electricity consumption is the most significant driver of
emissions and should be the primary focus for future reduction efforts. Heating remains a secondary contribu-
tor, while cooling currently has no measurable impact.

The decrease in reported Scope 2 emissions this year may be due to the consolidation of offices. In some
cases, a Swedish office has been included in a regional category and assigned the average European electricity
mix instead of the Swedish one, which influence the emissions. Danir Group has also contributed to the reduc-
tion by purchasing renewable energy in its offices in Sweden. Many of these offices are also located in modern
buildings, which are more energy efficient. Danir Group conducts an energy audit for all their offices in Swe-
den every four years in order to identify areas where we potentially could decrease the energy usage even
further. The offices located outside of Sweden are the main contributor to Danir Group’s Scope 2 emissions.
Globally, emissions are high since many offices have not yet switched over to renewable and/or origin-labelled
energy sources (as in many cases the option does not yet exist). Due to the consolidation of our smallest offic-
es and the estimated data for these, emissions may also be lower than reported.

Green district heating, when available, can also be purchased as a way to minimize emissions. Through the
data collection process, it was evident that many of the subsidiary companies did not have the data on energy
sources. To further reduce emissions, Danir Group’s subsidiaries can include prioritizing leasing electric and
hybrid cars instead of gasoline or diesel in their policies.

5.2 Scope 3

The three largest categories within Scope 3 will be analysed below along with the 2023 comparison.

5.2.1 PURCHASED GOODS AND SERVICES
Purchased goods and services accounts for 14% of Danir Group’s total emissions within all three Scopes. Elec-
tronics and miscellaneous purchases such as furniture represent the most significant part of the Purchased
goods and services category. The size of this category demonstrates the large impact that purchasing choices
have on the Danir Group’s total emissions.

Comparing the results of 2024 to 2023 we can see a steep increase from the previous year, of 86%. It should
however be noted that the transition to Position Green’s system, have made it easier to report different items
in this category, which means that there could have been some underreporting last year, compared to 2024.
It would still be advised that each subsidiary consider this increase and investigate how it could be decreased
going forward, see further information under Chapter 6.

Electronics are important work tools for employees in the Group and are therefore a necessary part of Danir
Group’s business. However, there are certain actions that influence the amount of emissions. A large amount
of the purchases are office furniture and décor. Since these have a large impact, it is worth keeping this in
mind during office renovations. Emissions are also affected by the amount of time that the products are being
used, with shorter usage time accounting for high emissions. Better maintenance for products and system
upgrades for electronics would allow for longer usage period and lower emissions.
