CHAPTER 6 | Danir GHG inventory report 2022 18

6. Analysis of results

The results show that all greenhouse gas emissions come from indirect sources. The GHG inventory calcu-
lations show that Scope 3 accounts for an overwhelming majority of the emissions, corresponding to 98%.
Figure 5 illustrates the emission-generating categories.

Figure 5. Distribution of Danir’s emissions between emission-generating categories.

It can be seen in Figure 5 that employee commuting and business travel account for the majority of the Danir
Group’s emissions, followed by purchased goods and services. Something that should be kept in mind when
studying the results is that some categories may have been undervalued in the reporting, such as capital
goods (only TV screens) and thus do not fully reflect the actual distribution of emissions between the cate-
gories. This is due to the method used for data collection, where a responsible person at each company was
tasked with collecting relevant data. There were also difficulties in obtaining data for specific purchases, which
meant that such data were not included. The method used by the responsible person to completely collect
data for travel and purchases could not be followed up or compared between companies. As a result, there is a
risk that some emission-generating items were missed and thus not included in the reporting.

The employee commuting category was calculated by the authors themselves, with the aim of including a rep-
resentative picture of each employee’s commute. This may be one reason why the item employee commuting
has had such a large impact on greenhouse gas emissions. A more detailed analysis of each emission-generat-
ing category is presented under the headings below.

6.1 Employee commuting

Employee commuting – employees’ travel to and from the workplace – accounts for a large proportion of
the Danir Group’s emissions. It is also the category over which the Group has the least control. The results
exemplify how short transport distances using fossil fuels can give rise to large greenhouse gas emissions
on an annual basis.
