22 Danir GHG inventory report 2023 | CHAPTER 5

Danir Group has already succeeded in decreasing emissions from its energy use by purchasing renewable energy
in its offices in Sweden. Many of these offices are also located in modern buildings, which are more energy
efficient. An energy audit is conducted every four years. The offices located outside of Sweden drive most
of Danir Group’s Scope 2 emissions. Globally, emissions are high because 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).

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.

5.2.1 PURCHASED GOODS AND SERVICES
Purchased goods and services accounts for 8% of Danir Group’s total emissions within all three Scopes.
The distribution of emissions between the identified items is shown in Figure 16.

8% 14% Coffee, tea and fruit
21% Laptops
of Danir’s emissions 13% Monitors
5% Mobile phones
47% Miscellaneous
purchased goods & services
0% Headphones
0% TV screens
0% Cleaning services

Figure 16. Distribution of emissions between the items within the purchased goods and services category.

Electronics and miscellaneous purchases represent the most significant part of the Purchased goods and
services category. There has been large variation in the data sent in for purchased goods and services which
likely effects the results. Because of this, it is possible that the emissions for this category are underrepresented.
The size of this category demonstrates the large impact that purchasing choices have on the Danir Group’s
total emissions.

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.
