CHAPTER 5 | Danir GHG inventory report 2023 23

Circular solutions for electronics, where access to necessary electronics can be offered as a service rather
than the purchase of individual products, might have an effect in the Group’s emissions. Such services allow
products to be better taken care of, last longer and be better utilised during their lifetime. Some Group
companies already have circularity systems in place to varying degrees, including donating older IT equipment
to the non-profit organisation Star for Life. While this doesn’t influence Danir Group’s emissions, it does
impact emissions globally.

5.2.2 BUSINESS TRAVEL
Business travel accounts for 48% of Danir Group’s total emissions within all three scopes. Figure 17 illustrates
the emissions per mode of transportation and hotel stays.

Figure 17. Emissions for business travel within Danir by means of transport and hotel stays.

Figure 17 demonstrates that flights have the largest impact within business travel, with rental cars, private
cars, and hotel stays following. The data clearly indicates that business travel has large effects on the total
emissions.

The data shows that trains are the most climate-smart option in terms of emissions per distance of travel.
Danir Group’s company agreement with SJ enables company-specific data to be obtained, which in turn
facilitates good monitoring of rail travel. This is something that several companies in the Group use today and
something that can be investigated further.

Therefore, promoting rail travel, especially for domestic business trips, is an excellent way to reduce emissions.
This can be done, for example, by updating the travel policy to include rail travel as its primary mode of
transport, or by establishing incentives for employees to choose rail travel over flights would decrease emissions
significantly.

Private cars, when gasoline or diesel, have large effects on business travel emissions. When possible, choosing
train instead of private car can decrease impacts. When using a rental car is necessary, choosing electric &
hybrid vehicles, which have lower emission rates, will positively impact the emissions results.
