biomass , self - consumption
of electricity generated by
photovoltaic panels and electricity
from renewable sources purchased
via a Power Purchase Agreement
( PPA ) . We exclude fuels purchased
for vehicle f leets . The Scope 1 and
2 carbon intensity and energy
intensity indicators are calculated
for production environments only ,
and therefore exclude emissions
from off ice and commercial
buildings , and those produced
by vehicle f leets .
In accordance with international
carbon compatibility standards ,
the Group applies a materiality
threshold of 5 % for Scope 3
emissions . On this basis , the items
‘ purchased goods & services ’
( GHG 3 . 1 ) and ‘ use of sold products ’
( GHG 3 . 11 ) are signif icant since they
account respectively for 55 % and
38 % of total estimated emissions .
Upstream freight transport and
distribution ( GHG 3 . 4 and
GHG 3 . 9 ) are also included at 6 % .
This ref lects a methodological
choice by the Group , which
classif ies the costs met by the
Group to transport sold products
as downstream freight , rather than
upstream freight as def ined by the
GHG Protocol . This methodological
distinction inf luences the way in
which emissions are broken down
and allocated to different items ,
but has no effect on total transport -
related emissions .
Emissions related to purchases of
raw materials have been calculated
in accordance with the following
methodology specif ic emission
factors are applied to at least 95
of the volumes purchased for each
business line A volume weighted
average emission factor is applied
to the remaining volumes ≤5
The following assumption has
been made regarding the use
of sold products and particularly
those sold by TIMAC AGRO
for which it is diff icult to obtain
detailed information regarding
their composition : all nitrogenous
raw materials purchased during
the year are deemed incorporated
into products sold , and
consequently applied to f ields
during the same period . This
approach simplif ies calculation
by avoiding the need to collect
additional data , while still ensuring
consistency with purchasing
volumes . The data used for this
item refers exclusively to purchases
of nitrogenous raw materials .
Upstream and downstream
freight data are either supplied
by transport operators , estimated
on the basis of journey start
and end points ( see methodology
below ) , estimated on the basis
of an average product sales radius
in the case of TIMAC AGRO ( see
methodology below ) , or derived
from estimated monetary data
in the absence of information
regarding the journey made .
Where data is incomplete ,
assumptions about distances
have been made to ensure the
comprehensive nature of the
calculation : average distances
have been used where the journey
start or end point was unknown .
Alternatively , distances may have
been extrapolated from known
data . Land distances are taken from
Google Maps , and sea distances
from BednBlue . The Groupe Roullier
AI tool was used to conf irm these
distances . Average sales reach has
been provided by the TIMAC AGRO
Supply Chain department CO
data have been provided either
directly by the transport operator
or sourced from the CEVA Logistics
tool for sea freight
Work is continuing on improving
the reliability of the process of
collecting and consolidating
upstream and downstream freight
data At this stage some subsidiary
companies have not yet been able

prevents the impact from being
accurately quantif ied . Nevertheless ,
this impact remains limited due
to the low volume of purchases
and sales made by the subsidiary
companies concerned . The Group
has an ongoing formal process in
place to improve the completeness
and quality of its data .
Tonnes produced means total
gross tonnes produced by the
production sites , regardless of
destination . The indicators relating
to intensity per tonne sold do not
include the tonnages of Compagnie
Armoricaine de Navigation ,
Refranor or the superphosphate
cellars , since these are semi -
f inished products reused within
the business line .
The tonnes sold indicator relates
to external sales and sales between
business lines , and excludes sales
made within individual business
lines . This treatment ensures
consistency with other Group
reporting systems , which are based
on volumes actually sold by our
business lines .
