Carbon Footprint: Scope & Calculation methodology for CO2 emissions

The GHG emissions inventory of Cellnex Telecom has been prepared according to the ISO 14064-1:2018 standard, and GHG statements related to GHG inventories and procedures have been independently (third-party) verified following the standard ISO 14064-3:2019 achieving a limited level of assurance.

The scope of Cellnex Telecom carbon footprint for the year 2020 includes the following business units:

Cellnex Telecom has been preparing its GHG emissions inventory in accordance with the International Standard ISO 14064-1:2006 from 2015. Due to the expansion of the countries where the company operates and the addition of indirect GHG emission categories as set out in the new International Standard ISO 14064-1: 2018, Cellnex Telecom has decided to modify its base year. In short, the organization has established 2020 as the base year for GHG emissions for comparative purposes and other GHG programs requirements and intended uses.

The results of the carbon footprint of Cellnex Telecom correspond to the period from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020. The GHG emissions inventory maintains the structure and content established by the reference standard ISO 14064-1: 2018. The GHG inventory includes the quantification of direct GHG emissions separately for CO2, CH4, N2O, NF3, SF6 and other GHG groups (HFCs, PFCs, etc.) in tonnes of CO2e, as well as the indirect GHG emissions separated by categories in the same units.

To calculate the carbon footprint of Cellnex Telecom the approach of financial control has been considered. According to the ISO 14064-1:2018 methodology, GHG emissions have be aggregated into the following categories at the organizational level:

Following the “Guiadance for the process of identifying significant indirect GHG emissions” included in ISO 14064-1:2018 Standard, Cellnex Telecom has defined its global criteria to evaluate the relevance of each indirect GHG emissions subcategory.

The principles that have been taken into account when applying the criteria are relevance, completeness, consistency, accuracy and transparency.

The criteria used to evaluate the significance of indirect emissions include the following:

• Magnitude: emissions that are assumed to be quantitatively substantial. Are considered not relevant all categories which its GHG emissions contributes less than a 5% to the global carbon footprint.
• Level of influence: the organization has the ability to monitor and reduce these emissions.
• Risk or opportunity: indirect emissions that contribute to the organization’s exposure to risk or its opportunity for business.
• Sector-specific guidance: GHG emissions deemed as significant by the business sector.
• Outsourcing: indirect emissions resulting from outsourced activities that are typically core business activities.
• Employee engagement: indirect emissions that could motivate employees to reduce energy use or fight climate change.

With this analysis, it has been concluded that the following subcategories of indirect GHG emissions are considered non-significant:

• Upstream transport and distribution
• Disposal of waste
• Use of assets leased by the organization
• Downstream leased assets owned by the organization
• Investments

These subcategories are then excluded from the GHG emissions inventories in all the countries where Cellnex Telecom develops its activity.

The quantification model obtains the amount of emissions by source by multiplying the activity data by its correspondent emission factor. The emission factors are obtained from reliable and oficial sources (IPCC and other relevant sources):
