The sum of 1,703 presented in the table is due to a rounding error. Calculation methods The calculation method was further refined in 2021, primarily through new life-cycle assessments and the inclusion of the distribution of products. This means the figures differ from what has been reported in previous years. Emissions have been calculated using the Greenhouse Gas Protocol’s guidelines. Average emissions per employee were, before carbon offsets are accounted for, 17.5 tonnes CO2 e/person in 2019, 10.8 in 2020 and 11.6 tonnes CO2 e/person in 2021 with comparable figures. Including new items for 2021, emissions per employee amounted to 40.9 tonnes CO2 e. BioGaia uses 2019 as the base year for following up emissions. The emission factors used normally include the following greenhouse gases: carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons and sulphur hexafluoride. The emission factors used are presented on page 45. BioGaia applies operational control as the consolidation approach for emissions. A healthy business CONTENTS
