For scope two values, a market-based methodology was used to calculate volumes.Â
The source adds: "Market-based Scope 2 reporting considers any contractual instruments that may be used in competitive energy markets, such as green tariffs, renewable certificates, or PPAs."
The source notes furthermore: "Scope 3: Indirect GHG emissions occurring from assets not owned or controlled by the reporting organization, but that the organization indirectly impacts in its value chain. Scope 3 emissions include all sources not within an organization’s scope 1 and 2 boundary, as outlined by the GHG Protocol. General Mills uses operational control to categorize those emissions within its organizational boundary. Consistent with SBTi guidelines, our targets focus on the categories of GHG emissions that are the most impactful and actionable for General Mills, and exclude emissions such as low-volume ingredients, capital goods, employee commuting, franchises, downstream warehouse and storage at retail, consumer trips to store, and end of life (consumer food waste)."
