ABOUT OUR REPORT
SCOPE AND METHODOLOGY
The scope of this report is Fiscal Year 2022 , covering July 1 , 2021 through June 30 , 2022 . Our most recent report was published in February 2020 . We intend to report on an annual basis in the future .
We adjust our emissions metrics reporting annually by one month ( June 1 , 2021 – May 31 , 2022 ) in order to complete our annual verification process prior to the CDP deadline in July .
The report references Global Reporting Initiative ( GRI ) Standards and the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures ( TCFD ). We have chosen to not externally assure this report but may elect to do so in the future .
We chose ‘ operational control ’ as the emissions cosolidation approach using World Resources Institute and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development Greenhouse Gas Pro ¬ tocol-A Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard ( Revised Edition , 2015 ) as guidance .
For calculating our fleet vehicle emissions , TRC uses both the gallons of fuel used and the mileage tracked by vehicle in conjunction with standard greenhouse gas emissions factors from the U . S . Environmental Protection Agency Center for Corporate Climate Leadership . This data considers each vehicle ’ s fuel type , vehicle type , and vehicle year .
MATERIAL CHANGES IN REPORTING
■ In December 2021 New Mountain Capital exited its investment and Warburg Pincus became our new equity partner .
■ Acquisitions are incorporated into our environmental footprint metrics one year later .
• The following companies were acquired in FY21 and emissions from these acquisitions are now included in this report : 1Source ( 11 / 2020 ); Schoener ( 12 / 2020 ); EMI 1 / 26 / 21 .
• The following companies will be included in our 2023 Sustainability Report : Quatric ( 6 / 2021 ); ESS ( 2 / 2022 ); USTI ( 2 / 2022 ); and Draper ( 5 / 2022 ).
■ We identified an additional data source of Scope 1 fleet emissions that was excluded from FY21 reporting ( but included in FY19 , FY20 and FY22 ). This resulted in a 212 MT underreporting in FY21 . While our Scope 1 emissions this year ( 7,043 MT ) vs last year ’ s reported Scope 1 emissions ( 6,643 MT ) appear to have increased by 6 %, the actual increase ( 6855 MT vs 7043 MT ) was only 2.7 %. This does not impact our FY19 baseline year Scope 1 emissions .
■ Boundary changes in Scope 3 emissions include expanded Category 1 ( purchased goods ) with the addition of IT equipment and office furniture ; Category 6 ( business travel emissions ) with the inclusion of mileage from personal vehicles and the inclusion of Category 3 ( fuel- and energy-related activities ) with the inclusion of emissions from line loss ).
