NWG // SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT
Scope 3 emissions are updated annually for each material category based on current activity data. The full Scope 3 inventory is updated at least every three years, or in the event of significant changes such as shifts in the company’ s operations or value chain, changes in calculation methodology or corrections of prior errors.
The Group has not identified or quantified biogenic CO₂ emissions from combustion or decomposition of biomass in upstream or downstream value chains. As a result, biogenic emissions are not reported separately from total Scope 3 emissions.
