Emissions
Our efforts to increase energy efficiency and fuel economy translate to reduced greenhouse gas emissions when
normalized to headcount.

WE HAVE ACHIEVED A 12% DECREASE IN SCOPES 1 AND 2 EMISSIONS FROM
FY14 TO FY17, WHEN NORMALIZED TO HEADCOUNT.

Scope 1 emissions include fleet fuel use from all TRC owned fleet vehicles as well as natural gas use for office
2
heating. Breaking down our Scope 1 emissions, fleet emissions are approximately 2.5 times greater than emissions
from office natural gas use. As we transition our business and acquire more heavy duty vehicles for project work, our
overall fleet emissions have increased on an absolute and normalized basis. Our reduction target is focused on our
Class C-H vehicles because we have the greatest ability to impact change in our purchasing.

Scope 3 emissions include indirect emissions, including business travel and employee commuting. We track emis-
sions from rental vehicles but have not set a target for Scope 3 emissions due to fluctuations in business travel related
to client needs.

Scope 2 emissions represent purchased electricity for our offices. With some of our office lease agreements we do
not directly pay for utilities. Therefore, our total annual office energy consumption is calculated using a hybrid method
which combines actual energy usage and estimates based on office square footage and a Source Energy Use Intensity
figure from the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Commercial Building Energy Consumption Survey (CBECS). This
is a common method used when actual utility or energy use information is unavailable; however, offices may actually
be performing better than this standard metric.
