ABOUT OUR REPORT
The scope of this report is Fiscal Year 2019, covering
July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019. Our most recent
report was published in February 2019. We intend to
report on an annual basis in the future.
The report has been prepared in accordance with the
GRI Standards: Core Option.
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
consolidation approach using World Resources
Institute and the World Business Council for
Sustainable Development Greenhouse Gas Protocol
Initiative-A Corporate Accounting and Reporting
Standard (Revised Edition, 2015) as guidance.
For estimating our fleet vehicle emissions, TRC uses
the mileage tracked for each vehicle in conjunction
with standard emissions factors provided by
FuelEconomy.gov, which is maintained by the U.S.
