【2】Including emissions from fire suppression systems and refrigerant emissions within the reporting scope. While fugitive GHG emissions from BTM (bromotrifluoromethane) used in fire suppression systems are not included in the six Kyoto Protocol GHG categories, they are included in this carbon assessment to provide a true and fair picture of GHG-related information. BTM is one of the controlled substances listed in Annex A of the Montreal Protocol, with a conversion factor of approximately 1.0 metric ton of CFC-11 (trichlorofluoromethane) equivalent.

【1】To facilitate readers’ comprehensive understanding of the quantified environmental performance of the Group, the performance of CSCD is also presented in each indicator. The environmental performance of CSCD is aligned with the ESG report in its 2020 Annual Report, while some are independently assessed.

【2】GHG emissions quantification process and emission factors refer to the national standards and guidelines of the People's Republic of China (Guidelines for Accounting and Reporting Greenhouse Gas Emissions China Public Building Operation Units (Enterprises) (Trial) and Guidelines for Accounting and Reporting Greenhouse Gas Emissions Other Industrial Enterprises (Trial)), Guidelines to Account for and Report on Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Removals for Buildings (Commercial, Residential or Institutional Purposes) in Hong Kong prepared by the Environmental Protection Department and the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department of Hong Kong, SME Carbon Audit Toolkit compiled by the University of Hong Kong and the City University of Hong Kong, and the international standards ISO 14064-1 and the Greenhouse Gas Protocol.

【3】Including emissions of fire suppression systems from sites of operation within the reporting boundary and emissions of refrigerant from CSCD.
