Scope 2: Indirect Emissions from Purchased Electricity

Last year, we reported our 2021 Scope 2 emissions from eight properties we track as part of the U.S. Department of Energy Better Buildings Challenge (BBC) program, including our primary corporate office and maintenance facility, various cargo facilities, and an office building we have since sold and now partially occupy in Honolulu (Airport Center). This year we modified our Scope 2 methodology for our 2022 inventory to include all properties, owned or leased, where we have operational control, including corporate and airport offices, and maintenance and cargo facilities. We measure and report our Scope 2 emissions in line with the GHG Protocol using the location-based method.

In 2022, our location-based Scope 2 emissions for BBC properties dropped by 4% compared to 2021 and 11% compared to 2019 (Table C). These decreases can be attributed to reduced operations because of the pandemic, efficiency measures implemented at our corporate offices and at the Airport Center, as well as grid efficiency improvements.

Note: We have been reporting Scope 2 emissions for BBC properties, including a building we owned in 2022 and continue to partially occupy, since 2019; in 2022, we refined our Scope 2 emissions to include all properties where we have operational control, and allocate emissions from BBC properties based on occupancy.
