CHAPTER 4
The Group’s GHG emissions’ intensity factors are calculated using both direct and indirect emissions (Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions) as a numerator and man hours worked as a denominator. Hours worked have been recognized as representative of the Group’s overall activity.

In order to measure the positive effects of their investments in climate change mitigation, which aim to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030 on direct emissions20 (Scope 1), indiThe ISO 14001 Multisite MULTI-SITE CERTIFICATION rect emissions21 (Scope certification is confir2) and before 2050 for mation of our focus value chain emissions (Scope 3), and ongoing effort to implement Maire Tecnimont considers exan environmental management tremely important not only to system at Group level.

CHAPTER 2
The Maire Tecnimont Group’s environmental policy is also defined in the engineering phase, which is an opportunity to propose technological modifications that can result in energy savings and cleaner emissions, leading to environmental and economic benefits for the client, stakeholders and for the whole community.
With this in mind, in 2020 Maire Tecnimont decided to continue its programme of improving its KPI reporting by developing – with the support of a specialized consulting firm – its own calculation methodology for value chain (Scope 3) emissions. It is based on the GHG Protocol, applied from 2019 data for certain categories more relevant to our business, such as “Purchased Goods & Services”, “Upstream Transportation”, “Waste generated in Operations”, “Business Travel” and “Employee Commuting”22. Maire Tecnimont’s emissions calculation methodology is aligned with the most important international standards on the calculation of atmospheric emissions.
CHAPTER 1
construction sites and offices: we conduct a detailed analysis to assess the importance of environmentally-critical activities that have a negative impact due to energy consumption, harmful atmospheric emissions, soil or water spills, waste production or resource depletion. The introduction of smart working for our Italian and foreign companies is an important factor in improving environmental performance, as it helps to reduce traffic with all its implications in terms of noise, emissions of CO2 and particulates.
INTRODUCTION
The protection and safeguarding of the environment are key factors and essential business objectives for the Maire Tecnimont Group. The Group is continually committed in the control and mitigation of impacts on the ecosystem resulting from the projects and activities conducted at its head offices.
