Fig. 4. Harmonized carbon footprints of technology hardware and equipment (THE) companies.
Analysis is based on CDP responses of 2019 and corporate reports of the corresponding reporting period. For each company the sum of the initial carbon footprint, as provided in the corporate report, and the omitted emissions form the harmonized carbon footprint. Omitted emissions results from sources of errors such as reporting inconsistency, boundary incompleteness, and activity exclusion. See supplementary data: sheet 2.1–2.3 for calculations. The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards, Integrated Reporting (IR) framework, or Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) standards are ticked in case the corporate report was prepared in accordance with them.
