Climate management system
Implementation of a Climate Management System allows companies to apply a unified approach to managing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, product carbon footprint (PCF), risks and opportunities associated with climate change, and be successful in climate management.
The aim of such a climate management system is to provide:
The climate management system allows to track the performance (in particular the effectiveness), as well as progress in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, the mitigation, the continuous reduction of the carbon footprint, including the use of both internal reserves (energy efficiency measures, the introduction of renewable sources, reforestation / afforestation) and external opportunities (work with suppliers, contractors, logistics, purchase and sale of carbon credits for offsets), adapt to climate change and build effective communication with stakeholders.

Greenhouse Gas Emission Management
- Is carried out in order to ensure sustainable development under conditions of climate change, as well as changing external operating environment for the Companies due to state climate policy and actions of key stakeholders
- The main tasks for greenhouse gas emissions management are the development and updating of an inventory of greenhouse gas emissions, and the implementation of projects to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
- Companies are responsible for all quantified greenhouse gas emissions from the manufacturing sites they operate
The companies are to establish and document organizational boundaries. Organizational boundaries are to be updated when sites are added or terminated.
Operational boundaries are set and documented separately for each production site. Setting operational boundaries includes identifying greenhouse gas emissions and dividing emissions into categories such as direct (Scope 1), indirect energy (Scope 2) and other indirect emissions (Scope 3), and also allows to make the choice of the indirect emissions that are to be quantified and included in reports. Direct Emissions (Scope 1) are emissions from sources that are owned or controlled by the manufacturing site (for example, emissions from combustion in owned or controlled boilers, stoves, vehicles, etc.). Indirect energy emissions (Scope 2) are emissions from sources of production of purchased electricity, heat or steam consumed by production sites (the emissions that occur at the facility where electricity is produced and which is not owned or controlled by the production site). Other Indirect Emissions (Scope 3) are emissions that result from the activities of the manufacturing site, but originate from sources not owned or controlled by it, for example:
• contracting activities, production under a franchise agreement
• workers' travel to work and on business trips
• transportation of products, materials, people or waste from one organization to another
• disposal or recycling of waste that was generated by one production site, but is managed by another organization
• greenhouse gas emissions from production based on purchased raw materials or raw materials
When operating boundaries change, production sites are to update information.
Direct (Scope 1) and indirect energy emissions (Scope 2) are subject to mandatory accounting. Other indirect emissions are accounted for to the extent that this is appropriate from a site management point of view.
The greenhouse gas emissions and their quantities are determined and documented within the boundaries of any site.
Greenhouse gases are quantified using a calculation method.
To effectively manage greenhouse gas emissions, the Companies set targets, taking into account the following areas of activity:
• energy savings and improvements in energy efficiency
• use of renewable energy sources and cogeneration
• afforestation
Companies may purchase carbon credits from third parties that carry out voluntary greenhouse gas emissions / removals projects if they intend to offset emissions.
Setting goals for greenhouse gases can include various strategies for defining and achieving reductions in greenhouse gases.
Targets for greenhouse gases can be general or include specific parameters.
To achieve the goals, appropriate action plans will need to be developed and implemented that will include the determination of changes in the amount of emitted greenhouse gases. Actions and associated changes in greenhouse gas emissions are to be documented. The action plan is to contain a clear definition of the range of tasks, responsible persons and deadlines.
Greenhouse gas emissions are monitored in order to track emissions over time, as Companies may undergo structural changes such as acquisitions, liquidations and mergers, as well as outsourcing or insourcing, in the context of disclosure, setting targets for greenhouse gas emissions, managing risks and opportunities, meeting the needs of investors and other interested parties.
Monitoring is carried out as part of tracking the status of implementation of ongoing measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and assessing their effectiveness.
An inventory base year is to be used as the basis for establishing and tracking progress towards the greenhouse gas target. If structural changes of the Companies have significant impact on the facilities emitting greenhouse gases, then the recalculation of the emissions for the base year is to be performed.
