On-site inspection
CO2 emission data (Scope 1, 2, 3) was provided through evaluation by a third-party institution based on verification procedure using ISAE3000, and conforming to ISO 14064-3; other data was provided by testing implemented by a third-party verification based on and conforming to ISAE3000. Verification of primarily production based in three countries, four bases/facilities was conducted by on-site inspection and the remote assessment; issues at the various bases were identified and solutions were proposed and implemented.
