- 2. Global conservation organization Activities in more than 100 countries The Hong Kong office was established in 1981 Who are we?
- 3. Our mission Building a future in which humans live in harmony with nature
- 4. Why is it relevant to you? What is carbon accounting/ carbon footprinting? What are the sources of emissions in offices? How LOOP* helps reduce your office’s carbon footprint? How does the labelling scheme work? How can you be part of the solution? * LOOP = Low-carbon Office Operation Programme Low carbon office, why, what & how?

- 8. Carbon accounting is the process by which greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel combustion are calculated. Carbon accounting Define Boundary Compile GHG Inventory Collect Activity Data Activity Data x Emission Factor = GHG emissions
- 9. Source of emissions Earth's most abundant greenhouse gases are: Water vapour 水蒸氣 Carbon dioxide (CO2 二氧化碳 ) Methane (CH4 甲烷 ) Nitrous oxide (N2O 氧化亞氮 ) Ozone 臭氧 Fluorinated compounds 含氟化合物 (SF6 六氟化硫 , HFCs 氟化烴 , PFCs 全氟化碳 )

- 11. Source of emissions Scope 2 accounts for indirect GHG emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, steam, and heating/cooling. Scope 3 is all the other indirect GHG emissions such as employees business travel, employees commuting to and from work, use of sold products or services, etc… Scope 1 is the direct GHG emissions occur from sources that are owned or controlled by the companies
