Carbon Emissions
Corporate and Customer Carbon Emissions
Our corporate emissions are less than one per cent of our total scope 1, 2 and 3 carbon emissions.
In contrast, the emissions generated by the activity of our customers inside our warehouses amount to approximately 57 per cent (including upstream energy emissions).
As with many landlords, responsibility for sourcing energy and monitoring use rests with our customers for the majority of our portfolio. However, given the significant contribution of these customer emissions, we have chosen to include them in our science-based targets, aligned to the SBTi framework. We have made good progress on reducing our carbon footprint, with a 19 per cent absolute reduction in corporate and customer emissions since 2020 (7 per cent since 2022) to 254,168 tonnes CO2e (2020 baseline: 312,115 tonnes CO2e). We have also reduced our corporate and customer carbon intensity to 20.2 kgCO2e per sq m (2022: 22.5 kgCO2e).
Case Study: SEGRO Logistics Centre Venray
Underfloor heating infrastructure went into the floor slab at SEGRO Logistics Centre Venray and all light industrial and logistic units at SEGRO Park Amsterdam Airport. This heating and cooling technique will allow our customers to make the most efficient use of sustainable (solar) energy. Whether the heat and cold come from the buildings air pumps or from ground sourced heat and cold storage, this technique avoids the use of gas for heating and delivers a perfect indoor climate in the warehouse and office space, without losing loading capacity in the warehouse.
