(Scope 3) greenhouse gas (thousand tonnes CO2e) emissions which are relevant and material to our operations.
emissions – total The most material category is the use of sold products, relating
to the use of produced coal and oil. Scope 3 emissions refer to
data from industrial operations, as defined in further detail on
p. 224 of the annual report.
Scope 3 – Purchased goods Total emissions 743 753 787 6 This covers the estimated Scope 3 emissions from third party
& services (thousand tonnes CO2e) copper, lead, nickel and zinc feeds into our combined mine
and smelting/processing facilities.
Scope 3 – Fuel- and Total emissions 919 930 853* 6 A major source of fuel- and energy-related Scope 3
energy-related activities (thousand tonnes CO2e) emissions results from transmission and distribution
losses of purchased electricity.
The related CO2 emissions are calculated by applying
the country specific transmission and distribution losses
as presented by the World Bank and multiplying these
losses with the country specific emissions from Scope 2
electricity purchased.

transportation & distribution (thousand tonnes CO2e) This total was 50% allocated to upstream transportation, whilst
the other 50% is allocated to downstream transportation.
The increase from 2018 to 2019 is a result of reclassification
of non-controlled vessels’ emissions from Scope 1 to this
Scope 3 metric.

GRI 305 305-3 Scope 3 – Processing of Total emissions 11,222 11,180 11,139 6 This concerns further processing by clients of copper, nickel,
sold products (thousand tonnes CO2e) zinc, ferrochrome and lead concentrates and metal which
we’ve produced, applying GHG Protocol’s ’average data’
method. To estimate the Scope 3 emissions, our produced
volumes are multiplied by the relevant embodied carbon
coefficient. For concentrates, embodied carbon coefficients of
primary (virgin) product are applied, representing the
emissions of cradle-to-gate processing. For metals, embodied
carbon coefficients of secondary (recycled) product are
applied as a proxy for processing the metals into the product’s
dominant use, like copper wire in case of copper metal. The
ICE database (2011) from University of Bath provides these
coefficients for copper, zinc, lead and stainless steel. As
ferrochrome and nickel are predominantly used in production
of stainless steel, the embodied carbon coefficient of stainless
steel is allocated to these two products by applying the
average content percentages of these two products in
stainless steel. The reported values incur some level of overlap
with Glencore’s Scope 1 and 2 emissions. Prior year values have
been upward restated as this 2018 report now includes
emissions from processing nickel and ferroalloys and
differentiates for emissions from concentrates and metals.
Scope 3 – Use of sold Total emissions 273,161 296,246 325,705* 6 Scope 3 emissions from the use of sold products relate to the
products – operational control (thousand tonnes CO2e) use of saleable fossil fuels (coal and oil), produced by industrial
operations under Glencore operational control, on a 100% basis
except for joint ventures, where the Group’s attributable share
of production is included. The volumes of saleable products
are taken from Glencore’s publicly available Production
Report. Regarding coal, the emissions value includes
emissions from use of both thermal and metallurgical coal
produced. Regarding oil, the emissions value relates to the
gross production basis of our Glencore operated oil production
entity, excluding emissions related to oil refinery activities.
The increase from 2018 to 2019 is related to recently acquired
Australian coal operations.
Scope 3 – Investments Total emissions 2,464 2,546 2,236 6 This represents Glencore’s share of Scope 1 and 2 emissions of
(thousand tonnes CO2e) the following investments: Antamina (Copper), Century
(Alumina), Cerrejón (Coal) and Collahuasi (Copper).
Where available, the Scope 1 and 2 total values as reported
most recently by these companies were taken as input. In case
no such data was available, the Scope 1 and 2 emissions from a
comparable Glencore asset (eg within same country and same
business) were extrapolated based upon production totals.

Scope 3 – Use of sold Total emissions 273,161 296,246 347,206 6 Scope 3 emissions from the use of sold products on
products – attributable basis (thousand tonnes CO2e) attributable basis relate to the use of saleable fossil fuels (coal
and oil), produced by industrial operations according to
Glencore’s attributable share of production. Differing from
Scope 3 emissions from the ‘use of sold products – operational
control’, this alternative metric includes attributable
production from non-operated joint ventures, most notably
Cerrejón. The volumes of saleable products are taken from
Glencore’s publicly available Production Report. Regarding
coal, the emissions value includes emissions from use of both
thermal and metallurgical coal produced. Regarding oil, the
emissions value relates to the net production basis of
Glencore’s operated and non-operated oil production entities,
excluding emissions related to oil refinery activities. This
metric is a key component of Glencore’s projection of
reductions in Scope 3 emissions by 2035. As such, this metric
should be regarded as an alternative metric to Scope 3
emissions from the ‘use of sold products – operational control’
and should not be aggregated into our reported total Scope 3
emissions. The increase from 2018 to 2019 is related to the
acquisitions made in our Australian coal operations.

location based intensity “carbon emissions intensity” and “greenhouse gas emissions
intensity”. The GHG emission intensity is calculated as a ratio of
Scope 1 and 2 location-based emissions of Glencore operated
industrial assets which were owned by the end of the reporting year,
divided by their copper equivalent production. Copper equivalent
production is weighting the commodity’s production volume by
the baseline year ratio of the average price of that commodity,
divided by the fixed 2016 baseline average price of copper.
The baseline GHG intensity in 2016 was 4.35tGHG/tCu.
