Introduction
Climate change has been identified as one of the greatest challenges facing nations,
governments, business and citizens over future decades. Climate change has implications
for both human and natural systems and could lead to significant changes in resource use,
production and economic activity. In response, international, regional, national and local
initiatives are being developed and implemented to limit greenhouse gas (GHG)
concentrations in the Earth’s atmosphere. Such GHG initiatives rely on the quantification,
monitoring, reporting and verification of GHG emissions and/or removals, which could be
done within the framework of ISO 14064.
ISO 14064‐1 specifies principles and requirements at the organization level for
quantification and reporting of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and removals. It includes
requirements for the design, development, management, reporting and verification of an
organization's GHG inventory and it is a tool for greenhouse gas (GHG) limitation and
reduction.

In parallel, prepared this report whose primary goal is to account for the Green House Gases
(GHG) emission from its activities for the period of 2013.
This report will be posted in METKA’s website, so to be available to the Interested Parties.
The results of this report shall be included in the Parent Company’s Sustainability Report of
2013.
As mentioned above, METKA S.A has three area of activities within the scope of GHG
Information Management System, as follows:
The calculation of GHG emissions and removals is produced in Facility‐level and then are
added in order to determinate the total GHG emissions and removals. The company
consolidates its facility‐level GHG emissions and removals by accounting for all quantified
GHG emissions and/or removals from facilities over which it has financial or operational
control.
GHG Inventory Report

Company has established and documented its operational boundaries and the identified
GHG emissions and removals associated with the company operations are categorized into
direct emissions and removals, energy indirect emissions and other indirect emissions,
according to the following explanations.
Direct GHG emissions and removals: emissions from electricity, heat and steam
generated and exported or distributed by the company.
Energy indirect GHG emissions: indirect GHG emissions from the generation of
imported electricity, heat or steam consumed by the company
Other indirect GHG emissions: can include commuting and business travel by
employees, transportation of products and materials (outsourced activities) etc.
METKA S.A has finalized the operational boundaries of its operations, and as mentioned
before are included all its facilities and their operational needs, the Worksites Management,
the fuel consumption, the process emissions, the consumption of imported electricity, the
transportation of materials / products between the sites, the transportation of materials /
products from suppliers and to costumers and the business travel by employees.
The following activities of METKA S.A. have GHG emissions / removals and are monitored
in every METKA facility (factories, offices, worksites). In the following table, the activities
are categorized into Direct GHG emissions and removals, Energy indirect GHG emissions
and Other indirect GHG emissions. In Annex 5, are reported all the METKA sites that have
GHG emissions and removals.

Activity data were collected at site level by GHG Site Responsible and consolidated at
corporate level by GHG IMS Coordinator. Activity data are collected on site level minimum
twice per year and the calculation is being done at least once per year. The whole process of
data collection is being described in procedure MET_HSE_GHGP_011_A Quantification of
GHG of GHG Management System.
METKA S.A has established and maintained GHG information management procedures
that:
According to 14064‐1, for period 2013, internal audit was carried out regarding all METKA
aforementioned GHG sources and focused on operational control, purchasing of raw
materials and using of resources.
GHG Inventory Report

All data for GHG emissions and removals are recorded in controlled documents of GHG
Information Management System and data coming mainly from invoices and the emission
factors are derived from a recognized origin, and in particular:
In order to quantify the GHG emissions and removals, METKA S.A has selected and used
quantification methodology that reasonably minimizes uncertainty and yield accurate,
consistent and reproducible results.
GHG emission/removal = GHG activity Data x GHG emission/removal factor x conversion factor
(conversion factor where needed, normally equals 1)
As far as the GHG emission/removal factor, the company selects the CO2e factor, in order to
quantify the greenhouse gases in CO2e. However the non CO2 emissions (e.g. CH4 and N2O
from vehicles) are extremely low, according to Defra / DECC’s GHG Conversion factors for
company reporting.
The GHG emission/removal factors, which are used for the GHG emission/removal
calculation, are shown at Annex 1.
GHG Inventory Report

At the table below, is shown the source of the GHG activity Data.
Due to the reason that, there is not available sufficient information on historical GHG
emissions or removals, the company uses its first GHG inventory period (2013) as the base
year.
The base‐year GHG inventory will be used for comparative purposes and other intended
uses of the GHG inventory.

The METKA has completed and documented an uncertainty assessment for GHG emissions
and removals, including the uncertainty associated with emission and removal factors.
According to this analysis the uncertainty values are:
As mentioned above, METKA S.A has three areas of activity within the scope of GHG
Information Management System, as follows:
The calculation of GHG emissions and removals is produced in Facility‐level and then are
added in order to determinate the total GHG emissions and removals.
At the below table are shown the Total of METKA S.A GHG emissions, prepared according
to the requirements of ISO 14064, for 2013. The GHG emissions for the three different areas
of METKA activities (Head Offices, Factories, Worksites) are shown at Annex 2 to 4.
