Significant changes in reported emissions
Over the course of 2022. there has been a decrease in emissions in both scopes in which the Budimex Group monitors GHG emissions. Scope 1 saw a significant decrease in fuel use in the Group’s fleet category of 24% from the previous year. The results achieved in Scope 1 are influenced by the current energy intensity and characteristics of the construction work in progress. as well as changes in the mix of fuels used. Within Scope 2 (market-based). a significant reduction in GHG emissions was achieved through Budimex SA’s purchase of renewable energy with a guarantee of origin. This accounts for a reduction in emissions resulting from the purchase of electricity of close to 100% for Budimex SA and by close to 60% for the Group.

The Scope 2 location-based calculation uses the EFC (Emissions factor at consumption) due to the prudential treatment adopted. Due to the lack of an implemented Scope 3 calculation, the use of the mentioned indicator ensures that GHG emissions resulting from transmission losses are included in the calculation.
The Scope 2 data sheet and calculations are based on real energy consumption.
