2022 Greenhouse Gas Emission Inventory

Recognizing the critical importance of worldwide efforts to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, CNA is reporting its GHG baseline emission inventory. This report summarizes CNA’s inventory of Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions sources for calendar year 2022 and was prepared in accordance with The Greenhouse Gas Protocol: A Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard developed by the World Resources Institute and World Business Council for Sustainable Development.

CNA’s Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions totaled 747.7 metric tons of CO2 equivalent and are summarized in Table 1. Scope 1 emissions are emissions from sources that CNA owns or controls. Scope 2 emissions (emissions that occur at sources owned or controlled by another organization) make up 99 percent of CNA’s GHG emissions and are the result of the electricity CNA consumes.

EMISSIONS FROM SOURCES THAT CNA OWNS OR CONTROLS:

• Standby generator, which provides backup emergency power
• Company vehicle, a 2011 Ford Flex
• Refrigerators, freezers, and ice machines located in our headquarter's galleys
• The air conditioning units in our data center and company vehicle
• The fire suppression system in our data center

CNA used EPA’s Simplified GHG Emissions Calculator to develop the inventory. or to develop the inventory. The inputs are summarized in Table 2 and our methodology is detailed in the appendix.

This 2022 GHG inventory will serve as a baseline from which to measure and compare future inventories.
