1) Total greenhouse gas emissions for Scope 1–3. The market-based method is used for Scope 2. Greenhouse gases N2O, CH4 and CO2 are included in the calculations. Total greenhouse gas emissions are higher than previous years, as more categories are reported in Scope 3 compared with previous years. The greenhouse gases for 2015–2021 have been recalculated as a result of the divestment of the asphalt operations in Finland, according to the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Standard.
2) Refers to direct emissions from NCC’s operations.
3) Refers to indirect emissions from electricity and heat.
4) Refers to emissions from NCC’s value chain.
5) All greenhouse gases are included in the calculations.
6) Includes >80% of purchased volume of ready-mix concrete and steel reinforcement as well as internally purchased asphalt as of 2017. The baseline for KPIs was set on the basis
of industry average fi gures for 2015. This also includes all purchased machinery services in Sweden.
7) Upstream transportation includes purchased transportation in Sweden.
8) Includes only the NCC Building Sweden business area and Finland for NCC Building Nordics, work is in progress to include more business areas.
9) The net sales for 2016–2021 have been recalculated as a result of the divestment of the asphalt operations in Finland, in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Standard.
10) Only Scope 1 and Scope 2 (market-based method) are used in the key figure.
11) Only Scope 1 and Scope 2 (market-based method) are used in the key figure.

In 2023, the proportion of recycled/reused materials increased by 1 percentage point compared with 2022. Continuous efforts are made to increase this share even further. The fi gures include typical construction waste above ground. Soil, stone and fi ll materials that depend on the projects’ geography are usually handled separately and are not included in the statistics. Concrete, bricks and tiles/clinkers are recycled to some extent and are reported for parts of the operations. This fraction fl uctuates depending on the number of refurbishment/demolition projects. The increase in the amount of hazardous waste was due in part to several projects where old impregnated wood (creosote and heavy metals) had to be removed from construction sites.
