When you partner with ASP, you're joining a global effort to reduce climate impact with science-backed, actionable goals. We're committed to cutting emissions across every level of our operations and value chain, helping you meet your own sustainability objectives with confidence.
Scope 1 and 2 Emissions
Scope 1 emissions are direct emissions from sources we own or control (e.g., fuel used in our facilities). Scope 2 emissions are indirect emissions from purchased electricity we use in operations.
Scope 3 Emissions
Scope 3 emissions are all other indirect emissions that come from our supply chain, logistics, and how our products are used and disposed of.
Methodology and Scope
The 2024 baseline has been established in accordance with the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard and aligned with SBTi and Paris Agreement targets.
Scope 1 and 2 Emissions
Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions are based on operational control
Scope 3 Emissions
Scope 3 emissions follow a hybrid calculation approach, combining spend-based data, supplier-specific data, and distance/fuel-based methodologies
