Statement of verification

16th June 2022

Scope

Carbon Footprint Ltd was engaged to independently verify Elbit Systems Ltdā€™s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for the period 1st January 2021 to 31st December 2021. Elbit is responsible for the information within the GHG emissions assessment. The responsibility of Carbon Footprint Ltd is to provide a conclusion as to whether the statements made are accurate and in accordance with the GHG Protocol & Defra Reporting Guidelines.

Methodology

The verification was led by Georgina Whitlock, Senior Environmental Consultant, Carbon Footprint Ltd. Carbon Footprint Ltd completed the review in accordance with the ā€˜ISO 14064 Part 3 (2019): Greenhouse Gases: Specification with guidance for the verification and validation of greenhouse gas statementsā€™. The work was undertaken to provide a limited level of assurance with respect to the GHG statements made. A materiality threshold of 5% was used.

The following data was within the scope of the verification (below shows the post-audit results):

  • Scope 1: fuel use (on-site and vehicles), and refrigerant loss ā€“ 17,042 tCO2e
  • Scope 2: purchased electricity ā€“ 125,514 tCO2e (location-based) and 110,934 tCO2e (market-based)
  • Scope 3: business travel (air), paper consumption, water consumption, waste disposal, and electricity transmission & distribution and well-to-tank emissions ā€“ 66,659 tCO2e1

Totals: 209,216 tonnes of CO2e (location-based emissions)
194,636 tonnes of CO2e (market-based emissions)

 

Assurance opinion

Based on the results of our verification process, Carbon Footprint Ltd provides limited assurance of the GHG emissions statement, and found no evidence that the GHG emissions statement:

  • is not materially correct and is not a fair representation of the GHG emissions data and information;
  • has not been prepared in accordance with the GHG Protocol & Defra Reporting Guidelines.

It is our opinion that Elbit has established appropriate systems for the collection, aggregation and analysis of quantitative data for determination of GHG emissions for the stated period and boundaries.
