Carbon footprint analysis
In early 2022, Calian engaged an independent third party to support the development of a greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions inventory for scope 1 and 2 emissions, and a screening of scope 3 emissions to help develop our climate strategy.
The emissions data collected adheres to the GHG Protocol standards. This effort is the first step in defining climate goals and developing a decarbonization roadmap, and marks a significant step towards building a more sustainable future in collaboration with our stakeholders.

Calian value chain
By understanding our value chain: the main sources of Calian’s direct and indirect emissions, we are better able to understand GHG related risks and opportunities as we work towards net-zero.

Emissions inventory data analysis
![](https://sites.calian.com/app/uploads/sites/4/2023/10/Calian-GHG-Emissions-by-Scope-e1698693022755.png)
GHG emissions by scope
- Scope 1: Stationary combustion: entirely from natural gas use, with Scope 1 representing 13 % of our total emissions.
- Scope 2: Purchased electricity continues to make up entirety of emissions primarily from manufacturing facility in Saskatoon, with Scope 2 representing 87% of total emissions.
- Scope 3: Advanced Technologies represents 87% of total emissions (Scope 1 and 2) as expected, due to manufacturing and having most of facilities.

GHG emissions by operating segment (t C02e) for the first half of 2022
- Scope 1: Stationary combustion: entirely from natural gas use, with Scope 1 representing 13 % of our total emissions.
- Scope 2: Purchased electricity continues to make up entirety of emissions primarily from manufacturing facility in Saskatoon, with Scope 2 representing 87% of total emissions.
- Scope 3: Advanced Technologies represents 87% of total emissions (Scope 1 and 2) as expected, due to manufacturing and having most of facilities.
Performance to date
Enhancing governance, process and procedures for data collection and data controls
- Emissions data owners identified in all operating segments
- Biannual emissions inventory process has been instituted to regularly track emissions and ensure compliance with environmental goals and regulatory requirements
Completing 2022 emissions inventory
- 2022 and 2023 emissions inventory successfully completed
Establishing metrics, targets and action plans as part of decarbonization roadmap
- In 2023, Calian committed to the Canada Net-Zero Challenge and successfully met the requirements of milestone one
- Completed Taskforce on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) gap analysis and released inaugural TCFD Report which will be updated annually.
- In July 2023, submitted to the Climate Disclosure Project

Priorities going forward
- Complete climate scenario analysis to identify and assess how climate-related risks may affect our financial outlook and to inform the development of mitigation strategies.
- Document net-zero road map with targets and metrics, and track progress transparently to ensure regulatory compliance.
- Submit Net-Zero Challenge milestone two: comprehensive net-zero plan.

Performance to date
Reviewing international applications for the Bin-Sense product
- Reviewing international applications for the Bin-Sense product with the goal of expanding beyond grain monitoring to other natural resources, such as water and crops like almonds and soybeans
- Over 364 million bushels of grains such as wheat, barley and lentils in 36,000 bins are being monitored using Bin-Sense
- Calian has entered the U.S. market, which produces 450 million tons of grain per year
- Our product is now being used with other grains and crops, such as black beans, corn, soybeans and rice, in addition to a few test sites with almonds
Collaborating with property managers to target waste management reduction
- Calian is cataloguing all facilities and their existing environmental management programs and will be reviewing to determine where waste management reduction can be further improved.
