Negative Impacts
Creating non-GHG emissions, such as land, water and air pollution. This can occur either directly through the company's core products and services, indirectly through its suppliers' operations or when its products and services are used by customers.
Example: a company produces fertilizers that contain ammonia which can seep into lakes, or diesel-powered passenger cars that create particulate emissions.
Positive Impacts
Removing or contributing towards the reduction of non-GHG emissions, such as land, water and air pollution, or producing or enabling products and services that create less non-GHG emissions compared to their most common alternatives. This can occur either directly through the company's core products and services, indirectly through its suppliers' operations or when its products and services are used by customers.
Example: a company produces oil spill clean-up technology.
