Note: Vertical scale is to illustrate relative size of categories only. Scopes 1/2 and Scope 3 are not
additive under GHG protocol to avoid double-counting.
Federal-wide GHG emissions, selected categories

• Commuting (~9 MMT/yr gov-wide, -7% since FY08):– Telework policies & technology– Parking, transit, biking: facilities, subsidies, etc.– Location, location, location– External factors (e.g. CAFÉ standards)
• Business travel (~3 MMT/yr gov-wide, -35% since FY08)– Technological alternatives– Travel reduction– External factors (fuel costs; potential regulation)
• Supply Chain = Not tracked precisely, but likely >300 MMT/year gov-wide– What is your relative leverage? How does it compare to 30-100X
the potential impact per hour spent on supply chain versus commuting or travel?

• EO 13693 requires agencies to report emissions from leased space starting in FY16.
• GSA will calculate emissions for tenant agencies at the Occupancy Agreement level.
• GSA will deliver an annual report of emissions for all OAs to each tenant agency’s CSO.
• Report will include emissions for both GSA-owned space and space commercially leased by GSA. GSA will handle collection of data from commercial landlords (for space leased via GSA).
