International Flights6 7. Methodology Approach Operational control
- full control over the operational policies. All facilities are
run and managed by EV All offices and 4 out of 5 kitchens are
leased EV responsible for all bills and maintenance One exception
is LPG for leased kitchens7 8. Methodology Datacollection Scope 1
LPG bills Freon gas usage records Diesel and gasoline annual
consumption Distance traveled was estimated Scope 2 Over 6000
Electric bills. Scope 3 Vacationschedule8 9. Methodology The GRP
