AUDICO Technology – DEdICTAtED TO REDUCING OUR CARBON FOOTPRINT
We at Audico Technology have calculated our first climate footprint in partnership with ClimatePartner Sweden AB. ClimatePartner calculates the climate footprint of companies in accordance with several recognized standards, primarily the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard (GHG Protocol). Their methodology is closely aligned with ISO 14064, which ensures comprehensive documentation and compliance with international guidelines. ClimatePartner's structured approach ensures that our climate footprint calculation is robust and credible, facilitating us to take effective strategies for climate action.
Our climate footprint refers to all emission categories in Scope 1 and 2 as well as business travels and employee commuting trips in Scope 3. This has given us an insight into our climate footprint as well as a good basis for taking more superficial climate measures.
The CFF is the sum of the CO2 emissions released by the company within the defined system boundaries over a specified period of time. In this report, the different CCFs are grouped together as Audico Group and include the following individual calculations: Audico Holding Oy, Audico Systems AB, Audico Systems Oy, Audico Technology Oy, Intersonic AB, Intersonic Oy and RoomSense Oy.
In preparation the corporate footprint and this report, five basic principles were observed in accordance with the GHG protocol:
Relevance
The calculation should account for all greenhouse gas GHG emissions that appropriately reflect the company´s carbon footprint. This report is designed to support internal and external decision-making.
Completeness
The report must include all GHG emissions within the selected systems boundaries. Any significant exclusions of data must be clearly documented, disclosed and justified.
Consistency
Consistent methodologies are used to that the company´s emissions can be compared over time.
Transparency
All important aspects of a company are recorded objectively and any assumptions data gaps and resulting extrapolations or data exclusions are presented clearly and openly in this report.
Accuracy
The calculations of GHG emissions are designed to ensure that they are neither over nor undervalued. The report aims to be as accurate as possible and to minimise uncertainties, so the company can make appropriate decisions.
Here you read our climate footprint for the reporting year 2023.
We also aim to expand our climate calculations with ClimatePartner in the future. This helps us understand our climate impact even more. In addition, ClimatePartner's calculations are designed to meet the calculation requirements of the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi), which gives us a good basis in the future to design science-based reduction targets and take reduction measures.

Audico group already acknowledges the importance of the UN Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs) as a shared global ambition to protect our planet and create prosperity for all. We have plans and ESG goals in place. The carbon footprint report gives as a tool and even better understanding of how we can affect emission and make it easier to follow up. The collaboration with ClimatePartner is yet another step for us. As a company, we can have a large influence by adapting the way we work to meet the needs of future generations. The SDGs have been integrated into our sustainability agenda where we believe our business can contribute towards them.
