GRI 305: EmissionsAudit Ready
GRI Universal Standards 2016 · Period: 14 Mar 2026 — 14 Apr 2026
Purpose
GRI 305 quantifies greenhouse gas emissions across all three scopes, providing the evidentiary basis for climate targets, carbon tax planning, and net-zero commitments. It is the counterpart disclosure to waste reporting and is increasingly required by institutional investors under climate stewardship policies.
Scope & Boundary
Scope 1 covers direct emissions from diesel combustion in haul trucks and fixed plant, LPG use, and explosives (ANFO). Scope 2 covers purchased electricity using the Eskom 2023 location-based grid factor (0.912 kg CO₂e/kWh). Scope 3 currently covers Category 4 (upstream transportation of waste streams) using DEFRA 2023 factors — additional categories will be added as metering is extended.
Key Disclosures
- 305-1: Scope 1 GHG emissions (direct)
- 305-2: Scope 2 GHG emissions (energy indirect)
- 305-3: Scope 3 GHG emissions (Category 4 — transport)
- GHG intensity: tCO₂e per tonne of waste generated
- Year-on-year change vs. 2025 base year
Primary Audience
Climate-focused investors, SBTi validation bodies, JSE sustainability reporting, SA National Treasury (Carbon Tax Act compliance), and TCFD-aligned analysts.

Scope 1 Source Breakdown
Framework Alignment Note
This report aligns with GRI 305: Emissions (2016). Scope 1 covers direct combustion at owned/controlled sources. Scope 2 uses the location-based method with the Eskom 2023 grid factor. Scope 3 covers Category 4 (upstream transport of waste streams) calculated using DEFRA 2023 articulated HGV factors. Consolidation approach: operational control. Intensity metric: 17.22 tCO₂e per tonne of waste generated.
