MERLIN Properties Annual Report 2019 / English

| 73 Water consumption in assets in which MERLIN has no operational control In absolute terms, the assets in which the company does not have an operational control registered a water consumption of 32,543 m 3 (0.538 m 3 /sqm, referring to water intensity), with the totality of this consumption coming from assets from the offices portfolio. In terms of the Like for Like portfolio (which includes two office assets specifically), water consumption in 2019 accounted for 6,499 m 3 . Greenhouse gas emissions Consumption of electricity from non- renewable sources and fuel in MERLIN’s assets generate greenhouse gas emissions (GHG emissions). Considering the portfolio on a Like for Like basis, emissions have amounted to 21,511 t CO 2 eq in 2019, a 19.2% less if compared with 2018. In addition, also in Like for Like terms, direct emissions (Scope 1) (3) , including emissions deriving from the consumption of diesel and natural gas in the assets have reached 5,109 tCO 2 eq, while indirect emissions (Scope 2) (4) , associated with the generation of electricity consumed in assets, have reached a total of 16,402 tCO 2 eq. In absolute terms, overall emissions have reached 25,987 tCO 2 eq in 2019, being a 12.2% less with respect to the previous year. Broken down by scopes, 5,609 tCO 2 eq relate to Scope 1 emissions (fuel consumption), while the remaining 20,378 tCO 2 eq relate to Scope 2 emissions (electricity consumption). WATER CONSUMPTION IN MERLIN’S ASSETS (1) (1) Water consumption figures for 2018 were recalculated when adjusting water consumption in the office asset Ática 6. (2) When calculating intensity, the total area of the assets has been factored in, except in those cases where MERLIN only has management control of consumption in common areas, in which case only this area has been taken into account. (3) Scope 1 emissions were calculated taking into account the factors recommended by Spain’s Ministry of Ecological Transition (MITECO for its Spanish abbreviation). (4) Scope 2 emissions were calculated under a “Location Based” approach, considering the emission factor of the power mix for Spain and Portugal. The emission factor of the mix is a ratio represented by the intensity of CO 2 emissions with respect to the generation of electricity consumed. Therefore, it is an indicator of the relevance of low-carbon energy sources as regards the country’s overall electricity production.
