*** Figures were calculated on the basis of fuel usage for our commercial fleet (product distribution and home shopping fleets), elec tricity usage in our stores, distribution centres and offices, business air-travel and our corporate fleet (company cars and corporate jet), and the use of diesel from our generators. Emissions from fuel usage and business air-travel were calculated using the DEFRA greenhouse gas emissions reporting protocol. Emissions from electricity usage were calculated using the Eskom conversion factor of 1,03 tonnes of CO2 per MWh of Eskom electricity.
