INDIRECT EMISSIONS
With regard to indirect emissions like
guest transport to and from ports
of embarkation, business travel and
logistic activities related to transport
and deliveries of supplies, Carnival
Corporation makes estimates for
each Operating Line
8
. Based on this
estimate, the portion attributable to
Costa Cruises’ upstream activities for
2015 amounted to 6,870metric tons of
CO
2
*.In this connection Costa Cruises
is engaged in the assessment and
promotion of alternatives to transport
by road and, where possible, by air.
The most significant initiative is the
partnership with Trenitalia for “train +
cruise” packages in Italy, which began
in 2014. The Rail&Cruise formula has
had a positive effect in terms of the
indirect impact of Costa’s operations,
shifting some traffic from road to rail
and reducing emissions in and around
the ports concerned.

It is pointed out that GHG emission
calculations for “Scope 3” (supply chain)
use various sources of secondary data since
primary data is unavailable. The secondary
data sources are not all encompassing as
Carnival Corporation is still evaluating
other potential energy consumption
activities; CO
2
emissions related to capital
goods have not yet been calculated.

Amount calculated for the whole Carnival
Group and for Costa Cruises proportionally
based on the number of ships in its fleet.
