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.
