Carbon Emissions & GHG Reporting

Amity University Haryana

Amity University Haryana is committed to reducing its environmental impact by systematically monitoring, managing, and reporting its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The university follows internationally recognised methodologies aligned with the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard to assess and report emissions arising from campus operations, energy consumption, transportation, and resource use.

GHG Reporting Framework

The university’s carbon accounting framework is based on the classification of emissions into three scopes:

✔ Scope 1: Direct Emissions

Emissions generated from on-campus sources such as fuel consumption in university-owned vehicles, generators, and other operational equipment.

✔ Scope 2: Indirect Energy Emissions

Emissions associated with purchased electricity and energy consumed across campus infrastructure, including academic buildings, hostels, and administrative facilities.

✔ Scope 3: Other Indirect Emissions

Emissions resulting from commuting, waste management, procurement activities, and other indirect sources linked to university operations.

Measurement & Methodology

Amity University Haryana adopts standardized methodologies consistent with global best practices to ensure accuracy and transparency in carbon accounting. Emission calculations are based on:

• Energy consumption data (electricity, fuel usage)
• Infrastructure and facility operations
• Waste generation and disposal practices
• Transportation and commuting patterns

The university continuously improves its data collection and reporting systems to align with evolving international sustainability standards.

Carbon Reduction Initiatives

The university actively implements measures to reduce its carbon footprint, including:

• Energy-efficient infrastructure supported by a LEED Platinum certified campus
• Adoption of sustainable building practices
• Promotion of energy conservation and responsible resource usage
• Awareness programmes and sustainability initiatives for students and staff

Reporting & Transparency

Amity University Haryana is committed to transparency in environmental reporting and is progressively strengthening its carbon disclosure mechanisms. Annual carbon data and sustainability performance are reviewed and documented to support continuous improvement and alignment with global frameworks.

Commitment

The university strives to align its environmental practices with international standards and continues to enhance its GHG reporting framework in accordance with the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard, reinforcing its commitment to climate action and sustainable campus development.
