It is important to note that each FIFA World Cup is unique in its context, organisation and delivery. Reflecting this, each event’s GHG emission inventory has defined boundaries that are specific to the respective event and have evolved from the previous one. While the boundaries of the current report are, to some extent, aligned with those defined in previous reports, the SC has been included as a reporting entity, expanding the boundaries to include key host country-related activities, such as the construction of stadiums and other venues used for the delivery of the FWC, allocating proportional impacts based on use. Thus, while some aspects of this GHG accounting are comparable to the estimated carbon emissions from past FWC events, each report needs to be looked at separately. For this reason, the purpose of this report is to understand the environmental impact of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 and how emissions can be mitigated and offset, rather than to compare results with previous or future events. 1.2.1 Organisational boundaries According to “The Greenhouse Gas Protocol: GHG Protocol: A Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard – Revised Edition” (GHG Protocol), three different approaches can generally be chosen to determine the organisational boundaries of GHG accounting (World Resources Institute and World Business Council for Sustainable Development, 2004). The reporting entity can choose to account for and report its GHG emissions according to either the equity-share, the financial-control or the operational-control approach. In this case, there are three tournament organisers, with FIFA being the main reporting entity. The following paragraphs will compare the different approaches and explain the reasons for selecting the operational-control approach. The equity-share approach is mostly relevant for corporate GHG accounting since it focuses on the economic risks and rewards in company operations and is closely aligned with a company’s ownership of operations. The financial-control approach is used when an entity has full financial control over operations, can direct the financial and operating policies of operations and has the right to the economic benefits. The operational-control approach is used when an entity has operational control over operations and can implement and influence the operating policies. For the FWC 2022, the operational-control approach was chosen. The organisational boundary is set from the perspective of FIFA, Q22 and the SC. They do not have financial control over all event operations, but they do have influence over all operations. The events and activities related to operating policies that FIFA, Q22 and/ or the SC have operational control over, can implement and can influence are presented in Table 2. © SC Inauguration of the 4th FWC 2022 Venue, Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium 14 FIFA World Cup 2022™ Greenhouse gas accounting report 1.2.2 Operational boundaries According to the GHG Protocol, emissions are divided into direct and indirect emissions (WRI and WBCSD, 2004). Direct emissions originate from sources owned or controlled by the reporting entity. Indirect emissions are generated as a consequence of the reporting entity’s activities, yet they occur at sources owned or controlled by another entity. In this GHG account, the tournament organisers are the reporting entities. Direct and indirect emissions are divided into three scopes: • Scope 1: all direct GHG emissions, such as emissions from combustion in owned or controlled boilers and vehicles, as well as fugitive emissions from the use of cooling; • Scope 2: indirect GHG emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, heat, steam or cooling consumed by the reporting entity; and • Scope 3: other indirect emissions, such as emissions from the extraction and production of purchased materials and fuels, vehicles not owned or controlled by the reporting entity, outsourced activities and waste disposal. The included activities are presented in Table 3. The inclusion is made based on the inclusion/ exclusion decision process shown in Figure 4.

Some emission categories are deemed to be not applicable to the event. The direct and indirect emissions from the different activities are divided into three scopes, as shown in Table 4. 17 FIFA World Cup 2022™ Greenhouse gas accounting report Table 4: Overview of emission categories Emission category Emission sources Boundary Tournament activities Scope 1 Stationary combustion Generation of electricity and heat Included Venue operations Mobile combustion Company-owned or leased vehicles Included Transport Physical or chemical processing Manufacture or processing of chemicals and materials Not applicable No relevant activities Fugitive emissions Emissions from the use of cooling systems and air conditioning equipment Included Venue operations Scope 2 Electricity Purchased electricity Included Venue and office operations Steam Purchased steam Not applicable No relevant activities District heating Purchased district heating Not applicable No relevant activities District cooling Purchased district cooling Included Venue and office operations Scope 3 Purchased goods and services Purchased goods (raw materials) and services Included Construction Merchandise Printed matter Marketing materials Online media Capital goods Production of capital goods (e.g. machinery, equipment, etc.) Not applicable No relevant activities Fuel- and energy-related activities Upstream life-cycle emissions from fuel and electricity generation, including transmission and distribution losses Included Venue and office operations Upstream transportation and distribution Transportation and distribution of goods and services to the company Included Construction Logistics Dismantling Waste generated in operations Management of operational waste (landfilling, recycling, etc.) Included Venue and office operations Business travel Travel and accommodation of employees, contractors, volunteers and event attendees Included Included International air travel International ground travel Intra-city ground travel Accommodation Employee commuting Employee travel between home and work Outside of system boundaries Upstream leased assets Operation of assets leased by the organisation (lessee) in the reporting period and not included in Scope 1 or 2 Included Venue and office operations Downstream transportation and distribution Transportation and distribution of products sold by the organisation Not applicable No relevant activities 18 FIFA World Cup 2022™ Greenhouse gas accounting report Processing of sold products Processing of intermediate products sold by the organisation Not applicable No relevant activities Use of sold products Use of sold goods that require energy to operate Not applicable No relevant activities End-of-life treatment of sold products Waste disposal and treatment of sold products Not applicable No relevant activities Downstream leased assets Operation
