The GHG emissions and intensity data disclosed as FILA group’s data were calculated by aggregating GHG emissions generated by major group subsidiaries falling into the reporting scope of this report - FILA Holdings, FILA Korea, FILA USA, FILA Sport (Hong Kong), and Montebelluna.

Due to the vertical demerger of FILA Korea and FILA Holdings in January 2020, FILA Holdings’ data is available from 2020 (this applies to all following data).

We comply with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol in calculating GHG emissions, but observe the standards of the ‘GHG and Energy Target Management System under the Low Carbon Green Growth Act’ in calculating power consumption at our offices and establishments located in Republic of Korea.

As the scope of GHG emissions calculation was extended from the previous year, data over the past three years was recalculated by retroactively applying the revised scope and criteria, and thus 2019/2020 emissions data may vary from the previous year’s disclosures.

GHG intensity was calculated based on FILA Holding’s consolidated revenue.

Scope of calculating the emissions of GHG:
- FILA Holdings: office in Seoul and FAST Center office in Busan, Republic of Korea
- FILA Korea: office in Seoul and a distribution center in Icheon, Republic of Korea
FILA Holdings and FILA Korea were relocated to its current office in Cheonho-dong, Seoul, Republic of Korea in July 2019. Since the two subsidiaries share the same building, their data was calculated in proportion to the floor areas they occupy (this applies to the following energy/water resources/waste data).
Sparks Glencoe Korea, Magnus Holdings and Montebellluna’s Korean branch are located in the same building but they do not constitute major subsidiaries that fall into the scope of reporting of this report, and thus their data was not separately disclosed (this applies to the following energy/water resources/waste data).
FILA USA: offices in New York, Maryland, and a distribution center in Baltimore, USA
FILA Sport (Hong Kong) & Montebelluna: Global Sourcing Center in Jinjiang, China
Both these subsidiaries are located within our Global Sourcing Center in Jinjiang, China, and are included in our disclosure since they share offices, lounges and amenities within the center
