Scope 3 emissions calculation is based on an annual data collection and a data model defined according to the GHG Protocol framework.
The following categories are either immaterial in relation to the totals or have been deemed too impractical to measure in relation to the amount of emissions they are deemed to include. They are therefore not included in the simplified data collection and calculations have largely been based on assumptions: 3.7 and 3.10.
The following categories are not applicable: 3.8, 3.11, 3.14 and 3.15. Data is not available for category 3.9.
Significant emissions to air and water, kg

| Hazardous air pollutants (HAP) to air | 481 | 832 |
| Zinc to air | 490 | 770 |

| Nickel to water | 106 | 124 |
| Fluorine to water | 5,695 | 6,581 |
Values of emissions to air and water refer to the production unit in Sandviken, which is the only operation that meets the thresholds in Annex II of Regulation (EC) No 166/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council. Alleima also measures SOx and particulate values in the air and persistent organic compounds, as well as calculates NMVOC in the air. These values are below the thresholds in Annex II. While emissions of zinc are not included in the HAP, the value exceeds the threshold in Annex II.
