Executive Summary Environment - TCFD reporting (part 8) Improving Financial Health ● Data Employees Our climate change strategy is underpinned by our commitment to become carbon neutral across our operations by 2030. Our climate goals Become carbon neutral in our own operations by 2030¹: - Scope 1 and 2 (1.5°C scenario): reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 50% by 2030 (from 2019) - Scope 3 (2°C scenario): reduce absolute Scope 3 emissions from purchased goods and services, business travel, and fuel-and-energy-related activities² by 15% by 2030 (from 2019) Offset 100% of our Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2025 65 Metrics and targets We use these metrics and targets to assess and manage relevant climate-related risks and opportunities associated with our operational performance. Supply Chain We recognise the importance of climate change to our stakeholders and the increasing emphasis on achieving net zero emissions globally, following the COP26 climate conference and the latest report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. We want to further our ambition and commitment towards net zero and, in the coming year, we will develop our plans to decarbonise our operations even further and transition to net zero as defined by the most recent standard from the Science Based Target initiative. We measure, externally assure and publicly report Experian's carbon footprint (see page 69 of FY22 Annual Report). This year, we reduced our Scope 1 and 2 Environment Governance Policies & Data tables Appendix experian emissions by a further 1% to 16.4 thousand tonnes of CO2 equivalent (CO2e). Since 2019, we have achieved a 44% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions, on our way to achieve a 50% reduction by 2030 and meet our science-based target. This reduction was due to the combination of various factors, including intermittent closure of our offices as a result of localised COVID-19 restrictions, embracing new flexible ways of working that have resulted in a decrease in building occupancy, and consolidation and reduction of office space. TM To enable the delivery of our Scope 1 and 2 science-based target, we have worked with colleagues across the business to identify opportunities to reduce our operational emissions. This year, the focus was on using our office space smartly and reducing our overall building footprint where flexible working has reduced the demand for office space. We will continue to invest in energy efficiency projects and technologies for our assets around the world, and source more renewable electricity. We cut the carbon intensity of our direct emissions³ by 16% this year to 2.6 tonnes of CO2e per US$1m of revenue. To achieve our Scope 3 target, our main focus is on engaging with suppliers to reduce the footprint of the products and services we buy, which make up 77% of our Scope 3 emissions. We are embarking on a process to gather actual Scope 3 emissions data from our suppliers, but since this is not currently available, we have followed common best practice to estimate our Purchased Goods and Services emissions category using an Extended Economic Input-Output (EEIO) model that uses expenditure data. A detailed methodology for this calculation can be found on our website. 1 Includes all Scope 1 and 2 emissions, as well as Scope 3 emissions from purchased goods and services, business travel, and 'well to tank' (which represent 83% of our baseline emissions in Scope 3). This is aligned with the boundaries covered by our science-based target approved by the Science Based Target initiative. Once emission reductions have been achieved in line with our science-based target, Experian will offset the remaining O Experian Public emissions within the boundaries of our science-based target to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030. 2 Also known as 'well-to-tank', is an average of all the greenhouse gas emissions released into the atmosphere from the production, processing and delivery of a fuel or energy. 3 Direct emissions include all Scope 1 and Scope 2 market-based emissions.
