Executive Summary Improving Financial Health Data Employees Supply Chain Environment Governance Policies & Data tables Appendix Environment – carbon offsetting 68 Offsetting our remaining emissions We have a commitment to be carbon neutral by 2030 and have set a science-based target, verified by the SBTI, in order to deliver on this. As explained in the previous slides, we have a wide range of activities taking place across the company in order to deliver this including reducing the footprint of our buildings and data centres, switching to using more renewable energy, engaging with our supply chain, and reducing the carbon impact of business travel. We are very clear that reducing our emissions is our priority in order to deliver on our carbon neutral commitment. However in order to reach our carbon neutral commitment we are also investing in high-quality carbon offsetting projects to offset any remaining emissions. We have a target to carbon offset 100% of scope 1 & 2 emissions by 2025. We offset 20% of remaining scope 1&2 emissions in FY21, 40% in FY22, 60% in FY23, and will offset 80% for FY24 and 100% for FY25. Experian Public Our requirements for offsets 1) Be certified by recognised carbon standard, e.g. Verified Carbon Standard (VCS), and the carbon credit is retired and removed from the governing registry for each reporting year. 2) Preferably be certified to a Gold level with the Climate, Community and Biodiversity (CCB) Standard. 3) Preferably a community-based project that supports our sustainable business strategic priority of Improving Financial Health for all. 4) Contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that our business supports: o 1.4 - No Poverty; 。 8.10 - Decent Work and Economic Growth; o 9.3 Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure. 5) Preferably projects are located within a geography where Experian operates, and where the current lack of infrastructure would prevent us from achieving carbon reductions locally. www.experianplc.com/responsibility/protecting-the-environment • Bexperian. Our carbon offsetting project We have invested in a Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) offsetting project in Kenya that not only avoids carbon emissions, but also supports climate adaptation, promotes biodiversity, brings added value to communities and contributes to 11 SDGs The Kasigau REDD+ Project Phase II - The Community Ranches - from Wildlife Works is the first project in the world to issue REDD+ carbon offsets under the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) standard. Also certified with Climate, Community and Biodiversity (CCB) Gold Level. The Kasigau corridor in Kenya runs between two wildlife parks, the Tsavo East and Tsavo West national parks. It is threatened by farmers chopping down trees to clear the land for cattle and by illegal poaching. The project aims to protect more than 500,000 acres of Kenyan forests under threat from cattle farming by providing communities with alternative income opportunities, training wilderness guardians, and securing a wildlife migration corridor between the Tsavo East and Tsavo West national parks. This project itself has expanded to protect over 500,000 acres, which includes the protection of over 50 species of large mammals, 20 species of bats and over 300 species of birds. The project also protects a variety of IUCN Red Listed species including over 2,000 African elephants.
