Executive Summary Environment - TCFD reporting (part 9) Improving Financial Health Data Employees 66 Supply Chain Based on this estimate, our combined Scope 3 emissions over the selected categories of our science-based target (namely Purchased Goods and Services, Business Travel, and Fuel-and-energy-related activities) for FY22 show an increase of 2% compared with the 2019 baseline. This rise in emissions is due to an increase in expenditure as a result of business growth (i.e. 29% revenue growth across our regions over the last three years. As our science-based target is an absolute target, we are committed to cutting total emissions despite the business growing. We are engaging with our suppliers to understand how they can reduce their emissions and, if required, will switch to suppliers that can better support our target. As this process takes time, we expect some increases in emissions before our initiatives begin to deliver reductions. However, we remain committed to delivering a 15% reduction in these Scope 3 emissions by 2030. Metrics and targets - continues Moving forward we have identified the top 200 carbon-intensive suppliers based on spend and we plan to use data from CDP (formerly known as Carbon Disclosure Project) to update our estimates with actual data from suppliers. This will allow us to recalibrate our figures and get a more accurate scale of the footprint in the Purchased Goods and Services category of Scope 3 emissions. In FY22, we signed up to participate in the CDP Supply Chain Programme to progress our work with our top 200 suppliers globally and ensure our climate change commitments are reflected and amplified across our value chain. Our supply chain plays an important role in achieving our carbon reduction target for Scope 3 and we are keen to explore opportunities that can help to accelerate our decarbonisation plan. Through the CDP Supply Chain Programme, we will engage with suppliers to understand their climate strategy (including science-based targets and net zero carbon reduction plans where relevant), review their performance and identify ways to reduce the carbon intensity of the products and services we purchase from them.

This year, we were included on the CDP Supplier Engagement Leaderboard 2021, ranking among the top 8% of companies for supplier engagement on climate. This is based on our 'A' Supplier Engagement Rating, outperforming the 'B-' average for both the Europe region and the global specialised professional services sector. Once we have achieved our science-based target and reduced our emissions as far as possible, we will invest in high-quality carbon offsetting projects to offset the remaining Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions within the boundaries of our science-based target to achieve carbon neutrality in our own operations by 2030. To support this journey, as part of our secondary carbon offsetting commitment, we offset 20% of our FY21 Scope 1 and 2 emissions and are offsetting 40% of our remaining FY22 emissions. We will gradually increase this to offset 100% of our Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2025. By tracking and disclosing these metrics and targets we make sure we continuously assess and manage some of our key climate-related transitional risks (particularly compliance with climate change commitments, investor sentiment associated with our environmental performance and climate disclosure as mandated and/or expected by stakeholders) and the physical risk of energy demand as outlined on the 'Climate-related financial risks and opportunities for our business' table on page 65 of the FY22 Annual Report. This year, we invested in a Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) offsetting project in Kenya that will not only avoid carbon emissions, but also support climate adaptation, promote biodiversity, bring added value to communities and contribute to 11 of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. 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 VCS standard, and is also certified with Climate, Community and Biodiversity (CCB) Gold Level. 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.
