The previous year is always adjusted to January to December. In 2021 total scope 1, 2 (market-based) and business travel GHG emissions were 12% less than reported last year (83,098 tCO2e) mostly due to the use of Q4 2020 data not reflecting the decreased energy use that occurred in Q4 2021. Average uncertainty is +/- 10% for all KPIs. 2 There are several reasons for changes to prior-year figures: updated power grid factors, updates to historical data (such as billing updates), and methodology changes 3 Emissions from liquid fossil fuels decreased in 2022, owing largely to fewer power outages in India and lower office occupancy 4 HFC emissions decreased in 2022. However, the decrease is in the expected range factoring in maintenance work conducted 5 Market based electricity uses a zero emission factor for sites where renewable electricity contracts are in place, or Energy Attribute Certificates (RECs. GOs) are purchased to enable the claim that the attributes of renewable electricity apply to the consumption 6 Business travel includes travel by air, rail, rented vehicles, and taxis. The increase in emissions from business travel reflects global travel restrictions being removed 7 Total emissions are based on actual, estimated, or extrapolated data, including all market-based scope 1 and 2 emissions as well as scope 3, category 6-business travel emissions. The emission factors have been used for each activity data type, from internationally recognized sources, e.g., DEFRA/BEIS (2022), GHG Protocol, eGRID (2022), and IEA (2022), RE-DISS (2020), or, if more relevant, from country or contract specific sources. The factors include all GHGs and the gases’ Global Warming Potential as per the IPCC AR5 assessments. 8 2 All floor area metrics use an annual average from data for the period October 1, 2021, to September 30, 2022 (2.846 million m ). All FTE metrics use an annual average for the period October 1, 2021, to September 30, 2022 (83,454). 63
