Exhibit 13 shows corporate level Scope 1+2 emissions per dollar of revenue by country. To derive this, we apply a companys overall emissions intensity to a country based on what percent of revenue each company sells in a given country. So if a company sells 50% of its product into country A and 50% of its product into country B, both countries would be allocated half the companys emissions and half the companys revenue towards calculating country-level corporate emissions intensity. Looking at corporate emissions intensity in this way, countries like Saudi Arabia, India and Russia have the highest corporate emissions intensity. Corporate emissions intensity is lowest in Western European
