Air Emissions – VOC: 2022 VOC emissions data is estimated. 2022 actuals will be consolidated in April 2023. Water – Areas with high water stress: areas identified with high or extremely high water stress. Water stress level as defined per the Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas (medium scenario for 2030). Waste – Hazardous waste: waste displays one or more of the hazardous properties listed: “Explosive”; “Oxidising”; “Highly flammable”; “Flammable”; “Irritant”; “Harmful”; “Toxic”; “Carcinogenic”; “Corrosive”; “Infectious”; “Toxic for reproduction”; “Mutagenic”; “Sensitizing”; “Ecotoxic”, “Pressurised gas”. Waste – Material recovery: any operation wherein products, components of products, or materials that have become waste are prepared to fulfil a purpose in place of new products, components, or materials that would otherwise have been used for that purpose. 2022 material and energy recovery rates will be refined when final waste treatment information of year-end waste – representing about 9.5% of total – will be provided by waste collector companies. Meanwhile, unavailable information was estimated using 2022 actual breakdown ratios of the 90.5% available data.

Air Emissions – Scope 3 Purchased Goods and Services. This evaluation was performed using a dedicated tool developed by the International Aerospace Environmental Group (IAEG) offering a choice between two approaches: a “spend based” approach, allocating emissions to each amount spent in specific commodities and a “mass based” approach, allocating emissions to quantities of materials purchased. For this first evaluation, the Company has used the “spend based” approach. While this method embeds a certain degree of uncertainty, considered high by the IAEG on a certain number of emissions factors used in the methodology, it provides a relevant view of the sources of GHG emissions in the Company’s supply chain and enables comparison of the various Company’s scopes throughout its value chain. The calculation will be refined in future years as better quality data becomes available. In 2022, the Company improved the accuracy of some spent-based assumptions leading to a restatement of 2020 figures. In addition, the use average emission factors decreased from 6% of spent in 2020 to 2.5% in 2021 thanks to refined data allocation. Adjustments can be expected in future disclosures as the Company intends to further refine its computation, especially integrating mass-based information as data becomes available. Air Emissions – Scope 3 Indirect GHG emissions Business Travel: Worldwide air travels of Europe-based employees.
