Verified by EY®, based on limited assurance. The TCO scope is reviewed annually. It covered 89% of total emissions in 2022. Data were updated to reflect change in TCO scope accordingly. Geographical scope: In 2022, 48 sites . Scope of metrics: Scope 1 & 2 and notably excluding refrigerant leakage, electricity on site from CHP, emissions due to processes, as well as excluding DFO for 12 sites and heating for one site representing less than 4 ktons CO 2 e in total. Scope 2 is location based with purchased guarantees of origin deduced.

In 2022, the Company defined a target for its Scope 3 category 11 (use of sold products) for commercial aircraft products, covering over 90% of its total emissions: – CO 2 : reduce scope 3 (category 11 – use of sold product) for commercial aircraft by 46% in terms of CO 2 per passenger kilometre. This target, alongside the Company’s scope 1 & 2 target, was validated by SBTi in January 2023, showing the Company’s GHG reduction targets are aligned with the goals of the Paris Agreement adopted at COP21 in December 2015. It was set based on the carbon budget allocated to aviation by the International Energy Agency in its Sustainable Development Scenario (SDS); –this is a physical intensity target, in line with the SBTi recommendations, and highlighting the importance of technology and aircraft carbon efficiency for the
decarbonisation of the sector. The metric is based on the Company’s corresponding scope 3 Use of Sold Product for commercial aircraft. In alignment with SBTi methodology, it now includes emissions from upstream fuel production and predicted average SAF usage over the aircraft lifetime as per IEA SDS (ETP 2020) scenario. See “– 1.2.17 ESG Data Board – Environmental performance” for detailed methodology. The Company is committed to contributing to meeting the Paris Agreement targets and to taking a leading role in the decarbonisation of the aviation sector in cooperation with all stakeholders. Consequently, the Company is developing a multi faceted climate-impact programme for commercial aircraft. This includes a focus on new aircraft technology development, SAF, hydrogen, air traffic management (ATM) solutions, and carbon removal solutions.
