The 2019 and 2020 data were revised downwards due to the adjustment of certain values. (a) The data concern upstream and downstream transport managed by the Company. Transportation managed by Quadient (b) entities locally was not taken into account. In 2019, a survey was conducted at Company level to evaluate the greenhouse gas emissions generated from employee (c) daily journeys between home and work. The results of this survey were scaled to estimate global commuting emissions for Quadient. In 2021, the emissions were estimated based on the extrapolation of the results of the 2019 survey with 2021 FTE figures by country, the percentage of employees working from home and the percentage of days of remote working. The data covers 98.3 of the CSR reporting scope and should be treated with caution. The data related to hardware solutions were extrapolated from the Life Cycle Analysis conducted in 2020. The emissions (d) relative to corporate functioning were calculated by multiplying the spend data for each category of services by the corresponding conversion emission factors as outlined in the Base Carbone® The data were extrapolated from the LCA conducted in 2020 on the main hardware and software solutions. The (e) calculation is based on the annual consumption of hardware solutions during its use, multiplied by the number of machines placed on the market during the year in a given country. For the software solutions, the calculation is based on the emissions generated by sending email and mail, multiplied by the number of mail and email sent during the year. The data relate to all companies involved in industrial activities: QIF, QTL, Quadient Inc (Byhalia). (f) Material recovery and energy recovery. (g)

NOTES REGARDING METHODOLOGY AND THE CSR REPORTING SCOPE

CSR reporting scope

In addition, for CSR purposes, contractors supporting and developing the YayPay solution in Ukraine were included into the CSR Reporting Scope. This represents 78 employees. When one of the Company’s entities is not able to provide data for one specific indicator, and no estimation can be made, the entity is excluded from the indicator in question and an explanatory note specifies the scope or calculation method used for each indicator. Changes in the scope of reporting or calculation methodologies do not always make it possible to draw a relevant comparison of data for the 2021 and 2020 financial years. These changes are mentioned and specified for the indicators whenever they have occurred in order to facilitate the correct interpretation of the indicators. Furthermore, some indicators have not been mentioned in this report since they were deemed not relevant to the activity exercised by Quadient. This information concerns the environment with the indicator relating to land use and biodiversity, food waste and sustainable food.
