4 CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY

Environmental responsibility: Innovating all along our value chain

' * # " (( $#( ' (*!) # '$" $*' $% ' ) $#( We are kicking off the first phase of our "net zero" emissions programme by reducing the impact of our direct activities (offices, on- and off-site data centres and business travel), followed by our indirect activities (waste, commuting and supply chain). DIRECT ACTIVITIES – TARGETS AND RESULTS IN TERMS OF GHG EMISSIONS Our objectives have been defined with regard to SBTi and aligned on a 1.5°C trajectory. The 2020 results are broken down by typology. SBTi TARGET I: Reduce absolute greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from Scopes 1 & 2 (offices and on-site data centres) by 42% by p 2025 (baseline: 2015) RESULTS: Absolute GHG emissions reduced by 73% since 2015. • SBTi TARGET II: Reduce absolute GHG emissions from Scope 3 (business travel and off-site data centres) by 21% by 2025 (baseline: p 2015). RESULTS: Absolute GHG emissions reduced by 62% since 2015. • SBTi TARGET III: Reduce GHG emissions per employee from Scopes 1, 2 & 3 (business travel, offices and on- and off-site data centres) p by 85% by 2040 (baseline: 2015). RESULTS: GHG missions per employee were reduced by 74% between 2015 and 2020. GHG emissions per employee were reduced • by 58.9% in 2020 relative to 2019, with a large portion of this reduction (estimated at 82%) due to the consequences of the Covid-19 crisis and the remainder resulting from more environmentally responsible practices.

TARGET: Introduce an internal shadow carbon price for business p travel in the Group’s key geographies by 2025. RESULTS: In 2020, the Group calculated an internal shadow • carbon price for key geographies covering 95% of its workforce. This internal carbon price helps encourage reduced business travel by providing each country with a clearer picture of the environmental footprint resulting from travel. TARGET: Incorporate the Group’s business travel, offices and p data centres and fugitive emissions into the "net zero" Emissions programme. RESULTS: Since 2015, emissions from offices, data centres • (fugitive emissions included) and business travel are carbon neutral (2) and were transitioned into the United Nations “Climate Neutral Now” (3) programme in 2020. Due to impact of the investment in carbon capture offset, offices and data centres become part of the “net zero” programme in 2020. Business travel remains with carbon avoidance offset.

OFFICES AND ON-SITE AND OFF-SITE DATA CENTRES These results contribute to the achievement of SBTi Targets I, II and III . RESULTS: GHG emissions per employee were reduced by 76% between 2015 and 2020, and are carbon neutral through the "Climate Neutral Now" programme. GHG emissions per employee were reduced by 23% in 2020 relative to 2019, with a portion of this reduction (estimated at 12%) due to the consequences of the Covid-19 crisis and the remainder resulting from more environmentally responsible practices.

CDSB REQ: For more information, see the Glossary on page 308. (1) carbon neutral: when a company has measured and reduced its GHG emissions and offset its residual emissions, all verified with independent verification. (2) "Climate Neutral Now": an initiative launched by the UN in 2015 to encourage all citizens to take action to help achieve the goal of a climate-neutral world by the middle of the (3) century, in accordance with the Paris Agreement.
