In terms of business activities, the data centers represented 7%, the offices 30% and business travels 63%. The raise of absolute CO 2 emissions between 2018 and 2019 is due to the acquisition of the Six Payment Services entity. In the same period, Worldline lowered its CO 2 emissions by revenue of 1.86 points as presented hereafter.

terms can hardly be compared from year to year. That is why carbon intensity figures are much more relevant than absolute values to reflect Worldline’s progress in terms of energy efficiency. In 2019, Worldline's carbon intensity figures were 4.95 tons of CO 2 per € million and 0.99 tons of CO 2 per employee [GRI 305-4]. The progress made in terms of intensity in 2018 (tCO 2 e/€ million in sales) is directly linked to the reduction of emissions (numerator), changes in turnover or the number of employees (denominator) and changes in conversion factors. The reduction also comes from energy-saving initiatives in Worldline's data centers and offices. Unlike the CO 2 emissions described above, ozone-depleting substances (ODS), including Sulphur Oxides (SO x ) and nitrogen oxides (NO x ), have not been identified as material in Worldline’s operations since they represent around 20% of the GHG emissions vs. 80% for CO 2 emissions. The Company’s materiality matrix analysis has highlighted that Worldline’s operations do not have a significant or critical impact on other forms of pollution, such as noise pollution. As a consequence, no relevant and appropriate actions or measures need to be taken in this area. Other atmospheric emissions D.5.2.2.4 [GRI 305-6] and [GRI 305-7]

The rapid external growth of the Company has direct impacts on its carbon emissions in absolute value by integrating new companies, new activities in new countries or new production capacities accompanied by additional emissions. Thus, due to changes in the Company's scope, CO 2 emissions in absolute
