EXTRA-FINANCIAL STATEMENT OF PERFORMANCE Reducing our environmental footprint

FOCUS ON WORLDLINE SCOPE 3B EMISSIONS

Emissions of the Scope 3B category not under Worldline direct control or influence represent 426,419 tons of CO 2 equivalent, or 98% of the total Group’s emissions (all scopes combined).

Upstream Purchased goods and services: 378,486 tons of CO 2 emissions in 2020 Capital goods: 2,570 tons of CO 2 emissions in 2020 Upstream transport: 1,077 tons of CO 2 emissions in 2020 Fuel and energy-related activities, not included in Scope 1 or Scope 2: 1,125 tons of CO 2 emissions in 2020 Employee commuting: 21,425 tons of CO 2 emissions in 2020

Downstream Use of sold products: 19,207 tons of CO 2 emissions in 2020 Downstream transport: 1,328 tons of CO 2 emissions in 2020 Waste generated in operations: 1,201 tons of CO 2 emissions in 2020

The Company has excluded several categories that are not relevant for the calculation of Scope 3 emissions such as downstream leased assets, investments and franchises and the travels of visitors and customers. The level of uncertainty remains high and the results must be considered as orders of magnitude. Within this Scope 3B, the most significant categories represent around 98% of this scope, among which the upstream category 1 “Goods and services” and the downstream category 11 “Use of sold products”. Our absolute emissions [GRI 305-4] D.5.2.2.2 The main source of Worldline’s carbon footprint ( i.e. Scopes 1, 2 and 3 included, as per the Greenhouse Gas Protocol), is the purchase of equipment and services (Scope 3B).

In the chart below, the considerable decrease of the Scope 1 emissions is mainly due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Regarding the Scope 2 emissions, a less significant but still marked decrease is partly due to the Covid-19 pandemic but also stems from the switch to renewable energy in various sites (Spain, Poland and UK). Eventually, as the scope 3A relates essentially to travels, the decrease of CO 2 emissions results from the sharp decrease of business travels due to the Covid-19. In fact, from February 25, 2020, all business travels were restricted following a management’s directive. Eventually, the increase of scope 3B emissions can be explained by several factors. Firstly, the impact of receipts (roughly 11,000t) has been taken into account. Secondly, the purchasing goods category highly increased in 2020 following a better spending report follow up. Indeed after the carve out with Atos, Worldline set up new and standalone tools. Thirdly, and lastly, spending of the SPS entity are not part of the scope 3B perimeter for the category purchased goods and services.
