Worldline’s carbon intensity D.5.2.2.3 [GRI 305-4]

First of all, the level of CO 2 emission in data centres highly increased in 2020. However it is mostly ensued from a change of perimeter. In fact, in 2019, India is part of the 2020 reporting while it has not been taken into account in 2019. Secondly, the noticeable decrease of the CO 2 emissions in offices is mainly due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Furthermore, it also stems from the switch to renewable energy in various sites (Spain, Poland and UK). Eventually, the decrease of CO 2 emissions related to travels 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.

Other atmospheric emissions D.5.2.2.4 [GRI 305-6] and [GRI 305-7]

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.
