EXTRA-FINANCIAL STATEMENT OF PERFORMANCE Reporting methodology and scope for non-financial indicators

For business: Car travel: company car / private car (fuel consumption or ● distance travelled): Exclusion of Indonesia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, China, USA, Brazil, Hungary; Air travel (distance travelled and emissions from the travel ● agency): Exclusion of Indonesia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Poland, Estonia, Lithuania, USA, Brazil, Hungary; Train travel (total kilometres travelled): Exclusion of ● Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, China, Sweden, USA, Brazil, Hungary, Poland, Estonia; Taxi travel (total kilometres travelled): Exclusion of Poland, ● Estonia, Sweden, USA, Brazil, Hungary, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan. For energy consumption, the countries excluded in 2020 are: Indonesia, Taiwan, United-States, Brazil, and Hungary. Comments on the indicators are included in the corresponding chapters. Detailed information related to GRI 302-1 KPI "Energy consumption within the organisation" Worldline used a collection methodology based on the GHG protocol and the GRI Standards. In this way the two processes can be integrated and the data for both reports can be gathered. For the CO 2 calculations, country regulations and calculation methods have been applied. The conversion factors have been adjusted according to country and type of energy consumed (fuel oil, diesel, gas, electricity). Conversion factors are based on the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs of UK (DEFRA) and the International Energy Agency (IEA). The methodology used is provided directly through the local power supplier or landlord: Concerning electricity, metres are installed at the site level ● to measure the energy consumed in kWh. The measurement recorded by the metres is used by suppliers or via landlords for issuing invoices; Concerning natural gas, metres are installed at site level to ● measure the energy consumed in m 3 and converted in kWh according to local conversion ratios, in many cases directly by the supplier. The invoice is provided directly by the gas supplier or via the landlord. Invoices state the total amount consumed in kWh and/or its monetary value (local currency). If only the monetary value is provided, the respective consumption in kWh is calculated by using a respective cost per unit rate.

Worldline has included some assumptions and techniques for underlying estimations applied to the compilation of the Indicators and other information in the specific KPIs. For example, in the case of unavailability of actual consumption data, estimates based on previous period consumption have been used to calculate actual consumption. In the case of unavailability of consumption data, estimates based on footage and average consumption from other sites have been used to calculate actual consumption. The corresponding data is entered into the organisation’s application for each site. The cooling purchased through the local district cooling schemes, for DC and offices is zero (0) GJ and the total of steam purchased through district heating schemes to heat sites is not available. Worldline does not sell electricity, heating, cooling, or steam to third parties. Detailed information related to GRI 302-3 KPI "Energy intensity" The Energy intensity ratio is calculated by dividing the absolute energy consumption during the reporting year (the numerator) by the revenue metric expressed in € (the denominator) produced by the organisation, in the same reporting year. The Energy intensity ratio expresses the energy required per unit of activity. For consistency, the scope of reporting is aligned with the country scope included within our 2020 baseline. For the Energy intensity ratio per revenue, the denominator for revenues is covered by 99.74%. Within that scope, the revenue corresponds to the turnover generated by these countries within the baseline during the year (reporting period: January 1 – December 31) under analysis. For the Energy intensity ratio per employee, the denominator for employees is the total headcounts registered at the end of the financial year for all countries within the baseline as on December 31, covering 99.65% of employees. The types of energy included in the intensity ratio are: electricity, gas, district heating, backup generator fuel (diesel and fuel oil). The ratio uses energy consumed only within the organisation (energy required to operate). Detailed information related to GRI 302-5 KPI "Reductions in energy requirements of products and services" The Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) is a standard calculation: total kWh consumed by the entire site infrastructure divided by the kWh consumed by the IT infrastructure. The PUE is the industry standard indicator used to measure and monitor the energy efficiency of a data centre. The base year is the reporting period (January 1 to December 31). Considering the external growth of the Company, the geographical scope can progressively change to include additional countries.
