* Sodexo does not publish these two KPIs as the calculation methodologies are in the process of being made more reliable. These indicators will be published from 2022 to cover the entire Sodexo footprint.

Since Fiscal 2020, we have published the reductions in greenhouse gas emissions compared to the 2017 reference year helping assessing our performance against the -34% target set by the Group and validated in July 2019 by the Science Based Target initiative (SBTi).

We are recording significant reductions for all of our greenhouse gas emissions, in line with our reduction projections and helped by Covid-related decline in our activity.

The Scopes 1 and 2 emissions reduction is greater compared to last year. This is mainly due to the increase in the share of electricity from renewable sources and less impacting fuel oil such as biodiesel in the energy mix. In addition, the share of extrapolation was reduced in 2021 with the inclusion in the reporting of the majority of the Benefits & Rewards activity, previously partly extrapolated.

The reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from the Scope 3 supply chain compared to the 2017 reference year is in line with our forecasts and the trajectory that the Group must follow in order to meet the overall objective of -34% reduction by 2025. This result is due on the one hand to the drop in activity linked to the pandemic but also to the implementation of the responsible purchasing strategy aimed at reducing the volumes of animal proteins in favor of plant-based proteins. However, due to an improvement and homogenization of the methods of the emission factors used, the intensity is greater than the previous year.

Sodexo is continuing its actions to achieve its objective of halving food waste in its food service operations by 2025, thanks to its digital technology and behaviour change program: WasteWatch, with measurement and monitoring of food waste daily. At the end of May 2021, 878 Sodexo sites were measuring and reducing their food waste, enabling Sodexo to successfully avoid food waste equivalent to 1,189.29 tCO2e. The -45.8% in food waste reduction was achieved due to a robust governance with dedicated project managers to support the country program deployment coupled with training programs that engaged site teams on food waste reduction actions. We also had a third of our reporting sites who had the WasteWatch program since pre-Covid, their important share in the total number of reporting sites explains the high reductions we have registered in 2021. Variations on food waste reduction are expected in the coming years, as we will be gradually including new sites in the program.
