Scope and Boundaries of GHG reporting
Methodology for measuring carbon footprint of our own operations Methodology
The carbon footprint complies with the guidelines of the GHG Protocol. The main sources used for the emissions factors are the ADEME (Agence de l’Environnement et de la maitrise de l’Energie) and the IEA (Internation Energy Agency). Our calculation includes all greenhouse gases. To communicate our emissions, we have chosen to report absolute emissions (tonnes of CO 2 equivalent 19 ). The calculation takes into account all our business activities and we are continually working to improve the quality of the data. Today, we are confident that the following results accurately represent our emissions with a 20% uncertainty rate. Our carbon footprint calculation covers all 3 scopes (scope 1+2+3) according to the GHG Protocol. The data used for the 2024 calculation is based on information provided by all major production sites (China, Hungary, Ukraine, Portugal, Spain, South Africa and Australia) and sales offices (over 10 employees). Where data was not directly available for those entities, it was extrapolated based on the number of employees.
Scope
Boundaries
System boundaries Some of the emission sources according to the GHG Protocol are not applicable for Schréder. These are the following: • 3.9 Downstream transport and distribution
• 3.10 Processing of products sold • 3.13 Downstream leased assets • 3.14 Franchises All other emission sources as defined by the GHG Protocol are included in our reporting. Organisational boundaries The following entities do not include in Schréder’s 2024 corporate carbon footprint results: • Photinus GmbH
• Schréder New Zealand Ltd • Ligman Lighting USA Inc.
Reporting period
2024
Baseline
The selected baseline year for our SBTi targets is 2019.
Restatement of information
The following improvements and changes have been made to our reporting process during 2024: • Improved data collection process for company car consumption resulted in an update of historical data for emission source 1.3 Mobile sources. • The emission factor of the country specific electricity mix has been changed from ADEME data to IAE (International Energy Agency) data. This change affects the historical data of scope 2 and emission source 3.3 Indirect emissions from fuels and energy. • Reconsidered assumptions and calculation rules to improve data quality, affecting historical data for emission sources 3.1 and 3.4.

(19) A carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) is a metric measure used to compare the emissions from various greenhouse gases on the basis of their global-warming potential (GWP), by converting amounts of other gases to the equivalent amount of carbon dioxide with the same global warming potential.
