Scope and Boundaries of GHG Reporting
Methodology for measuring the carbon footprint of our own operations Methodology
The carbon footprint complies with the GHG Protocol guidelines. 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 18 ). The calculation takes into account all our business activities and we continually work to improve the quality of the data. We are confident that today’s results accurately represent our emissions with an uncertainty rate of 20%. Our carbon footprint calculation covers all 3 scopes (scope 1, 2 and 3) according to the GHG Protocol. The data used for the 2025 calculation is based on information provided by all major production sites (in China, Ukraine, Portugal, Spain, South Africa and Australia) and sales offices (with over 10 employees). Where data was unavailable for those entities, it was extrapolated based on the number of employees. The data collection and calculation process was designed with the involvement of an independent third-party expert, ensuring methodological robustness, the application of data quality control principles and alignment with international best practices and the GHG Protocol. All collected data is consolidated in a central database, which is used to calculate and visualise emissions by source for the relevant reporting period. Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions are calculated using the same primary data set, which is quality-checked and collected internally within the Schréder Group. Throughout the data collection and processing process, the Company applies the principles of completeness, accuracy, transparency and consistency. It also ensures that any data limitations, assumptions or estimations are appropriately documented.
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 are not included in Schréder’s 2025 corporate carbon footprint results: • Photinus GmbH
• Schréder New Zealand Ltd • Ligman Lighting USA Inc. • Bahra Schréder
Reporting period
2025
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 2025: • Updates to the percentage of green electricity in the mix resulted in changes to historical data in Scope 2 and 3.3; • Reconsidered assumptions and calculation principles to improve data quality, affecting historical data for emission sources 3.1, 3.4, 3.5, 3.7 and 3.12.

(18) 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.
