SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT Emissions Intensity Total GHG emissions do not necessarily reflect efficiency as they do not consider changes in output. WSC expresses its emissions intensity as the tonnes of CO2e produced by 1,000 man-hours. Year 2022* 2021 2020 Total Emission (tCO2e) 25,225 13,599 14,674 Total Man-hours 10,985,154 5,938,644 3,038,508 tCO2e/Man-hours (1,000) 2.30 2.29 4.83 Note: Data for 2022 encompasses all entities in WSC. Data for 2020 and 2021 were scoped to WSC’s Energy Solutions Services only. Pollution Prevention and Control WSC is committed to addressing pollution by taking the following measures to reduce and avoid pollution impacts. They include: • Identifying resources and the generation of all types of waste; • Avoiding their impact and improving efficiency; • Examining our water and energy performance; • Reducing or eliminating pollution at its source; and • Modifying production, maintenance and facility processes, materials substitution, conservation, recycling and reusing materials where applicable. Preserving Biodiversity We strive to operate responsibly and protect biodiversity where we work worldwide. As part of our commitment to the UNSDGs, we commit to net positive biodiversity impact by exploring our impacts on biodiversity, protected areas and areas of significant biological value at our operational sites. We are focused on minimising biodiversity impact and our environmental footprint, preserving natural habitats and protecting and restoring ecosystems through nature-based projects. We conduct formal biodiversity risks assessment on existing operations and potential new operations and projects. Before commencing a project, we perform a detailed Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) to study the potential impact of our operations on habitats and ecological functions. The EIA also helps the Company to formulate risk mitigation approaches. As example, biodiversity risks are continuously monitored at our new site in Tanzania. Waste WSC is responsible for conducting business without any detrimental effects on the environment. We comply with all applicable and prevailing laws and industry standards on waste management, adopting products, systems, and work practices that minimise or reduce the impact of waste whilst improving efficiency by increasing the potential for reuse and recycling of resources. The Group’s Waste Management Procedure sets out the following expectations: • Efficient resource use to minimise the impact of pollution. • Waste generation should be minimised at its source whenever possible. • Finding alternative means for waste disposal by adopting cleaner and sustainable technology. • Meeting all legal requirements on waste handling and disposal.
