We report employee engagement as one of our key performance indicators for the business. During FY21 we switched from annual surveys to more regular pulse survey checks on our employees’ health and well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our annual survey has been reinstated for FY22. 
For FY22 going forwards we have switched our engagement survey from Korn Ferry to Great Place To Work, the questions are very similar in sentiment but not like-for-like.

Carbon emissions – overview
In order to accurately reflect our renewable electricity consumption, we are shifting our key emissions metrics from using location-based Scope 2 emissions to market-based Scope 2 emissions. Our carbon neutral 
commitment, our offsetting commitment, and our science-based targets are based on our market-based emissions.

1	 We have calculated marked-based scope 2 emissions using electricity supplier emission factors where available. Where these were not available, we used residual emission factors. If residual factors were not available we used location-based factors.
2	 Includes our total Scope 3 emissions (Purchased goods and services, Capital goods, Fuel-and-energy-related activities, Waste generated in operations, Business travel, Employee commuting, Upstream leased assets, and Investments). In prior years, this only included emissions from air travel. As we 
have now conducted a full Scope 3 analysis, we are able to report total Scope 3 emissions data for each year since our baseline year of 2019. This does not just include emissions from air travel, but all Scope 3 categories relevant to our business.
3	 Scope 3 categories that make up our Scope 3 science-based target.

Location-based carbon emissions. We have calculated location-based Scope 2 emissions using the International Energy Agency (IEA) 2021 carbon emission factors for electricity.
1	 Scope 3 categories that make up our Scope 3 science-based target.
2	 The 2018 intensity metric based on revenue has been restated following the adoption of IFRS 15. See note 3 to the Group financial statements on page 118 of the Annual Report 2019 for further detail. Metric reported in our 2018 Annual Report: 10.8 Kilograms of CO2 e per US$1,000.
