It is hereby verified by TÜV AUSTRIA Standards & Compliance that

Reporting boundary:
The following categories of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions were taken into account when assessing thecarbon footprint of the 8th Eastern Economic Forum organized on September 10-13, 2023 by theRoscongress Foundation (hereinafter - the Event):
Direct GHG emissions (Scope 1):• Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from transportation of organizers and participants during the Event.
Indirect GHG emissions from imported energy (Scope 2):• Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from imported electricity consumed at the Event’s sites.
Other indirect emissions converted to tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) (Scope 3):• emissions from transportation of organizers and participants to and from the Event;• emissions from purchased food and beverages;• emissions from the production of marketing materials;• emissions from waste disposal;• emissions from hotel accommodation.
Exclusions from the reporting boundary:Emissions from the use of refrigerants were excluded from the reporting boundaries due to the absenceof air-conditioning equipment charging directly during the event and emissions from wastewater
treatment at third-party treatment facilities due to their insignificance.
The following assumption was made when calculating emissions by category:• flights of all participants to and from the Event are accounted for by the route Moscow-VladivostokMoscow.
The calculation of the carbon footprint of the Event was prepared using WRI/GHG Protocol standards.
Carbon offset data:
The Event's carbon footprint is offset by certified emission reduction units from the GHG project‘Utilization of the ethane-propane fraction of the ZapSibNeftekhim enterprise by burning it in power
boilers of the Tobolsk Thermal Power Plant (TPP) to replace natural gas’ (project validation report VEUER-073-VAL, version 1.2 of April 28, 2023; verification report VE-UER-073-VER, version 3.1 of April 28,2023). The retirement and transfer of emission reduction units for voluntary compensation of the Event
GHG emissions was carried out in the registry of the Green Digital Platform (transaction: 0x0c643ae5
879faf5826dd8d1cbdab29097827b2b38f4f9b0dacb113db413a51fc, dated September 15, 2023).
Verification Activities :The following were the verification activities undertaken :• verification of the Event's carbon footprint calculations through selective recalculation of calculations,back-calculation and cross-checking;• verification and reconciliation of input data on the Event and emission factors;• verification of data on the GHG project implemented at SIBUR's ZapSibNeftekhim LLC and evidence ofthe retirement and transfer of certified emission reduction units.
The verification activity has been carried out in accordance with ISO 14064-3:2019 and the principles ofISO 14065:2020. The verification activities applied in a limited level of assurance are less extensive innature, timing and extent than in a reasonable level of assurance verification.
