Carbon Reduction PlanSupplier name: Computacenter UK Ltd
Publication date: September 2024
Commitment to achieving Net Zero
Computacenter UK Ltd is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2040.

Baseline Emissions Footprint
Baseline emissions are a record of the greenhouse gases that have been produced in the past andwere produced prior to the introduction of any strategies to reduce emissions.
Baseline emissions are the reference point against which emissions reduction can be measured.
Baseline Year: Scope 1 + 2: 2019. Scope 3: 2021.
Additional Details relating to the Baseline Emissions calculations
2019 has been selected as our baseline for Scopes 1 and 2 as a change in methodology to reflect
more accurate reporting was made. These methods continue to be used for current emissions
reporting. 2021 was the first year Computacenter UK Ltd calculated a full Scope 3 inventory, andhas therefore been used as a baseline.

Emissions reduction targets
In June 2023, Computacenter PLC’s near-term, long-term and Net Zero science-based emissions
reduction targets were validated by the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
Computacenter’s commitments are:Near-Term Targets:
Computacenter PLC commits to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 82.1% by 2032
from a 2019 base year. Computacenter PLC also commits to reduce absolute scope 3 GHG
emissions from purchased goods and services, capital goods, fuel and energy related activities,
upstream transportation and distribution, waste generated in operations, business travel, employee
commuting and upstream leased assets 50.4% by 2032 from a 2021 base year.

Long-Term Targets:Computacenter PLC commits to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 90% by 2040 froma 2019 base year. Computacenter PLC commits to reduce absolute scope 3 GHG emissions 90%by 2040 from a 2021 base year.
Overall Net Zero Target: Computacenter PLC commits to reach net-zero GHG
emissions across the value chain by 2040.

Greenhouse Gas Reduction Projects
The following environmental management measures and projects have been completed or
implemented since the 2019 baseline:

Environmental Management Measures:•Our Environmental Policy and Management System are compliant with ISO14001 and arereviewed annually in accordance with this standard•

Computacenter was awarded an A- rating in the 2023 CDP Climate Change Questionnaire

Energy Consumption and Self-Generation•

In 2018 a 13,000m2 photovoltaic system was conceptualised for the roof of our Integration
Centre at our Headquarters in Hatfield. In 2019 the planned installation went ahead, withmore than 6,300 solar panels installed. We believe this to have been the largest rooftop
installation in the UK in 2020. The solar panels have the capacity to generate more than
1.5m kWh of electricity.

•

Photovoltaic solar panel installations in Hatfield (UK), Kerpen (Germany), Moordrecht(Netherlands) and Livermore (USA) produced more than 2.5m kWh renewable energy in2023.

•In addition to producing our own electricity from renewable sources, our UK business,among other geographies, operates on 100% renewable electricity procured through arenewable electricity contract. Our green energy purchases mean that at the end of 2023,
over 75% of the Group’s electricity usage was from renewable sources.

Company Fleet and Business Travel•

To reduce emissions from means of travel we have introduced a policy that restricts
emissions from fleet vehicles to 110g CO2 per vehicle. We are investing in technologies toallow greater use of existing communication platforms to reduce unnecessary businesstravel, with the target of reducing business travel emissions by up to 35% by 2025 comparedto 2019.

•We have introduced an internal price on carbon and created a levy on business travel.
Flights and hotel stays each attract an additional charge of £150 per tCO2e. This internalcarbon tax is known as the Travel Levy and contributes towards purchasing Gold Standard
offsets to achieve and maintain Carbon Neutral status and investments in environmentalinitiatives.

Infrastructure and Technology:•Our offices and other buildings have undergone upgrades to improve energy efficiency. We
specify LED light bulbs whenever replacements are needed and at our Circular Services
division, lighting has been replaced with LEDs which is expected to reduce annual electricity
consumption by around 60%.

•As IT equipment in our offices needs replacing, we are rolling out display screens that powerusers’ laptops and other devices, saving 50 to 60 per cent of the power drawn using
separate chargers.

•We are investing in ‘smart-lighting’ technologies, reducing the amount of time our offices andbuildings are lit.

•At our Manchester Datacentre, an air conditioning unit refresh was completed in 2020 toreplace existing units with energy efficient equipment, leading to reductions in energy
consumption of 14% in 2021.

In the future we plan to implement further measures. These may include:•A transition to a fully electric fleet in line with government ambition•

Additional photovoltaic installations at more sites in the UK and beyond, targeting sites withhigh electricity consumption to maximise efficiency•Collaboration with key suppliers and customers to decarbonise our value chain.
