Excluded Scope 3 emissions
As Gartner, Inc., together with its affiliates, is a professional services firm which does not sell any
products that may require transportation, storage or retail, we have determined that “Category 9:
Downstream transportation and distribution” is not applicable to our emissions footprint. Additionally,“Category 4: Upstream transportation and distribution” has been deemed not applicable to Gartner,Inc. because courier and upstream freight fees are included in “Category 1: Purchased goods andservices” and are therefore incorporated in Category 1 as accepted by the Greenhouse Gas
Protocol. Category 1 is calculated at the Gartner, Inc. level following the hybrid method, using bothactivity and spend data. We do not calculate and report this data at the subsidiary level.

Emissions reduction targets
In 2023, Gartner, Inc., together with its affiliates, took a significant step toward our net-zerocommitment through setting near-term science-based targets (shown below), which have been
approved by SBTi as in line with a 1.5 C trajectory.

strategy, policy, governance, programs, and initiatives, please review our Corporate Responsibility
Report located on our website at www.Gartner.com.
● In 2023, Gartner U.K. Limited reduced its physical footprint within the Tamesis office which
improved energy efficiency performance; closing off three floors within the building torationalize workspaces. This included deactivating unused office systems, other than thoserequired for statutory maintenance, and the turnover of mechanical and electrical systems.
● Gartner U.K. Limited has continued its commitment to purchasing 100% renewable electricity
at Gartner U.K. Limited’s registered office and EMEA headquarters in Egham, U.K.
Additionally, in 2023, the London office began purchasing 100% renewable electricity.
● At the Gartner, Inc. level, we are increasing the efficiency of our offices by investing in LED
lighting, installing motion sensors to turn lights on and off, and controlling lights and HVAC
systems through cloud-based building management systems. Gartner U.K. Limited offices
have all LED lighting.
● Gartner, Inc. leases a number of offices that adhere to standards set by internationallyrecognized sustainability ratings and certification systems. Our Egham and London offices
are BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method)
certified.
● Gartner U.K. Limited has integrated Building Management Systems (BMS) to optimize energyuse, indoor air quality monitoring, and more.
● Waste management utilizes waste-to-energy facilities for end disposal, and all electronic
waste is recycled or reused.
● Awareness initiatives at the local level led by the associate-driven Green Team have also
been implemented to engage associates around sustainability events, such as Global
Recycling Day, Biodiversity Day, and Car Free Day.
● Gartner, Inc. operates predominantly as a digital business and leverages virtual meeting
technology as the primary format for meeting with prospects, clients and colleagues. To help
ensure that travel is appropriately managed, Gartner, Inc. requires approval for air (whichconstitutes over 90% of our business travel emissions), hotel or car bookings, and it clearlycommunicates travel budgets to each business unit, down to the frontline managers
responsible for approving travel. In 2023, Gartner, Inc. began tracking the sustainability ofhotel vendors through our procurement process, specifically monitoring whether hotels haveestablished emissions reductions targets.

when commuting to an office is needed or desired. Gartner, Inc. considers public transport
connectivity as a key component when selecting new office space, and we work withlandlords to install bicycle racks and electric vehicle chargers.
● Gartner, Inc. prepares a carbon footprint for the group and has obtained external assurance
by an independent third party for our greenhouse gas emissions data for 2019 (our baseyear), 2022 and 2023. Additionally, Gartner, Inc. responds to the CDP Questionnaire on anannual basis and also obtains primary emissions data from suppliers through the CDP Supply
Chain engagement program. In 2023, Gartner, Inc. engaged 67% of suppliers by spend todisclose their emissions attributable to servicing Gartner, Inc. through this engagement
program.
