). Energy reported excludes exports of energy to third parties. 1. Includes our equity share of renewable energy generated and consumed. 2. Contracted renewable electricity is split into energy where we have purchased and surrender Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs), and contracts where we have the unique rights to the energy attributes. 3. Grid electricity includes all grid consumed electricity (grids contain a mixture of renewable and non-renewable energy sources). Energy consumed from grid electricity purchased was 21%. 4. Other renewable energy includes stationary fuels, heat, anodes and reductants. Renewable energy consumed as per the IFRS S2 Climate Related Disclosures guidance includes renewable energy the entity purchased under PPAs with RECs or GOs surrendered or cancelled, and renewable energy consumed from biomass based fuels. The renewable energy % under this definition is 5%. Unlike the GHG Protocol, this guidance does not recognise the following as renewable energy: 1) renewable energy contracts where unique energy attributes are contracted without a certificate or 2) where renewable electricity such as our hydro power generation assets supply our sites as it must be supplied specifically with RECs and GOs. Scope 3 GHG emissions – equity basis

See pages 58 - 62 for detail on progress made against our Scope 3 targets and objectives and our main actions for 2025. Scope 3 emissions are prepared on an equity basis, taking into account our economic interest in all managed and non-managed operations. Scope 3 emissions are indirect greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions generated as a result of activities undertaken across the value chain. Scope 3 emissions are divided into 15 categories, covering activities both upstream and downstream of our operations. Of these categories, Category 10 – Processing of sold products – accounts for about 94% of the identified emissions across
