 calculate our GHG emissions follows the &#8216;Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG): A Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard (Revised Edition)&#8217;, defined by the World Resources Institute/World Business Council for Sustainable Development. We have adopted the operational control approach on reporting boundaries. 3 We continuously review and update our performance data based on updated GHG emission factor, improvements in data quality and updates to estimates previously applied. For 2024, we have applied the latest emissions factors as of 31 December 2024. All location- and market-based figures are gross and do not include netted figures from carbon credits. 4 For our FY2024 emissions portfolio we have re-categorised a portion of our Scope 2 emissions to Scope 3 Category 8 (Upstream Leased Assets) as these emissions have been identified as outside of our operational control. This has resulted in minor updates to FY2023 Scope 2 location-based GHG emissions (a change from 87,197 tCO2e to 86,543 tCO2e). 5 Assurance findings on our 2018 supply chain baseline identified certain data previously excluded from the initial data set. In addition to this, in 2024 the UK Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) revised their GHG emissions conversion factors, which Barclays uses to calculate spend-based supply chain emissions. Our supply chain baseline and 2023 emissions have therefore been recalculated to reflect both points, resulting in an aggregate increase in our 2018 supply chain baseline (from 765,634 tCO2e to 913,967 tCO2e) and increase in our 2023 supply chain emissions (from 552,367 tCO2e to 622,783 tCO2e). Our operational footprint data follows a reporting period of 1 October 2023 to 30 September 2024.
