 expense data is available. Scope 1 GHG emissions have reduced in FY2024 as we are using primary data to calculate Scope 1 fugitives for the UK compared to estimates in FY2023. 5 Scope 2 GHG emissions include our indirect GHG emissions from purchased electricity, purchased heat, cooling and steam. 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 operation 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). 6 Scope 3 category 1, 2 and 4 emissions are excluded as these emissions cannot be broken down by country. In 2024, we expanded our operational GHG emissions coverage to include an estimate of our global employee commute emissions (see footnote 7). As a result our operational emissions figures will show an increase year on year. 7 In 2024, we expanded our operational GHG emissions coverage to include an estimate of our global employee commute emissions. Our employee commute emissions accounting approach aligns to the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard guidance. Employee commute includes emissions from the transportation of employees between their homes and their worksites and those from teleworking (working from home). We estimate these emissions by using various data sources including survey data on Barclays employees' commuting habits. 8 Energy consumption data is captured through utility billing; meter reads or estimates. Principal measures we have undertaken in 2024 to improve energy efficiency include the following: &#8226; Right-sized our global real estate portfolio, therefore optimising our space and associated resources for our operational needs. &#8226; Expanded our energy optimisation programme from UK to global sites. The programme aims to reduce energy demand of existing infrastructure during periods of low or no occupancy and to increase energy efficiency during normal operating hours, contributing in 2024 to approximately 8.26 GWh in energy savings at our corporate offices and 0.33 GWh at our retail branches. Further information about our energy efficiency measures is available on page 32 of the Barclays PLC Annual Report 2024. 9 Intensity ratio calculations have been calculated using total accounted operational GHG emissions as reported in footnote 3. In 2024, we expanded our operational GHG emissions coverage to include an estimate of our global
