As part of our commitment to net zero by 2045 and setting a science based interim carbon reduction target, we are currently in the process of performing a Scope 3 screening review to identify the most material Scope 3 emissions categories. We will then develop reporting methodologies for the most material Scope 3 categories and intend to start reporting our Scope 3 emissions from 2023. 3 Our Social Value Calculator was updated and relaunched during the second half of FY21. It captures social value outcomes across six key measures which are then multiplied by the proxy values in the national TOMS framework to give an estimate of total social value delivered.
