GHG Emissions Disclaimer
This report includes Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions calculated in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Accounting
and Reporting Standard. Scope 1 emissions reflect direct emissions from firm-owned or controlled sources. Scope 2 emissions reflect indirect emissions from the
generation of purchased energy such as electricity and other sources and are reported using a location-based approach.
Where direct consumption data was unavailable for a given reporting period, we applied reasonable estimation methodologies based on industry best practices
and available operational information, such as proportional office square footage. Location-based emissions factors were used to calculate Scope 2 emissions,
reflecting average grid intensity by geography in line with standard market practice.
This GHG disclosure is based on data available as of the date of this report. We expect to refine and enhance our emissions reporting over time as internal data
collection processes evolve, and we gain access to more granular consumption data across regions.
All GHG figures are subject to inherent limitations, including data availability, estimation techniques, and evolving reporting standards. While we have made
reasonable efforts designed to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the information presented, our approach may be refined in future reporting cycles as
methodologies are updated and data quality improves. This disclosure is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute a guarantee or warranty
of environmental performance.
