3. ENVIRONMENT 2022, 2023 and 2024 emissions by scope (in ktCO2e) (1) Gross GHG emissions (in ktCO2e) Scope 1 Scope 2 (locationbased) Scope 2 (marketbased) Scope 3 Total (location- based) Total (marketbased) 2022 (2) 323 82 72 4,282 4,686 4,677 2023 268(3) 85 71 3,997 4,350 4,336 2024 294 84 83 4,420 4,798 4,796 2024 compared to 2023 +10% -1% +17% +11 % +10 % +11 % The 10% increase in scope 1 emissions between 2023 and 2024 is mainly due to increased activity in airfreight (+40 ktCO2e), although this is lower than in 2022 (-12 ktCO2e), balancing out reductions in fuel and heating consumption. As regards fuels, the European road transport entities (European Road Network and Distribution & Express) intensifi ed their efforts to decarbonize operations in 2024, resulting in a reduction in scope 1 emissions of almost 7.5% on their perimeter, i.e. just over 10,000 tCO2e lower compared with 2023. Diesel consumption has fallen by 4 million liters. At the same time, consumption of B100 biodiesel and HVO has doubled, reaching almost 2 million liters in 2024. Average fuel consumption fell by 0.34 l/100 km over the period. The fl eet of electric trucks has doubled and its use has intensifi ed, with overall distances covered multiplied by 3.6 compared with 2023. Conversely, total kilometers traveled fell by 3%. In the Americas, more accurate accounting has resulted in lower fuel and heating consumption. Data that had been estimated for the closing months of 2023 has been adjusted upwards to refl ect invoiced consumption. The slight decrease in location-based scope 2 emissions is explained by substantial gains in energy effi ciency on many of the Group’s sites, unfortunately offset by a signifi cant increase in power usage in the Americas, identifi ed thanks to more accurate reporting. The increase in market-based scope 2 emissions refl ects lower purchases of renewable electricity in the United States in 2024 compared to the previous year. Scope 3 emissions have risen by 11%, with different growth trends depending on the source. Emissions from subcontracted transport grew mainly owing to a shift in demand, notably in favor of air transport to the detriment of sea transport, primarily due to traffi c disruptions in the Red Sea. Meanwhile, GHG emissions from road transport fell, with improvements in road and rail GHG emissions per tonne-kilometer of 4% and 42% respectively. Fossil fuel sales were higher in 2024 than in previous years. Although the Group has increased the sale of sustainable marine and aviation fuels (SMF and SAF) and the purchase of biogas for road vehicles, it has not included the associated reductions in its carbon footprint, in compliance with GHG Protocol guidelines. For reference, the sale of sustainable marine and aviation fuels in 2024 would have reduced emissions by 13,253 tCO2e in comparison with fossil fuels and the purchase of biogas would have reduced emissions by 2,049 tCO2e. Breakdown of scopes 1, 2 and 3 emissions in 2024 by activity (%) TOTAL 2024 4,796 ktCO2e 35% Road transport 30% Air transport 7% Emissions related to the use of sold products 10% Others (waste generated, business travel, purchases, commuting, capital goods) 2% Indirect emissions related to energy 12% Sea transport 3% Buildings 1% River and rail transport (1) Most of the scope 1+2 energy data for Need It Now Delivers is estimated from the built surface areas of the sites. The 2022 and 2023 fuel data is estimated, while the 2024 data has been calculated from expenditure in U.S. dollars. (2) Excludes trans-o-flex. (3) Heating gas at some Contract Logistics sites in the United States that had been estimated in 2023 has now been corrected on the basis of invoiced consumption. The impact is an additional 4,880 tCO2e, which is 2% of the new total for scope 1. 48 - 2024 ACTIVITY AND SUSTAINABILITY REPORT
