*Since 2016, we procure renewable Guarantees of Origin for 100% of the electricity used by our network, buildings, infrastructure and, since 2023, by our electric vehicles.
**We report our Scope 2 emission market-based, see definition in Glossary

VodafoneZiggo calculates and issues annually the CO₂ emissions generated in its own operations (Scope 1 and 2) and across its value chain (Scope 3). The calculation methodology was developed in June 2022 and based on the Green House Gas protocol and complementary guidance. Founded on internal knowledge and data availability, we adopted a pragmatic and operational control approach prioritizing product-specific and activity-based calculation methodologies for VodafoneZiggo's main activities, namely providing fixed and mobile connectivity, entertainment services and business services to B2C and SoHo customers.

We are continuously improving our reporting of Scope 3 emissions. Due to availability of data, some activities such as servicing our B2B segment and a complete analysis of our capital goods (cat 3.2) are currently excluded. In the below table we provide insight in the calculation methodologies and coverage for the different categories included in Scope 3 emissions. In 2024, VodafoneZiggo will work with external sustainability and carbon accounting experts on further improving the data quality of reported Scope 3 emissions and on expanding the scope of our value chain CO₂ emission report to align with the latest SBTi criteria.
