Carbon Reduction Plan - Burges Salmon LLP - Summer 2024

Carbon

Carbon Reduction Plan 2024 transportation and distribution of products sold between our operations and the end consumer, including storage (in vehicles and facilities not owned or controlled by the reporting company) and are excluded from our scope 3 emissions. As our ‘product’ is legal advice which does not require transportation, distribution or storage, this category is not relevant to our activities. Total Scope 3 Emissions 701 Total Emissions 1376 (location-based methodology) 873 (market-based methodology using 100% renewable electricity) Emissions reduction targets In order to continue our progress to achieving Net Zero, we have adopted the following carbon reduction targets. In 2020, Burges Salmon LLP made a commitment to be Net Zero by 2026 in respect of scope 1 and 2 emissions and Business Travel emissions from scope 3, to be achieved by year-on-year reductions in energy use and using credible offsetting as a last resort. At the date of this report, we have not yet offset the relevant 2023 emissions, however we are working with our current supplier to do so. In 2021, in recognition that all scope 3 emissions represent a significant majority of our overall emissions, we developed Science Based Targets (SBTs). Working with external consultants (Carbon Intelligence) we developed SBTs in line with a 1.5°C trajectory. The work included gaining insight into our Scope 3 emissions which includes all material elements as informed by the GHG Protocols and SBTi methodology. Our SBTs are to reduce total emissions by 50% by 2030 from a 2019 baseline. Our SBTs were validated by the Science Based Targets Initiative in July 2022. We project that carbon emissions (from the selected categories included in this report) will decrease over the next five years from 1138 tCO2e to 672 tCO2e by 2028. This is a reduction of 41%. Progress against these targets can be seen in the graph below.

Carbon Reduction Plan 2024 Completed Carbon Reduction Initiatives The following environmental management measures and projects have been completed or implemented since the 2019 baseline. Some measures and projects are ongoing. The carbon emission reduction achieved by these schemes equate to 1090 tCO2e, a 44.2%ge reduction against the 2019 baseline and the measures will be in effect when performing the contract. We pursue best practice approaches to environmental management and reduction of energy usage and related emissions. This includes: • Holding certification to ISO 14001 since 2013 • All of our offices being BREEAM rated ‘excellent’ • Switching to renewable energy tariffs for electricity and continuing to purchase electricity through 100% renewable tariffs • Investing in low-energy and smart technology such as movement-sensor LED lighting • Recruitment of a new Procurement Manager to engage with our supply chain and drive better carbon reporting and reductions in relation to Scope 3 purchase of goods and services emissions • Promoting sustainable travel options with our people, both for commuting and business travel • Investing in remote working technology and agile workspaces • Adopting hybrid-working for our people between home and office • Maintaining the reduction in paper usage and printing volumes that we achieved during Covid • Focusing on waste reduction, particularly in our catering provision – we are now single use plastic free across all of our sites • Collaborating with a range of relevant external bodies and forums 5 Classification: Confidential
