CSL Limited Annual Report 2021/22 45 Energy and emissions The main sources of energy for CSL’s manufacturing facilities are electricity and natural gas. Steam and compressed air are imported onto the Marburg, Germany, facility as energy sources. Small amounts of diesel, gasoline and heating oil are also used as energy sources. For our CSL Plasma network of centres, electricity is the main source of energy. Combined, our manufacturing facilities and CSL Plasma’s centres contribute most of CSL’s energy consumption and therefore greenhouse gas emissions. Following the adoption of our sustainability strategy in 2021 we have undertaken detailed analysis of our current and projected footprint and the short and near-term decarbonisation levers available. As a result, we have set emissions reduction targets for 2030. Our target As part of the environment pillar of our strategy, we set out to develop targets based on validated data sets and robust baselines. As a result of this effort, and in alignment with Science Based Targets initiative, we commit to a 40% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030, using the average of CSL’s FY19-21 emissions as the basis. Further, we intend to ensure that suppliers who contribute 67% of our Scope 3 emissions have set Science Based Targets aligned Scope 1 and Scope 2 reductions by 2030. For CSL, this is an escalation of our approach to environmental responsibility, recognising and responding to the risk global warming poses to our patients, donors, communities and public health. 1 2 3 Scope Target* 40% reduction by 2030 on our baseline For 67% of emissions, applicable third parties have set science-based Scope 1 and 2 targets by 2030 Key abatement levers over the target timeframe • Increased energy efficiency • Best-in-class facility design for greenfield sites and new buildings • Switching fuels to less carbon intensive energy sources • A push towards more renewable power • Re-designing some of our manufacturing sites • Increased energy efficiencies • Revised procurement standards and award criteria • Supplier enablement through advocacy and education • Strategic partnerships to innovate and collaborate Definitions *Excludes Vifor Scope 1 controlled by the company, for example, emissions from combustion in owned or controlled boilers, furnaces, or vehicles. Scope 2 emissions are released as a result of one or more activities that generate electricity, heating, cooling or steam that is consumed by the facility, but that do not form part of the facility. Scope 3 emissions are the result of activities from assets not owned or controlled by the reporting organisation, but that the organisation indirectly affects in its value chain. Scope 3 emissions include all sources not within an organisation’s Scope 1 and 2 boundary.
