These targets all relate to Mitie’s Social Value Framework, and the focus areas highlighted within the following pillars of Environment, People, Community, Responsible Supply Chain and Innovation. View our SVRB Targets As can be seen on the target table a new baseline has been calculated for our CO2 emissions. This is due to the acquisition of Interserve and therefore buildings, fleet, and employees. This new baseline figure is for FY19/20, and was calculated using the following figures, relating to tonnes of CO2: 20,567+2,897=23,584Mitie Scope 1 and 2(Mitie Scope 3 excluding fleet upstream) ESG Dashboard Having established stretching social value targets for Mitie Group, it was crucial to see that they were easily tracked and reported. The nature of social value means performance data comes from a wide range of systems and locations across all parts of the business. By exporting data from various systems and linking them to Power BI: a business analytics programme which provides an interactive visualisation of data, allowing end users to create their own reports and dashboards, a solution was created, our ESG dashboard. This gives a top-level overview of Mitie’s monthly performance against targets. It also allows users to drill down into target areas for each of the organisation’s social value pillars. Current performance can be tracked, gaps understood, and necessary improvements flagged. While users can already evaluate performance against target areas at group level, development is underway to provide visibility of how each business area is performing against targets, as well as Social Value Model PPN06/20 and the National TOMs – Themes, Outcomes and Measures for measuring social value. Mitie continuously reviews operations, measuring processes and results to ensure we are performing as well as possible across all aspects of Environment, Social and Governance (ESG). This focus on all aspects of sustainability, together with our approach to innovation and new ways of operating saw Mitie rated the number two facilities management company globally, based on the Sustainalytics ESG risk rating report. Download our ESG Dashboard Carbon In FY 20/21, Mitie produced 20,597tCO2 Scope 1 and 2 (Location based) and 20,289tCO2 Scope 1 and 2 (Market based). These results mean we have reduced our emissions by 33.4%, going off market-based figures, since the FY19/20 baseline year. Following the acquisition of Interserve, we then used FY19/20 as our new baseline year for our Plan Zero initiative to be net zero carbon by 2025. We have now gone further, and committed to a science-based target of net-zero supply chain (Scope 3) emissions by 2035. We exceeded our FY20/21 milestone target of 25,230tCO2e by 22.5%, with the 20,597tCO2e stated above (location-based). Mitie acquired Interserve in December 2020, and therefore welcomed additional employees, buildings, and vehicles. Our net-zero Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2025 target has not changed, and we continue to strive to achieve this ambitious goal. Mitie work on our client sites, therefore our significant energy use (92%) comes from diesel fuel from our >6700 strong vehicle fleet. We report Scope 3 emissions within the ‘Mitie Group Environmental Data’ section below. Download Mitie's Carbon Reduction Plans Clean sources of energy Mitie has the largest pure electric vehicle (EV) fleet in the UK, with over 2217 currently on the road. This transition to a zero-emissions fleet aligns to our signatory to EV100, The Climate Group’s initiative to commit organisations to transitioning to an EV fleet by 2030. The Mercedes e-Vito electric van is part of Mitie’s fleet, supporting the Plan Zero Urban Landscaping service. This EV has custom-fitted roof solar panels to generate renewable energy, which charges battery-powered landscaping equipment. We have also now launched the UK’s first electric gritter, Gritter Thunberg, designed to reduce emissions in built up areas. Together with Mina, we have enabled direct payment for EV charging at home. Our next steps are recommending 100% renewable tariffs for Mitie drivers, increasing the uptake to power not only EVs, but homes too. Mitie purchases 100% of power backed by Renewable Energy Guarantee of Origin (REGO), for Mitie-controlled offices, achieving RE100, the Climate Group’s initiative 25 years early. Energy efficiency Mitie’s estate has been benchmarked and audited. Energy optimisation methods have been implemented, identifying an annual carbon saving of 300 tonnes, including air-source heat pumps. electric air-conditioning systems, and timing schedules. Transitioning to these low-carbon alternatives will tighten our grip on Mitie’s energy consumption and decarbonise our heating systems. Mitie’s estate is undergoing green CAPEX projects, including installing LED lighting systems. Over 1800 electric vehicle charge points have been installed across both the Mitie estate and client sites, supporting transitions to an electric vehicle fleet. We have committed to doubling our energy productivity, through The Climate Group’s EP100 initiative, whilst also extending Mitie Energy’s ISO50001 Energy Management Standard through the Group. To date, we have saved our customers over 353,000 tonnes of carbon. Over the course of three years, Mitie has helped our telecommunications customer save over 100GWh and £10m in energy costs, equivalent to 25,000 tonnes of CO2. Pace of change in reducing emissions Our unique position of attaining in-house sustainability experts allows Mitie to become a carbon-reducing machine, accelerating not only our journey to net-zero, but our clients too. Mitie’s new baseline emissions are 38,037 tCO2e in FY19/20. Our next milestone target to achieve is 20,300 tCO2e in FY22/22, and to be net-zero in our Scope 1 and 2 emissions by FY24/25. This will largely be achieved through our EV transition, which is accelerating at an exponential rate.

Carbon Intensity Greenhouse Gas (‘GHG’) Emissions as detailed in the 2020/21 Annual Report. At Mitie, we see the climate emergency as a business-critical issue that needs to be addressed within our operations. In 2019, we achieved our goal to reduce our carbon footprint (scope 1&2) intensity by 35%; and the following year we launched our industry-leading ‘Plan Zero’ commitment to set a clear pathway on how we will decarbonise our business and reach net zero Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2025. We have now gone further, and committed to a science-based target of net-zero supply chain (Scope 3) emissions by 2035. Plan Zero focusses on three key areas; Eliminate carbon emissions from power and transport, Eradicate non-sustainable waste Enhance inefficient buildings to meet the highest environmental standards. Due to the acquisition of Interserve, 2019/20 is our new baseline year to compare future emissions against. Carbon Intensity Trend We have achieved year-on-year reductions in our carbon intensity trend. Our FY21/22 emissions ratio has decreased by 41% from FY20/21 to 5.28 tCO2e/£m Revenue (Scope 1&2). Our effort to reduce our carbon emissions focuses on reducing the impact of our fleet which contributes to 92% of our total scope 1 and 2 footprint; we have exceeded our target to run 30% percent of our fleet using electric vehicles by the end of 21/22 and are on track to transition 100% by the end of 2025. We are amidst a fleet transformation project to standardise our current vehicles with newer more efficient vehicles, part of this project has been to ensure that all commercial vehicles are installed with speed limiters and telematics to improve driver behaviour.
