Not included in this calculation exercise (data readiness too low and not fully operational yet) 3rd party operated and/or controlled, will be included in further carbon footprint exercises X X X In the reporting period, our greenhouse gas emissions footprint is contributed to by 66% Scope 1 emissions and 34% Scope 2 emissions. While we are taking initiatives to ensure emissions reduction across our operations, Scope 1 i.e., fuel usage makes up most of our GHG footprint, making it imperative for us to explore pathways of reduction through cleaner energy sources, biomass, among others. 3rd party industries operating in the industrial zones Dry Port (ICD) Truck Park Warehouse + Workshops Model Farms Call Centers Log Park Forest Concessions Akiba (3 showrooms) Nature Panels Benin Organic-Benin Agri Togo Organics Togo Soya Methodology for GHG Emission Accounting To account for our emissions, we have considered the Scope 1 & 2 emissions of the assets controlled by Arise IIP.
