† We engaged KPMG LLP to undertake independent limited assurance under ISAE (UK) 3000 and ISAE 3410 for selected energy consumption, e-waste and Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions which have been highlighted with a †. For more details of the scope of their work, please refer to their assurance opinion on our Group website, www.currysplc.com/sustainable-business/policies-disclosures
(1) All data has been restated to reflect the disposal of Kotsovolos on 10 April 2024. For Scope 3 emissions, we have removed Kotsovolos information across all categories and have also undertaken further revisions related to: increased availability of product information including wattage and product usage (Category 11); latest available emission factors (Categories 1 and 11) and improved our calculation model by reducing our use of a spend-based approach (Category 1). The removal of Kotsovolos reduced our total Scope 3 emissions by 29% (4,804,577 tonnes CO₂e) in 2023/24 and 19% (6,627,228 tonnes CO₂e) in 2019/20. Increased availability of product information, updated emissions factors and methodology refinements to Category 1 and 11 data reduced our Scope 3 emissions (excluding Kotsovolos) by 17% (2,052,876 tonnes CO₂e) in 2023/24 and 40% (11,330,956 tonnes CO₂ e in 2019/20. In total this resulted in a 41% reduction in emissions in 2023/24 and of 51% in 2019/20. The changes all constitute reasons for recalculation according to the GHG protocol; the restatements enable better comparability. More information on this restatement process can be found in our Basis of Reporting at https://www.currysplc.com/sustainable-business/policies-disclosures/
(2) Our Basis of Reporting, available on our Group website, www.currysplc.com, includes an assessment of the relevant Scope 3 categories.
(3) Overall floor area of the Group for 2024/25 is estimated to be 19,900,185 sq ft.
(4) The electricity consumption figure includes Scope 2 generation emissions but not Scope 3 transmission and distribution losses.
(5) Electricity and gas usage is based on supplier bills. Manual gap filling was conducted for a small proportion of electricity supplies using an average of the consumption year to date or previous months. This is because this report was due before some electricity and gas bills had been provided by the suppliers. This report also includes electricity consumption through supplies where the landlord procures the energy; some of this consumption has been estimated either based on the average energy consumption per floor area for site type or using last year’s data estimation.
(6) Refrigerant data processing methodology and exclusions: Where refrigerant top-ups are reported, we assume this covers leakage across the estate under that contractor’s responsibility to repair the leak and top-up the refrigerant, as such no estimation of leakage has been completed for units where no top-ups were carried out.
