Our Footprint TOTAL GHG EMISSIONS PER £1M TURNOVER Intensity (tCO e / £1m turnover) 2 Over the 昀椀nancial year 2022-2023, the Azzurri Group not only experienced a robust recovery but also expanded its horizons by opening additional restaurants and expanding our brands’ retail offerings. Amidst this period of growth, 2022 349 we achieved a reduction in our carbon emissions, both in absolute terms and in intensity relative to our turnover. 2023 315 -10% REDUCTION Notably, our emissions intensity saw a signi昀椀cant 10% decline over the year, marking an important milestone in our journey towards sustainability. This achievement underscores our 290 300 310 320 330 340 350 360 capability to pursue growth while simultaneously reducing our environmental footprint, heralding a promising future where we can serve more consumers across the UK & Ireland with GHG EMISSIONS signi昀椀cantly lower emissions. 2022 2023 The reduction in our absolute emissions was primarily driven by strategic interventions within our supply chain. Scope 1 Scope 1 Despite the challenges of managing increasing emission tCO2e tCO2e factors linked to energy use, our concerted efforts to lower 5.2 5.3 energy consumption across our operations have borne fruit. Moreover, we are aggressively pursuing the integration of renewable energy sources into our electricity mix, with a 昀椀rm Scope 2 Scope 2 tCO2e tCO2e goal to transition to 100% renewable electricity by 2025. 6.6 7.0 Additionally, our commitment to sustainability is evident in the decarbonization of our restaurant kitchens. By adopting electricity-powered equipment, such as induction hobs and electric ovens in our new outlets, we are paving the way for a Scope 3 future that moves away from gas reliance. Scope 3 tCO2e tCO2e 68,863 70,553 The revision in reported total Scope 1 emissions from last year to this year re昀氀ects improved data accuracy and our commitment to transparent environmental reporting.
