Scope 1 and 2 Emissions, tCO2-e/employee (12.00%) AUB operates a 4/1 work from home program for our North Sydney head office, where employees of AUB Group, our agencies and two brokerages work from home four days a week. This has allowed our staff greater flexibility and control over their working hours and reduced our office space needs. We have sub-let or surrendered a number of offices. We continue to monitor our emissions across the AUB Group and explore initiatives to reduce them. Scope 3 emissions and carbon offsets AUB head office entities and Tysers use carbon offsetting programs, offsetting 100% of scope 3 emissions from business flights. Tysers began carbon offsestting in July 2022 and AUB head office entities from October 2022. As this is the first year of our carbon offsetting programs, no prior period comparatives are applicable. 0.44 0.50
