Liberty Tire Recycling | 2022 Environmental, Social & Governance Report 50 GRI CONTENT INDEX 305-2 Energy indirect (Scope 2) GHG emissions Accelerating Environmental Stewardship (p. 21-28)) 2022 is used as the base year for emissions as it was the first year that LTR was able to sufficiently gather data for Scope 2 emissions. Bridge House Advisors, a third party consultant to Liberty Tire, prepared the GHG calculations for Scope 2. LTR utilizes a cloud-based solution that provides utility bill management services to track electricity consumption. EPA Emission Factors for GHG Inventories 2023 and IPCC 4th Assessment Report findings were used through operational control practices to compile data. 2022 Scope 2 Emissions: 46,224 MT CO2-e Omission Statement: LTR does not calculate Market-based emissions. No recalculations of base year emissions have occurred. Reason for Omission: Not applicable 305-3 Other indirect (Scope 3) GHG emissions Accelerating Environmental Stewardship (p. 21-28) 2022 is used as the base year for emissions as it was the first year that Liberty Tire was able to sufficiently gather data for partial Scope 3 emissions. Bridge House Advisors, a third party consultant to Liberty Tire, prepared the GHG calculations for Scope 3. Liberty Tire utilizes a cloud-based solution that provides utility bill management services to track electricity consumption. Activity-based data collection was used for Categories 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, and 12. Spend-based methodology was used for Categories 1 and 2. And a combination of spend and activity-based methodolgies for Category 6. The company reports on categories 1 - 12 of Scope 3 emissions, excluding Category 8 (Upstream Leased Assets). U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s - Emission Factors for GHG Inventories - 2023; IPCC Fourth Assessment Report (AR6) - 2021; Greenhouse Gas Protocol’s Scope 3 Evaluator (Quantis); EPA’s WARM Model Version 15 (November 2020 update) were all used to convert and compile data. 2022 Scope 3 Emissions: 1,910,176 MT CO2-e Omission Statement: Liberty Tire does not calculate Market-based emissions. No recalculations of base year emissions have occurred. Reason for Omission: Not applicable 305-5 Reduction of GHG emissions Accelerating Environmental Stewardship (p. 21-28) Omission Statement: Liberty Tire has not yet begun tracking Scope 1, 2, or 3 emission reductions at this time. Reason for Omission: Information unavailable/incomplete 305-7 Nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur oxides (SOx), and other significant air emissions Accelerating Environmental Stewardship (p. 23) NOx: 293 MT SOx: 84 MT Emission factors were sourced using EPA standards. US EPA’s Compilation of Air Pollutant Emissions Factors (AP-42); Bureau of Transportation Statistics - US Avg Vehicle Emission Rates per Vehicle by Vehicle Type using Gasoline and Diesel. Utilized AP-42 and BTS standard emission factors coupled with fuel consumption data gathered from fuel cards, fuel invoices, and utility bills. Omission Statement: Liberty Tire does not produce a material amount of persistent organic pollutants (POPs), volatile organic pollutants (VOPs), hazardous air pollutants (HOPs), or other air emissions identified in relevant regulations. Reason for Omission: Not applicable Omission Statement: Particulate Matter (PM) permit obligations require visual inspection only. Reason for Omission: Information unavailable/incomplete GRI 306: Waste 2020
