As part of the Leonardo group of companies, and tenants of the Leonardo UK site at Capability Green, our efforts at Telespazio UK support those of the wider Leonardo Group and are centred on the increasingly efficient use of natural resources and a reduction in the impact of our activities, together with promotion of sustainable behaviours of our people.

Introduction

Guided by the Leonardo Group and its policies, Telespazio UK have been pursuing a path of sustainability that integrates sustainability targets into our business strategy.

Telespazio UK benefits from Leonardo UK activities to monitor the energy consumption and carbon emission footprint of all UK sites, including its subsidiaries activities closely, and follows a continuous process of incorporating innovative solutions to reduce our environmental impact.

Since 2016 Telespazio UK has benefited from the green energy that Leonardo has procured 100% through renewable energy sources.

Commitment to achieving Net Zero

Telespazio UK, as part of the Leonardo Group, is committed to achieving Net Zero by 2030 for Scope 1 and 2 emissions and by 2050 across our value chain.

• Since the Leonardo UK baselining in 2018, the carbon emission reduction achieved by completed initiatives equates to a 68% reduction in tCO2e.

In order to continue our progress towards reducing our environmental impact, the following emissions reduction targets have been set:

• Reduce carbon emissions by 42% by 2030..

Protecting our planet is the responsibility of us all, therefore the long-term aspirations of Telespazio UK continue to support this goal:

• Achieving Net Zero by 2030 for Scope 1 and 2 emissions and by 2050 across our value chain.

CARBON REDUCTION INITIATIVES COMPLETED

As part of Leonardo’s estate, Telespazio UK had benefitted from the following environmental management measures and projects that have been completed or implemented since the baseline year of 2018 and Telespazio UK's 2023 baseline. These significant investments have improved efficiencies and have also contributed to the reduction of our greenhouse gas emissions.

1. Environmental Management System
Telespazio UK has been certified to ISO 14001 standards for Environmental Management which shall support the continual improvement of our performance and analysis of environmental standards.

2. Offsetting of Business Flight
Telespazio UK has partnered with Treedom to offset flights for business travel with planting of trees based on emissions created by those flights. This is calculated monthly and yearly updates are provided to the company on the number of trees planted and tCO2e emissions offset under this initiative.

3. LED Lighting and Light-as-a-Service (LaaS)
Over the past few years, Leonardo UK and the facilities management partners have embarked on a massive programme to provide new, modern lighting at Group sites. A key component of this has been to replace traditional lighting solutions with the latest generation of LED lighting systems. This investment in LED lighting continued in 2023 across all of the UK sites, greatly improving efficiencies, with a commitment to transition to 100% LED using Lighting-as-a-Service (LaaS).

4. Heating Systems
Replacement of several gas heating systems with solutions that generate lower GHG emissions across various sites. Continued investment in a more efficient heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) infrastructure that uses lower Global Warming Potential (GWP) refrigerants.

5. Electricity
Leonardo Luton, and by association Telespazio UK, electricity usage is now 100% covered by Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin certificates, with plans to extend coverage to the entire Leonardo estate.

6. Electric vehicle charging network
As our employees move to more hybrid and pure electric vehicle usage, Leonardo UK initiated the installation of charging points across the Group’s sites to encourage more zero emissions travel. These facilities are also available to all staff and visitors by prior arrangement. Further expansion of charge points is underway as demand for hybrid and electric vehicles grows.

CARBON REDUCTION INITIATIVES PLANNED

As we do not have control over our office location, Telespazio UK will work with Leonardo UK and key clients to support their Carbon Reduction initiatives. Moving forward both Telespazio UK and Leonardo UK have an ambitious pipeline of activity to further accelerate the carbon reduction performance. We will support Leonardo UK to implement their further measures to reduce our carbon footprint overall including the following:

1. Local energy generation
Leonardo UK is pursuing a path to self-generation through investment in Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), enabling them to produce 25% of their own energy by 2030. As a tenant of Leonardo UK, Telespazio UK will support this ambition.

2. Electric vehicle roll-out
In addition to the increased expansion of our charging points network, we will encourage our people to move to hybrid and pure electric vehicles through the employee salary sacrifice scheme for low emissions vehicles. This is in addition to Telespazio UK making all executive cars 100% electric by 2030.

3. Waste and Water improvements
All Leonardo UK sites continue to drive a programme of waste reduction, with Leonardo setting a target to reduce waste production by 15% by 2030. In the UK, Leonardo sites are working to reduce waste, material and water consumption in line with Group targets. Additionally, innovative waste reduction and circularity projects are being developed to further reduce waste and material use.

4. Offsetting of all Business Travel
Where business travel cannot be avoided, we are committed to completely offsetting the CO2 emissions from flights, train, car and motorbikes used. As mentioned previously, we partnered with Treedom to initiate this back in 2023 to offset flights but this will now aim to offset all business travel.

CARBON REDUCTION INITIATIVES FOR THE FUTURE

In the future, we hope to support the implementation of a range of further measures. The current decarbonisation plan sets out a phased approach to future carbon reduction and includes the following measures:

1. Estate Portfolio Strategy
Through the Leonardo UK Facilities Forum, we have successfully worked with our catering suppliers to remove single use plastics from our canteens and vending machines and we intend to continue this process throughout the supply chain wherever possible.

2. Travel
Telespazio UK is committed to reducing the amount of travel employees take to complete their daily and project activities. We are in the process of revising our travel procedures to deliver better management of employee travel, to ensure that digital meetings are prioritised and that lower carbon transport alternatives are selected wherever possible to reduce carbon emissions associated with business travel.

3. Behavioural Change Initiatives
Telespazio UK commits to rolling out a communication campaign open to all staff, which targets actions that individuals can take to help drive a continual review and reduction in our corporate carbon footprint in relation to things like waste, energy use and business travel. Employees will also be supported to look at their own personal carbon footprint and changes that they can make.

4. Digital Infrastructure
Telespazio UK commits to maximising its digital capability to fully support the flexible working policy, thus enabling seamless access to applications and systems from any remote location. In addition, this will further reduce the necessity to travel to specific face-to-face meetings, rather conducting them via digital platforms.
