Carbon and Energy Efficiency Policy

Introducing

Climate change is the biggest single issue impacting businesses today. Its effects are felt globally and
within our communities. Our commitment to addressing our impacts on Climate Change is rooted in our BCorp certification, signifying our dedication to meeting the highest standards in environmental
performance, transparency and accountability. As a group, we are creating an integrated approach to
addressing our climate impacts, recognizing this as both a challenge and a market opportunity. We
acknowledge we should be held accountable by governments, investors, employees, and customers to
meet international agreements and national regulations aimed at reducing our climate impact. At SIS
Pitches we see addressing our business’s climate impacts as essential for maintaining our license to
operate.

Scope

This policy applies to all manufacturing, warehousing, and office sites within the SIS Pitches Group. It
addresses our direct emissions (Scope 1) and indirect emissions from imported energy consumed onsite (Scope 2). We are committed to understanding the carbon embedded in our products and services (Scope 3) by end of 2025.

Our Carbon Commitments

• Achieve carbon neutrality for Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2025.
• Reduce CO2e emissions by 50% by 2030 against our 2024 baseline, aligning with the UK’s
2035 and 2050 NetZero targets and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 13 –
Climate Action.
• By 2028, ensure all power is supplied from sustainable energy sources, markets permitting. We
will transition away from carbon-intensive fuels like LPG and diesel. Once our teams have done
all they can in a given year and where renewable energy cannot be sourced, we will seek
certified carbon offsetting opportunities.
• We will Increase transparency in our carbon reporting and will start reporting “The Energy We
Useˮ and “The Energy Saved For Our Customers.” and when practical,” “The Energy Embedded
in Our Products,”
• Transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources.
• Actively reduce reliance on potable water supplies, enhance rainwater harvesting, and increase
water recycling potential across our operations, products and services.

Our Energy Efficiency Commitments

We will develop programmes to:
• Seek innovative solutions to decarbonise our processes and optimise our energy and water
efficiency for both our customers and ourselves.
• Ensure our products and services exceed our customers drive towards a low carbon future.
• Invest in energy efficiency measures, including on site generation and storage, and LED lighting
solutions, electric vehicles, and charging infrastructure.
• To support water-saving technologies such as low-flow fixtures, rainwater harvesting, and
greywater recycling systems, especially in water stressed areas, where we are maintaining
sports fields for our customers and at our own turf farms.
• Realise the benefits of advanced air and water flow systems that adjust based on the demands
of both the pitch and climate condition to extend play, reducing energy consumption.
• Replace older equipment with more energy-efficient solutions, realising the value from
innovations in energy management, including the “Internet of Thingsˮ base technologies.
• Remove the need for, or optimize air compression, space heating, and cooling systems at all our
facilities.
• Develop Efficient Scheduling, to Optimise the scheduling of maintenance to ensure minimal
energy and water wastage.
• Conduct Energy Audits identify inefficiencies and areas for continuous improvement.

Stakeholder Engagement

We commit to maintaining open, constructive dialogue with stakeholders, including suppliers, customers, investors and communities. This approach ensures we adapt to changing needs and expectations, reflecting our strategic goals. As global and regional climate strategies evolve, we will provide training and support to our teams and customers to promote transparency and shared understanding and commitment, we will innovate new solutions and drive more sustainable, carbon efficient solutions designed to exceed our stakeholdersʼ expectations.

topics. Specific topics are led by an Executive Committee “Theme Champion,ˮ with action executed within the appropriate divisional and functional teams. Oversight and support are provided by the Group Sustainability Manager. A biannual sustainability steering group will review progress and provide
management control.
