Standards Used We report in accordance with the GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard and the Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Standard . This report was prepared by a practitioner certified in ISO 14064-3:2018 to ensure high standards of accuracy and reliability. Organisational & Operational Boundary; Consolidation Approach GRC utilises the Operational Control approach. This means we account for 100% of emissions from all event activities and facilities where GRC has the authority to introduce and implement its operating policies. Base Year & Recalculation Policy 2024 is established as the Base Year for our carbon reporting. This provides the historical benchmark against which current and future reduction targets are tracked. Policy for Recalculation: Consistent with the GHG Protocol and ISO 14064 principles, we will retroactively recalculate the base year inventory if specific changes occur that would otherwise compromise the consistency and relevance of our year-on- year comparison. A recalculation is triggered if the cumulative impact of any of the following changes results in a significance threshold of +/- 5% change to the total base year emissions:
1. Structural Changes: Significant mergers, acquisitions, or divestments that transfer ownership or control of emissions sources (e.g. acquiring a new event series). 2. Methodology Changes: Changes in calculation methodology or improvements in the accuracy of emission factors or activity data that result in a significant shift in historic data (e.g. adopting new, more accurate emission factors for all apparel)
