Notes:

1. Extract from GIP’s ESG reports shared with Investors. Statistics shown represent aggregate portfolio data for GIP’s Flagship Funds (GIP II, GIP III and GIP IV), GIPA I and II, GIP EM, SMAs and Continuation Funds as of 31 December 2022, unless otherwise stated. Percentages based on number of portfolio companies.
2. In addition, SunPower has enabled the installation of solar projects that generated ~27 TWh renewable energy which is estimated to have avoided 19 million metric tonnes of CO2e for its customers in 2022.
3. Where reported data is not available, avoided emissions are estimated by ICE Data Services. ICE Data Services utilizes a similar methodology to how portfolio companies calculate avoided emissions, based on renewable energy generation data and location-specific grid mixes.
4. GIP recognizes the importance of understanding our own carbon footprint as well. We have measured our Scope 1, 2 and 3 (business travel) emissions internally since 2019 across all offices. For 2021 and 2022, we estimate that our Scope 1 & 2 emissions were 330-350 tonnes CO2e per year. Our measurement methodology is based primarily on actual data. A conservative approach has been taken for the application of conversion factors and data estimation (where required due to a lack of reported data). Therefore, a range has been provided.
5. As of 30 September 2023. Green finance is debt issued in green format that has been independently verified by a third-party advisor or bank. Excludes direct financing of renewables, which would include all assets in Renewables sector.
6. Reflects capital invested and/or committed to investments in the renewable energy sector across the GIP platform, including co-investments, as of 30 June 2023.
7. Based on the US National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework.
8. As of 31 March 2023. Represents GIP’s Flagship Funds (GIP II, III and IV) only. Recent GIP V investments are excluded. When considering other funds and strategies (i.e. GIPA I and II, GIP EM, SMAs, Continuation Funds and GIP Core (including Vantage Towers)) as well, 54% of companies’ Boards have 30% diversity or more. Gender diversity is defined as Boards that include at least one woman. Ethnic diversity is defined as Boards that include at least one ethnic minority group, based on the geography of the portfolio company.
