SECTION A 1. INTRODUCTION

This 2017 Carbon Footprint Report constitutes the first carbon footprint commissioned by Bidcorp from

Carbon Calculated. In 2016, Bidcorp reported on its Scope 1 emissions only, excluding emissions from

its refrigerant or air-conditioning equipment. These 2016 Scope 1 emissions are referenced in this

report for year-on-year comparative purposes, but cannot be verified by Carbon Calculated.

This report has been prepared using the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol Corporate Accounting and

Reporting Standard methodology.

In accordance with the GHG Protocol, clear organisational and operational boundaries have been

defined and agreed to by Bidcorp, and the relevant activity data has been supplied. This report covers

emissions from the business activities of Bidcorp, inclusive of all subsidiaries.

The report covers 25 586 full-time employees (FTEs) and 28 companies operating in 22 countries.

The GHG-emitting activities covered by the report include direct emissions (referred to as Scope 1)

resulting from fuel used by Bidcorp-owned and Bidcorp-controlled equipment (stationary fuels), and

fleet vehicles (mobile fuels), as well as indirect emissions (referred to as Scope 2) from purchased

electricity.

While this report does not include Scope 1 emissions from Bidcorp-owned and Bidcorp-controlled

refrigerant or air-conditioning equipment, future carbon footprint reports will include this information.

Indirect emissions in the corporate supply chain, referred to as Scope 3 emissions, are not included in

this year’s report. Analysis will be conducted during the next financial year to determine whether any

Scope 3 emissions will be included in future reports.

The GHG Protocol The GHG Protocol is the most widely used standard for mandatory and voluntary GHG reports and is compatible with other international GHG standards such as ISO 14064. It is derived from a multiple-stakeholder partnership of businesses, NGOs and governments led by the World Resources Institute (WRI) and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD).

It is important to highlight that under the GHG Protocol the reporting of both direct emissions and

indirect emissions resulting from purchased electricity is compulsory (Scopes 1 and 2). For a detailed

breakdown of Scopes and emission categories refer to the infographic below.

Carbon Calculated has gone to all reasonable lengths to ensure that the primary information provided

by Bidcorp is correct, Carbon Calculated is not liable for any inaccuracies that this information might

contain. This report, in its entirety, is intended for Bidcorp internal use only. Information may, however,

be extracted for reporting purposes, such as for submission into international and/or national

greenhouse gas registries and sustainability reporting. It may also be presented for third-party

verification purposes.

2. COMPANY DESCRIPTION

Bid Corporation Limited (Bidcorp) is an international food service company, comprising of 32 separate

and autonomous companies operating in 22 countries across five continents.

Originally part of the Bidvest group of companies, Bidcorp listed independently on the Johannesburg

Stock Exchange (JSE) in May 2016.

Bidcorp services a wide mix of small, medium and large customers with tailored solutions fit for the

outlets purpose. The company upholds a decentralised business model, where each individual company

operates autonomously. However, for the purposes of this report, each company was asked to provide

standardised data relating to its carbon-emitting activities, allowing for this consolidated Bidcorp

carbon footprint analysis.

3. REQUIRED INFORMATION

3.1. INVENTORY BOUNDARIES

3.1.1. ORGANISATIONAL BOUNDARY

Organisational boundaries are established on either the control approach or the equity share approach.

Under the control approach, a company accounts for all emissions by entities and activities that are

controlled by the organisation. Under the equity share approach, a company accounts for its GHG

emissions from operations according to its share of equity in the operation.

Bidcorp reports on all emissions using the operational control approach.

3.1.2. OPERATIONAL BOUNDARY

Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions resulting from the following activities have been calculated: Scope 1 – Direct Emissions

Stationary fuel (emissions from stationary equipment, such as generators, boilers, etc.)

Mobile fuel (fleet vehicles)

Scope 2 – Indirect Emissions

Purchased electricity (location-based)

3.2. REPORTING PERIOD

The reporting period of this report is 01 July 2016 – 30 June 2017.

Operational Boundaries Operational boundaries determine the actual operational activities of the reporting company that generate emissions; which of these activities should be included in the calculation; and how these activities should be classified (i.e., direct or indirect emissions).

3.3. BASE YEAR

Base-year Calculations A base year is the historical year against which a reporting company’s emissions are tracked and compared over time. It is typically the earliest relevant point in time for which a company has reliable data.

Bidcorp has completed one carbon footprint report, in 2016, which accounted for only Scope 1

emissions. For a historical record of Bidcorp’s emissions, see Table 5 (p.17).

4. METHODOLOGY, EXCLUSIONS AND ASSUMPTIONS This carbon footprint report has been completed using the GHG Protocol. The following emissions

exclusions are noted:

Scope 1 — Direct Emissions

Bidcorp Corporate operations.

Refrigerants and air-conditioning gas refills from all operations.

Scope 2 — Indirect Emissions

Bidcorp Corporate operations.

Market-based electricity emissions. All electricity emissions are calculated according to the

location methodology, and national electricity emission factors are used.

Renewable electricity for operations, other than Bidfood UK and Bidfood Europe.

Scope 3 — Indirect Emissions

All emissions relating to Bidcorp’s supply chain are excluded from this report. Outside of scopes — Non-Kyoto greenhouse gases

All emissions that might be considered “outside of scopes” have been excluded from this report.

5. INFORMATION ON BIDCORP’S EMISSIONS

5.1. TOTAL SCOPE 1 & 2 EMISSIONS The GHG Protocol requires carbon footprint calculations to include all direct emissions under Scope 1

and indirect emissions from purchased electricity under Scope 2 as compulsory reporting.

All emissions are calculated using emission factors and reported as carbon dioxide equivalent gases

(CO2e), as required by the GHG Protocol. Emission factors used in the calculations are available on

request. The greenhouse gases covered by this calculation are carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4),

nitrous oxide (N2O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) and

nitrogen trifluoride (NF3).

Carbon Dioxide Equivalent (CO2e) A standard unit for measuring emissions from various greenhouse gases based upon their global warming potential in relation to that of carbon dioxide.

Emission Factors Emission factors convert operational activity data (e.g., kilometres driven, kilowatt hours of purchased electricity) into a value indicating the GHG emissions generated by that particular activity — reported as carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e).

SECTION F 8. NEXT STEPS FOR BIDCORP

8.1. VERIFICATION OF GHG INVENTORY

An independent verification party has not assured this report in its entirety. It is recommended that the

carbon footprint report be verified.

8.2. SCIENCE-BASED TARGETS

The Science Based Targets initiative is a partnership between CDP,1 United Nations Global Compact

(UNGC), World Resources Institute (WRI) and World Wildlife Fund (WWF). The initiative enables

leading companies to set targets which will hold global warming below the 2°C threshold — as directed

by science and promoted through the Paris Agreement.2.

To date, 230 companies worldwide have committed to setting SBTs, including, inter alia, Coca Cola,

Daimler, GlaxoSmithkline, Nestlé and Unilever. In addition, a number of South African companies –

including Exxaro, Pick ‘n Pay, Tiger Brands, Tongaat Hulett, Woolworths and Mediclinic – have also

aligned with the initiative.

Carbon Calculated recommends that Bidcorp consider adopting science-based reduction targets.

8.3. CARBON TAX

As part of South Africa’s ongoing efforts to move towards a low carbon economy and to meet South

Africa’s INDC targets, National Treasury has proposed a tax on local carbon emissions.

The ultimate design of the South African tax is yet to be finalised. The anticipated initial implementation

date was January 2017. However, in the latest South African Budget Speech of 22 February 2017, it

was announced that a revised Carbon Tax Bill will be published for public consultation and tabled in

Parliament later in 2017. This suggests that the carbon tax may come into play in early 2018.

1 CDP (formally the Carbon Disclosure Project) is an independent not-for-profit organisation with the aim of seeking information on the risks and opportunities of the business presented by climate change and greenhouse gas emissions data from the world’s largest companies. CDP has become the leading standard for carbon disclosure and process. The CDP website is the largest repository of corporate greenhouse gas emissions data in the world. 2 http://sciencebasedtargets.org/about-us/ Accessed 07 April 2017.

Bidcorp 2017 Carbon Footprint Report | 11 October 2017 | Final Version

20

It is important to keep in mind that those businesses which have identified themselves as not-liable for

carbon tax during the first phase will still be required to submit environmental levy accounts regardless

of whether any carbon tax payment is due.

8.4. CARBON CALCULATED’S ADDITIONAL SERVICE OFFERINGS

APPENDIX A INFORMATION ON CARBON FOOTPRINTING

Direct and Indirect Emissions Under the GHG Protocol, emissions are categorised as ‘direct’ when they are generated from activities or sources within the reporting company’s organisational boundary and which the company owns or controls. ‘Indirect’ sources are those emissions related to the company’s activities that are emitted from sources owned or controlled by another company, e.g., purchased electricity, rental cars, commercial airlines or paper.

Scope 1 Emissions Emissions from sources owned or controlled by the reporting company, e.g., generators, refrigeration, air-conditioning units.

Scope 2 Emissions Emissions associated with the consumption of purchased electricity, heat or steam from a source that is not owned or controlled by the reporting company, e.g., an electricity utility such as Eskom. Scope 2 emissions are reported according to either the location-based or market-based approach.

Location-based and Market-based The location-based method reflects the average emissions intensity of electricity grids on which energy consumption occurs, thus using the grid average emission factor. The market-based method reflects the emissions from electricity-generating sources that companies have purposefully chosen — for example, energy from a wind farm — which may be different from the electricity that is generated for the local grid. Different electricity suppliers and contracts emit more or less greenhouse gases depending on the energy source or technology resulting in a supplier-specific emission factor.

Scope 3 Emissions Scope 3 emissions are indirect emissions, other than purchased electricity, heat or steam, which can be described as relevant to the activities of the reporting company, e.g., business travel, but which are emitted by sources in the reporting company’s supply chain.
