Our environment

In line with our TCFD commitments in FY22, we have calculated our applicable categories of Scope 3 emissions as well as our annual streamline energy and carbon reporting.

Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (‘SECR')

This report has been compiled in line with the March 2019 BEIS ‘Environmental Reporting Guidelines: Including streamlined energy and carbon reporting guidance’, and the EMA methodology for SECR Reporting. All measured emissions from activities which the organisation has financial control over are included as required under The Companies (Directors’ Report) and Limited Liability Partnerships (Energy and Carbon Report) Regulations 2018, unless otherwise stated in the exclusions statement.

The carbon figures have been calculated using the DESNZ 2024 carbon conversion factors for all fuels.

The table below sets out Motorpoint’s emissions in FY25 with prior year comparatives.

SECR	FY25	FY24¹
Total energy use covering electricity, gas, other fuels and transport (kWh)	13,220,491	13,596,613
Scope 1 emissions generated through combustion of gas (tCO2e)	505	646
Scope 1 emissions generated through use of transportation (tCO2e)	1,143	1,128
Scope 2 emissions generated through use of purchased electricity (tCO2e)	1,075	1,013
Scope 3 emissions generated through business travel (tCO2e)	99	120
Total Scope 1 & 2, Business Travel (tCO2e)	2,822	2,907¹
Intensity ratio - Total Scopes 1 & 2, Business Travel (tCO2e/Floor Area – sq ft)	0.00330	0.00347

_{Note: Disclosures above are aligned with the SECR minimum mandatory requirements for quoted companies: global Scope 1 emissions from combustion of gas/fuel for transport purposes and global Scope 2 emissions from purchased energy. Additional disclosure of Scope 3 emissions from business travel or employee owned vehicles is included. Motorpoint Plc operates within the UK only.}

_{1. Restated from the prior year due to a miscalculation in automated meter reading data resulting in an understatement of the gas usage. This changed the total energy use from 12,938,771 to 13,596,613 and therefore the Scope 2 emissions generated through combustion of gas (tC02 e) from 525 to 646 and the Intensity ratio from 0.00332 to 0.00347. This restatement had no impact on the executive bonus calculation as the prior year reduction was still above the target.}

Our SECR reported emissions for Scope 1 and 2, Business Travel decreased 2.9% from 2,907 tCO2e in FY24 to 2,822 tCO2e in FY25. On an intensity basis, taking into account the portfolio size of the business, our emissions intensity decreased by 4.9% from FY24 to FY25.Our relative footprint decrease for combustibles and purchased energy in Scope 1 and 2 reflects the success of our store business partnering, working with store managers to continue to find ways to reduce gas and electricity usage.

Scope 3 Emissions

With GHG emissions being a priority focus under our ESG framework, a detailed understanding of our emissions is vital. Up until recently our focus has been on the emissions from our direct operations under Scope 1 and Scope 2 of the GHG protocol. While these emissions are more directly under our control, they offer only a snapshot of total emissions footprint as opposed to the emissions of our entire value chain under Scope 3.

Scope 3 emissions have increased year on year by 65.0% which is largely driven by the ‘use of sold products’ category. This reflects a significant rise in average annual mileage as individuals return to in person work, alongside increased sales volumes and a changing stock profile. This category makes up 96.1% of Scope 3 emissions and other movements between Scope 3 categories were immaterial year on year.

There are a total of 15 categories defined by the GHG protocol for Scope 3. Of these 15 categories, we have established that nine additional areas not in our SECR reported emissions above that are relevant to Motorpoint’s value chain. Based on these categories, we have calculated our emissions using the most appropriate method with the data available to us, recognising that reliable data for Scope 3 is a challenge and we are on a journey to improving our understanding in this area. Particular focus was put towards the calculation of emissions from products sold, as this category makes up the majority of our entire footprint across Scope 1, 2 and 3. For categories less material to the business due to their reduced totals of tCO2e, we have calculated them using a range of industry accepted data and estimates.

Motorpoint Scope 1, 2 and 3 Emissions	Total category emissions	Percentage of Motorpoint footprint
Total Scope 1 Emissions	1,648	0.27%
Total Scope 2 Emissions	1,075	0.18%
Scope 3 Emissions
Category 1 – Purchased Goods and Services	12,581	2.05%
Category 2 – Capital Goods	1,346	0.22%
Category 3 – Fuel and Energy	417	0.07%
Category 4 – Upstream Transportation	8,116	1.32%
Category 5 – Waste	133	0.02%
Category 6 – Business Travel	99	0.02%
Category 7 – Employee Commute	502	0.08%
Category 8 – Upstream Leased Assets	N/A
Category 9 – Downstream Transportation	278	0.05%
Category 10 – Processing of Sold Products	N/A
Category 11 – Use of Sold Products	587,157	95.73%
Category 12 – End of Life Treatment of Products	N/A
Category 13 – Downstream Leased Assets	N/A
Category 14 - Franchises	N/A
Category 15 - Investments	N/A
