Supply chain ENGAGEMENT 80% of ITV’s emissions sit within our supply chain, making our suppliers critical to our decarbonisation plan. This is why we make every effort to include them on our journey. ENGAGING WITH KEY SUPPLIERS In 2023, we expanded our supplier engagement programme by inviting over 250 suppliers to submit climate-related information to the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). Our response rate to CDP increased from around 50% to around 60% and we are seeing good progress by many of our key suppliers. We continue to collaborate with our UK broadcasting peers to engage our shared supply chains. In 2023, we jointly engaged targeted supplier groups to help accelerate their sustainability maturity. In 2024, we will continue with our targeted engagement approach and look to provide more support for SMEs in our supply chain. EMBEDDING SUSTAINABILITY INTO OUR PROCUREMENT PROCESSES Sustainability is embedded into our procurement processes and contracting terms, with 20% of the selection criteria for key contracts dedicated to Social Purpose. We are also considering sustainability earlier in projects by incorporating sustainability considerations into project design. This progress means supplier selection and investment decisions Battery Generator are increasingly being influenced by sustainability factors. ITV Social Purpose Impact Report 2023 26
