3 From 2023 onward the scope of environmental performance statistics includes Glodon’s office buildings in Beijing Shanghai and
Xi’an. For the period from 2020 to 2022 data coverage was limited to the Beijing Headquarters Building. Glodon’s Smart Construction
and South China Headquarters in Guangzhou is scheduled to commence operations in July 2025; as such its full-year data is unavailable
and will be incorporated into the statistical scope beginning in 2026.
4 Restatement of Historical Data:
Natural Gas CO Emission Factor: Due to a unit error in the CO emission factor for natural gas in 2023 the originally applied factor
of 0.002162 kg CO/m3 has been corrected to 2.16 kg CO/m3.Electricity CO Emission Factor: The emission factor for electricity was updated in 2023 from 0.5703 kg CO/kWh (as per the Ministry
of Ecology and Environment’s Notice on Doing a Good Job in 2023-2025 Reporting and Management of Greenhouse Gas Emissions of
Power Generation Enterprises) to 0.5366 kg CO/kWh based on the 2022 power CO emission factors jointly released by the Ministry of
Ecology and Environment and the National Bureau of Statistics in 2024.Following these updates of factors the Company has revised the total carbon emissions as well as Scope 1 and Scope 2 carbon emission
values for 2023. These restatements result from updates in accounting methodologies and does not reflect an actual increase in emissions.
5 As part of the Company’s continuous enhancement of its carbon emissions accounting framework purchased thermal energy was
newly included in 2024 enabling more comprehensive coverage.
6 Restatement of Historical Data: Some electricity consumption data in 2023 had not been finalized by the reporting deadline.
Consequently previously reported values were based on estimates and have been subsequently revised to reflect actual usage.
7 The increase in purchased electricity is primarily due to the expansion of IT infrastructure. With the continuous growth of Glodon’s
AI-related business there is an increasing demand for IT infrastructure expansion the Xi’an R&D Centre Building added 37 new servers
to its IT center in 2024 leading to a 45% year-on-year increase in power consumption in the core server room. With further business growth
a growing need for IT capacity expansion is anticipated therefore the Company is concurrently implementing energy-saving initiatives for
servers to mitigate carbon emission increases.
8 The reason for the increase in total natural gas consumption is that the energy utilization of employees has
increased. Guanglada Xi'an Tower has been providing employees with dinner since the second quarter of 2023 and
has continued to do so throughout 2024. This has led to an increase in natural gas consumption but it has also
enhanced employees' sense of belonging and work efficiency.
9 The reason for the increase in the amount of harmless waste discharged is the same as that for the increase in
the total consumption of natural gas as stated in footnote 14.
