TASK FORCE ON CLIMATE-RELATED FINANCIAL DISCLOSURES 35 Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG Emissions Units 2021 2022 We began measuring our operational greenhouse gas Scope 1 CO -e (metric tons) 649 617 2 (GHG) emissions (Scopes 1 and 2) for the 2021 calendar year. A summary of those emissions is provided here. Scope 2 CO -e (metric tons) 14,434 15,057 2 (location-based) Targets to Manage Climate-related Risks Scope 2 CO -e (metric tons) 14,727 15,187 and Opportunities 2 (market-based) Total Scope 1 and CO -e (metric tons) 15,083 15,674 As the GHG emissions data at right represent our 2 inaugural effort to collect such information, we have not Location-based Scope 2 established any targets to date. As we continue to assess Total Scope 1 and CO -e (metric tons) 15,376 15,805 the risks and opportunities that climate change presents 2 to our business—directly or indirectly—we may establish Market-based Scope 2 targets in the future. In the index on the following page, we are reporting certain SASB metrics that are relevant to our commercial banking activities, which constitute our principal line of business. The chart at right includes a summary of Hancock Whitney’s Scope 1 and Scope 2 (location- and market- based) emissions for the 2021 and 2022 calendar years. As recommended by the GHG Protocol, Scope 2 emissions were calculated utilizing both location-based and market-based methodologies. As defined by the World Resources Institute/World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WRI/WBCSD), the location- based method is based on grid average emissions, while the market-based method reflects emissions based on energy procurement purchasing decisions. The GHG emissions summary was calculated based on the data available, using a methodology consistent with the WRI/WBCSD GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting and To help reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, HWC is committed to installing electric vehicle charging stations throughout our footprint. Reporting Standard for emissions calculations.
