Appendices GRI Contacts 60 b) Report period and scope This report covers the financial year 2015 (FY15): 1st July 2014 – 30th June 2015. The scope of the report is the entire EMEIA Financial Services region – including the FS parts of 14 markets (Austria, Belgium, Channel Islands, France, Germany, Gibraltar, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, UK), four service lines (Advisory, Assurance, TAS, Tax) and three sectors (Banking and capital markets, Insurance and Wealth and asset management). c) Restatements Every year, we aim to improve our reporting quality and the robustness of data. As a result of this, we sometimes have to restate data published in the previous year’s report. This year, three items are being restated: volunteering, cash donations and carbon data. Volunteering: Since we started publishing sustainability reports in 2012, our volunteering figures have been a combination of numbers from our internal systems, and a “manual uplift” calculation using an informed estimate. We conducted the manual uplift in the knowledge that the internal systems do not provide complete volunteering numbers, due to the nature of the requirement to input volunteering hours. We have decided this year to report on the conservative side, stating only what the internal systems tell us. Having reviewed these uplift calculations, we are publishing the system-only numbers, allowing us to reassess our manual uplift methodology and make it more robust for future years, while improving upon the reporting via our systems. We are also working on improvements in separating our skill-based and traditional volunteering data from our pro bono initiatives. Cash donations: In previous years, we have published the total donation figure from the EMEIA FS region. This year, to create a more accurate view of the donations coming from the EMEIA FS region, we have decided to publish a lower figure, representing solely what was given from the EMEIA FS segments of each market in the region. This figure is made up of collaborations/sponsorships with nonprofits, philanthropic donations to nonprofits and Partner spend on nonprofits. Carbon data: The restatements from Scopes 1 and 2 are primarily attributed to a reallocation of emissions for heating in the Netherlands from Scope 1 to Scope 2. d) Nonfinancial assurance This report is internally assured by an independent internal business unit within EY specializing in providing assurance on sustainability reporting, to review our nonfinancial information and processes. The scope of this review was volunteering, cash donations and carbon footprint, as well as the GRI table being presented in accordance with option Core of the GRI G4 guidelines. We believe that the independent internal nonfinancial assurance provides us with the thoroughness and robustness to report transparently and correctly in line with the guidelines. NB: While Austria joined the EMEIA FS region in 2015, their numbers are not included in the nonfinancial review. EMEIA Financial Services has a dedicated Corporate Sustainability (CS) team with financial services industry knowledge.
