Notes:
- Total Energy includes biomass and non-renewable fuel consumed, renewable and non-renewable electricity consumed, and purchased steam (Santa Clara Mill) consumed.
- Electricity Used includes all electricity purchased and self-generated, including 47,504 MWh generated by a natural gas-fired steam turbine at the Massillon Mill.
- Renewable Energy includes purchased and self-generated electricity produced using renewable technology.
- Renewable Energy includes renewable electricity plus renewable fuel.
- Analysis calculates the quantity of power purchased from suppliers who generate electricity using renewable technology as a fraction of the total quantity of renewable electricity consumed.
- Analysis calculates the quantity of renewable electricity and renewable fuel (wood, OCC, and black liquor at the Riverville mill) purchased from suppliers as a fraction of the total quantity of renewable electricity and fuel consumed.

Notes:
- Source: Greif 2020 CDP Climate Response
- Reduction since FY2014, the baseline year. Includes legacy Greif facilities only.
- Emission Reductions are expressed in thousands of metric tonnes CO2e.
- Company’s operations are defined as production facilities. Warehouses and offices (except the headquarters office in Delaware, Ohio) are not within the scope of the emissions inventory.
- 2020 GHG Verification Statement
*To standardize emissions and inform year-over-year progress toward our 2025 goal, our 2014 emissions data has been restated to correct several facilities’ eGRID regions. Total does not include 246,000 metric tons of CO2e from biogenic sources.
**Our percent reduction in emissions per unit of production dropped from FY 2015 to FY 2016 due to increased fugitive emissions from our Riverville, Virginia, paper mill and total emissions from our Massillon, Ohio, paper mill. Updated emissions and global warming potential factors also contributed to this change. Data based on legacy Greif facilities only to maintain comparability with 2014 baseline.
^ These figures have been restated to better account for steam usage at one of our mills.

Notes:
-
2015 to 2018 data is from Greif’s two paper mills, one of which is located in Riverville, Virginia, and the other in Massillon, Ohio. Historically, these two paper mills accounted for more than 90% of Greif’s global water footprint. They draw from the James River and onsite water wells, respectively. 2019 data includes 12 former Caraustar mills that were acquired and integrated in 2019. All 2019 data is full year data. Quality of wastewater discharged from our mills meets permit requirements. No discharged water was used by another organization. WWTP = Wastewater Treatment Plant.
-
FY 2019 data includes the Mobile Wright Smith WWTP, which was shut down in 2020, and been restated to properly account for FY 2019 West Branch Paw Paw Creek discharge.
*Evaporative losses estimated
**Treated with primary clarification, secondary clarification and aeration before direct discharge
^ Treated with wastewater pre-treatment including soluble BOD removal
^^ Treated with wastewater pre-treatment with solids only.
† Greif does not currently track withdrawal of municipal water.
| water use in regions with High or Extremely High Baseline Water Stress* | FY 2020 |
| Water Withdrawal (Thousands of cubic meters) | 170.4 |
| Percentage of Total Water Withdrawal | 1% |
| Water Consumed (Thousands of cubic meters) | 162.7 |
| Percentage of Total Water Consumed | 1% |
*Data collected from 26 Greif facilities operating in regions with high or extremely high baseline water stress, as defined by WRI's Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas tool. Annual withdrawal data from Greif's Algeria facility estimated based on total withdrawal since installing a well in approximately 2003. Percentages reported as a percentage of water used in Greif’s mill operations in our Paper Packaging & Services business only, which is estimated to represent 95% of Greif’s total water withdrawal and consumption. Greif does not currently report global water data for all facilities.

Notes:
- In 2017, we expanded our data collection to all global operations.
- Legacy Caraustar facilities were incorporated into waste reporting in FY 2020.
*Non-Landfill: Includes chemical-physical, incineration with energy recovery, recycled, reused, reclaimed, composted and fuels blending treatment methods.
**Incinerated (with energy recovery): Treatment method involving the combustion of solid waste that results in energy capture.
***Composted: Treatment method involving the biological decomposition of solid or liquid operational waste.
**** Incinerated (no energy recovery): Treatment method involving the combustion of solid waste that does not result in energy capture.
†Recycled: Treatment method involving the separation, preparation and sale of recyclable materials to end-user manufacturers.
††Reused: Treatment method involving the use of a material for its original purpose multiple times.
†††Reclaimed: Treatment method involving the process of extracting and converting materials from recycled materials to be used again.
†††† Miscellaneous (Non Landfill): All other treatment methods not mentioned previously, including Deep Well Injection and On-Site Storage, which were reported separately in 2017.

For reporting purposes, 100% of that volume is reported as renewable and recycled content. Our 2021 report will include data with updated assumptions and from additional business segments.

*All figures are estimated based on our current product classifications and financial reporting practices. Data has been aggregated to eliminate double counting. In our Rigid Industrial Packaging and Paper Packaging Services businesses, all steel, plastic and paper products are recyclable. All steel and plastic products are also designed to be reusable. Revenue from these products is counted as recyclable except for coated container board, which is compostable. Greif's fibre drums are recyclable, but excluded from these figures as doing so is not a common market practice. We will begin reporting fibre drums as recyclable when doing so becomes a more common practice in the market. Data does not include revenue from our Tri-Sure operating segment. Accurate data is currently unavailable from this segment, however we will include them in our 2021 report along with more accurate estimates across all of our business segments.
