Verification Opinion:
Based on the verification process and procedures conducted to a limited assurance level of the GHG emissions
statement shown above, Apex found no evidence that the GHG emissions statement:
• is not materially correct and is not a fair representation of the GHG emissions data and information; and
• has not been prepared in accordance with the WRI/WBCSD GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting and
Reporting Standard (Scope 1 and 2), and WRI/WBCSD Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Value Chain
Accounting and Reporting Standard (Scope 3).
