Publication date: May, 2023........................................................................

Commitment to achieving Net Zero

QIAGEN has SBTi validated climate targets and committed to Net Zero by 2050.

Baseline Emissions Footprint

Baseline emissions are a record of the greenhouse gases that have been produced in the past and were produced prior to the introduction of any strategies to reduce emissions. Baseline emissions are the reference point against which emissions reduction can be measured.

Baseline Year: 2020

Additional Details relating to the Baseline Emissions calculations

none

Baseline year emissions: 2020

EMISSIONS TOTAL (tCO2e)

Scope 1	10,202
Scope 2	10,416 (market based)
Scope 3	405,599
(Included Sources)	Scope 3 covers upstream and downstream emissions that occur along our value chain. We have considered
	emissions in the following categories in the base year : Scopes 3.1. (Purchased goods and services), 3.3.
	(Energy related activities), 3.4. (Upstream and downstream transportation and distribution), 3.5. (Waste in
	operations), 3.6. (Business travel), 3.7. (Employee commuting), 3.11. (Use phase of sold products) and 3.12.
	(End of life).
Total Emissions	426,217

Current Emissions Reporting

Reporting Year: 2022

EMISSIONS	TOTAL (tCO2e)
Scope 1	13,730
Scope 2	2,882
Scope 3	312,912
(Included Sources)
Total Emissions	329,524

QIAGEN's produced 587 tons of scope 1+2 CO2e in the UK, which comprises 3.5% of QIAGEN's scope 1+2 footprint. Scope 3 emissions were calculated globally, and this data is not available on a country-wide basis.

Emissions reduction targets

• While we began setting emission reduction goals in 2019, in 2021, we committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions in line with the most recent criteria set out by the SBTi. These targets have been validated and approved by the SBTi early in 2023 and the SBTi has assessed our near-term and net-zero targets against the SBTi's Net-Zero Standard Criteria and the SBTi Near-Term Target Criteria and Recommendations. The SBTi target validation team has classified QIAGEN's scope 1 and 2 target ambition and has determined that it is in line with 1.5°C trajectory.
• • Overall Net-Zero Target: QIAGEN commits to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) across the value chain by 2050 from a 2020 base year.
  • Near-TermTargets: QIAGEN commits to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 42% by 2030 from a 2020 base year. QIAGEN also commits to reduce absolute scope 3 GHG emissions from business travel, use of sold products and end- of-life treatment of sold products 25% within the same timeframe. QIAGEN further commits that 67% of its suppliers by emissions covering purchased goods and services, capital goods and upstream transportation and distribution will have science- based targets by 2027.
  • Long-TermTargets: QIAGEN commits to reduce absolute Scope 1, 2 and 3 GHG emissions 90% by 2050 from a 2020 base year.

Carbon Reduction Projects

Completed Carbon Reduction Initiatives

The following environmental management measures and projects have been completed or implemented since the 2020 baseline Carbon Reduction Initiatives comprise:

• Purchase of renewable energy certificates for our two largest manufacturing sites, Hilden and Germantown
• Energy efficiency measures for our two primary manufacturing sites in Hilden, Germany and Germantown, MD, USA. These include
• • Installation of solar panels
  • Replacing gas and oil with renewable sources (such as wood pellets and heat pumps fuelled by green electricity)
  • Replacing lighting with LEDs
  • Installation of motion-controlled lighting
• We have started to transition our fleet of company cars in the U.S., Germany, Switzerland, and Austria to use hybrid or electric vehicles in 2022.
• During 2022, we launched an energy efficiency employee awareness campaign that encouraged employees to identify creative solutions for energy efficiencies across the company.
• We rolled out a pilot to track and reduce the emissions of our employees from their commute to and from work. Developed in cooperation with a global telecommunication company, the EcoShift App can track employee emissions and suggest feasible ways to reduce them.

In the future we will implement further measures:

• Further transition to green energy through installation of solar panels and purchase of renewable energy certificates.
• Continue transition of company cars to hybrid and electric vehicles
• Certification to ISO 14001 for the largest manufacturing site in Hilden
• Ongoing plastic reduction measures, to address emissions from purchased goods and services, and product end of life.
• Advanced energy modelling during the design phase of new buildings
