Introduction Empowering individuals Working together Operating sustainably Governance and engagement Appendix 2023 Environmental Repo爀琀 All carbon credits are retired on a public registry a昀琀er GRI Disclosure 302-1c(i) and 302-1f, and includes both Water metrics they’re delivered to us. Due to the timing of third-pa爀琀y purchased and self-generated electricity. Where actual Forward-looking veri昀椀cations, delivery and retirement for some 2022 electricity consumption for facilities isn’t available, we We repo爀琀 all water metrics for Alphabet Inc. and its carbon credits occurs a昀琀er the year ended December estimate consumption using company square footage and information subsidiaries’ data centers, o昀케ces, and other assets under 31, 2022. The Greenhouse Gas Protocol states that a internally developed electricity intensity factors based on our operational control. “Water consumption” is equal GHG target can be met through using credits that are 昀椀scal year 2022 data. References to information in this repo爀琀 should not be to (“Water withdrawal” – “Water discharge”). Our generated from GHG reduction projects at sources construed as a characterization regarding the materiality repo爀琀ed water consumption, water withdrawal, and water external to the (company’s) boundary. They’re designed Electricity purchased from renewable sources (%) is of such information to our 昀椀nancial results or our discharge metrics don’t include seawater. Water metrics to be interchangeable globally and deliverable from a calculated on a calendar-year basis, dividing the volume operations. While ce爀琀ain ma琀琀ers discussed in this repo爀琀 are rounded to the nearest hundred thousand gallons and variety of project types. Refer to our Google’s Carbon of renewable electricity (in megawa琀琀-hours) procured for may be signi昀椀cant, any signi昀椀cance should not be read are repo爀琀ed in million gallons. O昀昀sets: Collaboration and Due Diligence white paper our global operations (i.e., renewable energy procured as necessarily rising to the level of materiality used for for additional information. The quantity of carbon credits through our PPA contracts, on-site renewable energy the purposes of complying with applicable securities Water withdrawal data is based on actual metered enabled through contracted projects is subject to the generation, and renewable energy in the electric grids laws and regulations.

This metric goals, and other forward-looking statements.

In all instances where unce爀琀ainties, which could cause our actual results to Other carbon and Google currently purchases enough renewable energy actual potable water discharge isn’t available, we apply a di昀昀er materially from those re昀氀ected in the forward- to match our annual global electricity consumption. 90% discharge 昀氀ow factor to the facility water withdrawal energy metrics looking statements. Any changes in methodology may To achieve our 100% renewable energy match goal, to estimate water discharge. For irrigation water, we apply result in material changes to our calculations and may a 0% discharge 昀氀ow factor to the facility water withdrawal we 昀椀rst consider both our on-site renewable energy Our carbon intensity metrics are calculated as de昀椀ned result in the current and previous periods, including our to estimate water discharge. This estimation process is generation and the renewable energy that’s already in the base year, to be adjusted. Except as required by law, we by GRI Disclosure 305-4a-c. Carbon intensity metrics are applicable to all o昀케ces and to potable and irrigation water electric grids where our facilities are located, then procure unde爀琀ake no obligation to correct, revise, or update any based on gross global combined Scope 1 and Scope 2 withdrawal at data centers used for domestic purposes renewable energy through PPA agreements and utility information included in this repo爀琀.

We have a few facilities located unit of revenue and per full-time equivalent (FTE) employee isn’t available. in geographies where we’re not currently able to source values are rounded to the nearest hundredth, and repo爀琀ed large volumes of renewable energy, so we currently carbon intensity per MWh of energy consumed values are make up for this by buying surplus renewable energy rounded to the nearest ten thousandth. in regions where it’s abundant. For example, by buying larger amounts of wind energy in places like Europe, we Total energy consumption is calculated as de昀椀ned compensate for our lack of renewable energy purchases by GRI Disclosure 302-1e-f. Total energy consumption in Asia. This approach results in our Scope 2 market-based includes all fuel and natural gas consumption, purchased emissions being greater than zero, per the Greenhouse electricity, purchased heating, and all electricity Gas Protocol Scope 2 Guidance, despite us achieving our generated on-site from renewable sources. Total 100% renewable energy match globally. electricity consumption is calculated as de昀椀ned by 89
