Renewable energy credits and direct renewables to achieve operational net zero by 2025Data confidence — high

TransUnion's plan for achieving its Scope 1 and Scope 2 net zero target (by end of 2025) includes utilizing renewable energy purchases either directly or by pairing electricity with renewable energy credits (RECs). For emissions that TransUnion is unable to reasonably avoid, the company purchases RECs and carbon offsets to help mitigate impact. This approach is framed as a core element of TransUnion's holistic energy efficiency strategy.

Primary: Data center migration to cloud to reduce Scope 1 and 2 energy consumptionData confidence — high

TransUnion is migrating data from TransUnion-operated data centers to cloud providers as a primary lever to reduce energy consumption and associated GHG emissions. This migration supports the company's operational net zero goal (Scope 1 and 2 by end of 2025) by shifting from owned/operated facilities to third-party cloud infrastructure, reducing direct energy use.

sustainability_report p.24

Primary: Real estate consolidation to reduce office energy use and Scope 3 leased asset emissionsData confidence — high

TransUnion pursues a real estate consolidation strategy to more efficiently use office space, reducing costs and environmental impact. This directly addresses the company's Scope 3 Upstream Leased Assets category (leased real estate not within operational control) and supports the 30% reduction target by 2030 (2019 baseline). Consolidation also lowers Scope 2 emissions from leased sites under operational control.

sustainability_report p.24

Dependent: Upstream leased assets Scope 3 tracking for sites outside operational controlData confidence — high

TransUnion tracks Scope 3 GHG emissions across three categories: Upstream Leased Assets, Waste, and Business Travel. Upstream Leased Assets cover leased real estate where TransUnion does not have sufficient operational control to influence energy sourcing. A 30% reduction target by 2030 (2019 baseline) has been set for this category, making it a key dependent lever in the company's overall climate strategy.

12-year Constellation Energy PPA supporting new renewable energy in the U.S.Data confidence — high

In May 2023, TransUnion announced a partnership with Constellation Energy Corporation under a 12-year contract to support the production of new renewable energy in the United States. The company anticipates this contract will help reduce carbon emissions associated with energy use by more than 8,000 metric tons each year. Renewable energy purchases are one of the primary levers the company plans to use to achieve its operational net zero Scope 1 and Scope 2 target by 2025. For residual emissions that cannot reasonably be avoided, TransUnion expects to mitigate impact through annual carbon attribute purchases.

Primary: Cloud migration and real estate footprint reduction to cut Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissionsData confidence — high

TransUnion plans to achieve its GHG reduction targets primarily through renewable energy purchases, cloud migration (Project Rise and OneTru platform), and a real estate consolidation strategy. The operating model optimization program, approved in November 2023, specifically targets reducing the facility footprint, with facility exit restructuring charges of $42.1 million recorded in 2024. Cloud migration shifts workloads off on-premise infrastructure, reducing data center energy consumption. The company considers leased sites within its operational control as part of Scope 2 reporting.

sustainability_report p.30

Dependent: Scope 3 leased real estate emissions reduction target of 30% by 2030Data confidence — high

TransUnion has set a specific Scope 3 target: 30% reductions on leased real estate Scope 3 emissions by 2030, using 2019 as a baseline. The company defines Scope 3 GHG emissions to include leased real estate other than sites within its operational control captured in Scope 2. TransUnion considers leased sites where it has sufficient influence over energy consumption and sourcing—as determined by an internal survey—to fall within operational control. The methodology may evolve in the future.

sustainability_report p.30

Renewable energy credits and carbon offsets used to mitigate GHG impactData confidence — high

TransUnion is purchasing renewable energy credits and carbon offsets to help mitigate its climate impact while working toward emissions reduction, including for emissions it is unable to reasonably avoid.
