Changes to our disclosures to exclude information regarding our Environmental Services business that was sold effective March 3, 2025, will be reflected beginning with our reporting for the 2025 calendar year. 2 Decrease in solid waste collection operations from 2023 to 2024 is due to divestitures and the consolidation of certain leased properties. 3 Decrease in solid waste collection fleet from 2023 to 2024 is primarily due to divestitures and the retirement of older fleet assets. | DATA SUMMARY GFLENV.COM | 1 2024 Data Summary 2021 2022 2023 2024 Environmental Data Recyclable Materials Managed by GFL Recyclables (tonnes) 2,734,065 2,787,386 3,000,731 2,988,443 Organics (tonnes) 4 419,708 708,232 746,130 747,836 Soil (tonnes) 2,067,727 3,917,081 3,165,670 3,637,408 Used Motor Oil and Antifreeze (megalitres) 220 349 308 309 Wastewater Treated (megalitres) 397 892 1,004 1,209 Recyclable Material Recovered (tonnes) Recyclable Materials Recovered at GFL MRFs 5 Total 1,178,118 1,178,511 1,159,444 1,267,279 Fibres 914,024 893,393 861,321 970,441 Glass 67,679 91,124 81,748 77,443 Plastic 141,674 140,757 145,746 149,469 Metal 45,817 45,362 49,114 54,692 Other 8,924 7,875 21,514 15,235 4 Organic tonnages reported on a wet basis and excludes liquid biosolids that are reported in wastewater treated volumes. 5 Excludes C&D MRFs. | DATA SUMMARY GFLENV.COM | 2 2024 Data Summary 2021 2022 2023 2024 Recyclable Materials Recovered at Other GFL Facilities Total 545,167 642,340 713,777 781,590 Fibres 91,658 107,708 124,110 157,356 Plastic 35,704 43,428 10,572 32,950 Metal 14,019 21,274 28,251 28,099 Construction Materials/Wood 401,763 468,343 548,517 557,724 E-Waste and Batteries 2,023 1,007 2,096 5,094 Other Not Reported 580 231 368 Total Recyclable Materials Recovered at GFL MRFs and Other GFL Facilities 1,723,284 1,820,851 1,873,221 2,048,869 GHG Emissions (tonnes CO 2 e) 6 Scope 1 Emissions 7 Total Scope 1 Emissions 4,726,654 4,832,611 4,158,435 4,630,217 Landfill 4,014,284 4,082,699 3,424,037 3,866,533 Composting 22,734 31,457 30,629 23,194 Fossil Fuel Combustion - Mobile Sources 8 654,501 692,514 671,827 690,910 Other Energy Use 35,135 25,941 31,943 49,580 Scope 2 Emissions 9 Scope 2 Emissions (Location-Based) 30,953 30,796 34,412 33,090 Scope 2 Emissions (Market-Based) Not Reported Not Reported 14,095 7,154 6 GHG emissions have been calculated based on the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, ISO 14064, and associated guidance. Scope 1, 2 emissions for all years as well as scope 3 emissions have been independently verified by a third-party. Landfill gas emissions are calculated using the US EPA Part 98, Subpart HH equations and associated guidance from SWICS. Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions have been recalculated for all reporting years using IPCC AR5 global warming potential values. 7 Our base year (2021) scope 1 emissions have been recalculated in accordance with The GHG Protocol to reflect structural changes including acquisitions and divestitures, changes in our calculation methodology to align with industry practices and certain accuracy improvements. GHG emissions reported for scope 1 and 2 represent actual emissions for the reporting year, not adjusted for acquisitions and divestitures. For example, acquisitions completed in 2023 are accounted for the portion of the year owned in 2023 and the full-year of ownership in 2024. 8 Mobile sources include all vehicles and equipment used in GFL's Solid and Environmental Services Divisions. 9 In accordance with the GHG Protocol, location-based emissions represent the use of regional grid-sourced electricity at GFL-owned facilities. Market-based emissions represent grid-sourced electricity at GFL-owned facilities bundled with regional renewable energy certificates (RECs). | DATA SUMMARY GFLENV.COM | 3 2024 Data Summary 2021 2022 2023 2024 Scope 1 and 2 Emissions Total Scope 1 and 2 Emissions 4,757,607 4,863,407 4,172,525 4,637,371 Scope 3 Emissions 10 Total Scope 3 Emissions 869,159 866,091 800,612 657,084 Purchased Goods and Services (PG&S) 337,412 251,791 263,086 129,659 Capital Goods 116,277 145,107 192,546 108,467 Fuel and Energy-Related Activities 106,396 105,847 101,504 120,094 Transportation and Distribution 276,629 312,581 172,089 132,553 Waste Generated in Operations 682 1,242 1,213 1,347 Employee Commuting 30,663 34,336 34,204 32,268 Business Travel 1,100 3,178 3,324 3,558 Use of Sold Products 11,12 Not Reported 12,009 32,645 32,789 Investments 13 Not Reported Not Reported Not Reported 96,349 Biogenic Emissions Total Biogenic CO 2 Emissions (all sources) 1,573,586 1,631,460 1,546,231 1,694,903 Biogenic CO 2 Emissions from Biofuel Combustion (LFG and renewable fuels) 511,115 531,757 457,640 570,685 10 Scope 3 emissions associated with the Purchased Goods and Services (PG&S) and Capital Goods categories are calculated using the spend-based method as outlined in The GHG Protocol's Technical Guidance for Calculating Scope 3 Emissions. 2023 PG&S and Capital Goods emissions were recalculated based on the updated EEIO emissions factors. 2024 PG&S and Capital Goods emissions decreased from 2023 as a result of improved transparency in procurement data and a decrease in spend. 11 GFL's Used Motor Oil Refinery collects used oil for re-refining. Used motor oil that is collected but not re-refined by us is sold as fuel into the burner fuel market. Emissions from the combustion of this sold fuel is accounted for as use of sold products. 12 Avoided emissions represent potential emissions reductions associated with recycling materials calculated using the US EPA's WARM tool and include emissions associated with recycling and processing materials compared to landfilling and replacement with virgin inputs. Emissions downstream of GFL's recycling operations associated with processing recovered materials are not reported in GFL's scope 3 GHG inventory. 13 A screening-level assessment of GFL's investment-related scope 3 emissions was completed for the 2023 reporting year and included in our GHG inventory for 2024. | DATA SUMMARY GFLENV.COM | 4 2024 Data Summary 2021 2022 2023 2024 Avoided GHG Emissions Total GHG Emissions Avoided and Sequestered 12,129,770 11,971,563 11,944,670 12,105,594 Recyclables, Organics and Other Recyclable Waste Streams 7,776,179 7,690,866 8,171,989 8,211,465 Renewable Energy Generation from Landfill Gas 279,443 201,303 233,508 153,555 Carbon Sequestered 3,943,262 4,079,394 3,539,174 3,740,574 Carbon Intensity GHG Emissions Avoided (tonnes CO 2 e) per Million Dollars of Sales 14 1,482 1,167 1,118 1,540 Scope 1 GHG Emissions (tonnes CO 2 e) per Million Dollars of Sales 920 715 553 589 Scope 1 and 2 GHG Emissions (tonnes CO 2 e) per Million Dollars of Sales 926 719 555 590 Landfill Gas Management 15 Landfill Gas Captured (MMBtu) 12,952,654 13,330,805 12,324,561 13,281,715 Methane Destruction through Landfill Gas Capture and Control Systems (tonnes CO 2 e) 7,063,378 7,269,593 6,720,865 7,242,822 Landfill Gas Flared (% of captured) 65% 70% 69% 66% Landfill Gas Recovered for Beneficial Use (% of captured) 35% 30% 30% 34% Landfill Gas Recovered for Beneficial Use (MMBtu) 4,466,712 4,011,694 3,750,239 4,527,067 16 14 Avoided emissions per million dollars of sales does not include carbon sequestered in our landfills. This value is calculated by dividing the GHG emissions avoided through our recyclables, organics and other recyclable waste streams plus renewable energy generation from our landfills, by our total revenue in CAD. 15 For consistent tracking of progress against our landfill gas recovered for beneficial use goal, all base year (2021) metrics listed under Landfill Gas Management have been recalculated to include acquisitions (net of divestitures), and other significant structural changes to our organization between January 1, 2021 and December 31, 2024. 16 In preparation for the transition to renewable energy projects in development at three landfills, landfill gas to electricity plants at these sites came offline in 2022-2023. Four RNG facilities were operational at the end of 2024. | DATA SUMMARY GFLENV.COM | 5
