- Provide a detailed account of the decarbonisation levers identified and the key actions planned within your transition plan for climate change mitigation. This should include references to your GHG emission reduction targets and climate change mitigation actions, as specified in Disclosure Requirements E1-4 and E1-3. Additionally, elucidate any changes anticipated in your product and service portfolio, as well as the adoption of new technologies within your operations or across the upstream and/or downstream value chain.

Question Id: E1-1_03
Demant’s Transition Plan currently focuses on five decarbonisation levers, each including one or more mitigation actions:
Energy consumption reduction and efficiency in own operations
- Decrease in energy consumption
- Increase in energy efficiency
- Time horizon: From short to long term
- Geographical scope: Global
Renewable electricity for own operations
- Use of on-site renewable electricity
- Use of off-site renewable electricity
- Time horizon: From short to medium term
- Geographical scope: Global
Vehicle fleet electrification
- Transition to electric vehicles for already existing fleet in six prioritised European countries
- Transition to electric vehicles for fleet in remaining countries
- Time horizon: From short to long term
- Geographical scope: Global
Supplier engagement programme
- Setting a supplier target for improvement of the environmental performance of purchased goods and services
- Time horizon: From short to medium term
- Geographical scope: Global (determined by the location of the suppliers onboarded to the programme)
Use of less climate-intensive transport modes
- Shift from air freight transport to less climate intensive transport modes
- Time horizon: From short to long term
- Geographical scope: To be determined

- Provide a detailed explanation of how your organization ensures the consistency of its greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction targets with the established GHG inventory boundaries. This should include a disclosure of targets for Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions, whether reported separately or combined. If targets are combined, specify which GHG emission scopes are covered, the proportion related to each scope, and the specific GHGs included. Confirm that these targets are gross targets, excluding GHG removals, carbon credits, or avoided emissions as methods to achieve the reduction targets, in accordance with Disclosure Requirement E1-6.

Question Id: E1-4_18
Demant submitted its climate targets for validation to the SBTi in 2021, using 2019 as the baseline year, since it provided the latest available data before coronavirus disrupted business operations. Demant does not consider GHG emissions removals, carbon credits and avoided GHG emissions as means of achieving the required GHG emissions levels in the near or long term. Aligned with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, the GHGs considered in the targets are:
- Carbon dioxide – CO2
- Methane – CH4
- Nitrous oxide – N2O
- Hydrofluorocarbons – HFCs
- Perfluorocarbons – PFCs
- Sulphur hexafluoride – SF6
- Nitrogen trifluoride – NF3
Regarding the link between the climate targets and the decarbonisation levers, for the near-term target in scope 1 and 2, the energy consumption reduction and efficiency in own operations (lever 1), along with the phase-in of renewable electricity for own operations (lever 2), will enable the required reduction by 2030.
