The EU Taxonomy identifies six environmental objectives, including climate change mitigation and adaptation. Taxonomy-aligned activities are those that comply with the requirements laid down in Article 3 of the Taxonomy Regulation. Our reporting requirements under Article 8 of the Taxonomy Regulation require non-financial undertakings to disclose information on the proportion of the turnover, capital expenditure, and operating expenditure of their activities related to assets or processes associated with environmentally sustainable economic activities.

We recognize the critical importance of addressing residual emissions by supporting certified carbon avoidance projects through the purchase of carbon avoidance credits. By combining emission reduction measures with climate contributions to certified carbon avoidance projects, we have achieved Carbon Neutrality for Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions in all our operations for 2021, 2022, and 2023. As our planned reduction initiatives continue to drive a sustained decrease in emissions by at least 90 percent of our Scope 1 and 2 absolute CO2eq emissions by 2030 versus 2021, we will progressively adjust our climate contribution activities accordingly.
