- Provide a qualitative assessment of the potential locked-in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from your company's key assets and products. Explain whether and how these emissions could jeopardize the achievement of your GHG emission reduction targets and contribute to transition risk. Additionally, if applicable, describe your company's plans to manage its GHG-intensive and energy-intensive assets and products.

Question Id: E1-1_07
An estimated 41,792 tCO2e are locked-in emissions from the use of GN products sold in 2024, which currently makes up 16% of our total Scope 3 emissions (see page 75). These use phase emissions could still be reduced through firmware updates in the market, but it remains difficult to quantify potential emissions reductions from such initiatives. As these emissions are a result of electricity consumption, we expect significant reduction to take place as a result of the global shift towards renewable energy as part of the transition to a net-zero economy outside GN’s direct control. Given the general duration of use of our products, we don’t expect these locked-in emissions to prevent us from reaching net-zero in 2050, regardless of the pace of the transition to renewable energy.

- 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
GN has set Board-approved science-based GHG emission reduction targets. They are committed to reducing absolute GHG emissions (metric tons CO2eq) in Scope 1 and 2 by 80% and in Scope 3 by 25% by 2030 from a 2021 baseline. GN is also committed to reaching net-zero GHG emissions by 2050 at the latest, meaning 90% reduction with neutralization of unabated emissions to reach net zero. The targets cover all GHGs stipulated in the GHG Protocol and all activities in GN’s own operations and value chain globally.
