- 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.

The GHG emission targets were approved by the Executive Board together with the Sustainability Plan 2025 as a fundamental commitment. These greenhouse gas reduction targets based on climate scenarios are science-based and were developed with external experts in line with the 1.5 degree target in the Paris Climate Agreement on the basis of the requirements of the SBTi. However, they have not yet been externally verified. The base year of 2019 was selected due to the COVID pandemic, as our business in that year was not affected by significant external factors. By tracking our emissions in the material Scope 1, 2 and 3 categories described above on a quarterly basis in accordance with the GHG Protocol, we ensure that our targets are consistent with the limits of our greenhouse gas inventory while measuring the effectiveness of our decarbonization levers (actions). Decarbonization requires significant technological advancements, particularly in construction materials as well as machinery and equipment. We are very much dependent on our suppliers in this respect and will be working with them to help drive these advancements forward. Due to the strong interactions and cross-scope effects between the various decarbonization levers, the individual reduction contributions cannot be precisely estimated. The current status with regard to the targets directly reflects the progress of our transition plan.

- Has the undertaking set GHG emission reduction targets, and if so, what is the current base year and baseline value? Additionally, from 2030 onwards, has the undertaking updated the base year for its GHG emission reduction targets every five years? Furthermore, is there any past progress made in meeting these targets before the current base year, and is this information consistent with the requirements of this Standard?

- Provide a detailed explanation of how the newly established baseline value influences the revised target, its attainment, and the depiction of progress over time. Ensure that any changes to the baseline value or base year are justified by significant alterations in either the target or the reporting boundary. Additionally, confirm that the selected base year for new targets does not precede the first reporting year of the new target period by more than three years, to maintain comparability.

- Has the undertaking established GHG emission reduction targets that are science-based and aligned with the objective of limiting global warming to 1.5°C? Specify the framework and methodology utilized to determine these targets, including whether they follow a sectoral decarbonisation pathway. Detail the underlying climate and policy scenarios, and confirm if the targets have undergone external assurance. Additionally, provide a concise explanation of how future developments, such as changes in sales volumes, shifts in customer preferences and demand, regulatory factors, and new technologies, have been considered in setting these targets and their potential impact on both GHG emissions and emissions reductions.

- Provide a detailed description of the expected decarbonisation levers and their overall quantitative contributions towards achieving the GHG emission reduction targets, as outlined in Disclosure Requirement E1-4 concerning climate change mitigation and adaptation. Include specific strategies such as energy or material efficiency, consumption reduction, fuel switching, utilization of renewable energy, and the phase-out or substitution of products and processes.

Up to the end of the reporting year, we had already reduced absolute Scope 1 emissions by 159,493 metric tons compared to 2019, our base year, corresponding to a 43% reduction. Taking into account our increased sales, we have reduced Scope 1 intensity by no less than 52% compared to 2019. We achieved this significant reduction through extensive project-level and Group-wide initiatives. Action taken to increase the efficiency of machinery, equipment, and processes has led to significant energy savings. We have also cut emissions by phasing in the use of alternative fuels (such as HVO). Switching from fossil fueled to electric (and in some cases hybrid) vehicles and equipment has also reduced emissions. This means we are well on track and we expect to further reduce emissions and achieve our targets in the years ahead.

- Has the undertaking considered a diverse range of climate scenarios, including at least one scenario compatible with limiting global warming to 1.5°C, to identify relevant environmental, societal, technology, market, and policy-related developments and determine its decarbonisation levers, as required under Disclosure Requirement E1-4? Additionally, if applicable, provide an explanation of the anticipated financial effects from material physical and transition risks and potential climate-related opportunities as outlined in Disclosure Requirement E1-9, ensuring that the disclosure aligns with the qualitative characteristics of useful information as specified in ESRS 1 Appendix B.
