- 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.

Question Id: E1-4_21
The Science-Based Target initiative validated our near-term emission reduction target in 2023, which implies reductions across scope 1 and 2 by 46.5%, and reductions in scope 3 by 27.6% by 2030. For 2025, our goal is to achieve a 4.7% reduction from our baseline in each of Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. Throughout 2025, we will also establish specific reduction targets for individual Scope 3 categories. This effort is part of our broader strategy to meet our near-term target for 2030 and our net-zero ambitions in the long run. In 2022, we committed to becoming net-zero by 2030 across scope 1 and 2 (market-based) and by 2040 across scope 3 categories. These net-zero targets are set in-house and are in addition to our validated near-term targets. Our net-zero targets are measured against a 2019 baseline, which we believe is unaffected by extraordinary events or circumstances, unlike the Covid-19 effects that impacted 2020. Our net-zero targets assume an absolute reduction of at least 90% of our carbon emissions against the 2019 baseline. This includes an absolute reduction of 90% for each of scope 1 and 2 by 2030, and for scope 3 by 2040. These targets do not adjust for future developments.
