Question Id: E3-5_04
We have outlined all the disclosure requirements in the topical standards ESRS ‘E2 Pollution’, ESRS ‘E3 Water and marine resources’, and ESRS ‘S4 Consumers and end-users’, as these topics were deemed immaterial in our DMA. For ESRS E2 and ESRS E3, we identified and assessed impacts, risks, and opportunities following the same methodology and process steps as for the topics deemed material. This was informed by environmental impact assessments, risk registers, reported data, and other documentation, such as asset-specific conditions for management of pollution and water imposed by local authorities, which is particularly relevant for our CHP plants. However, none of the identified IROs were assessed as material for these two topics due to the high minimum environmental requirements imposed by authorities in the countries where we operate our assets.

- Provide a detailed description of the products and services within your organization that are at risk due to material water and marine resources-related factors. Include an assessment of these risks over the short-, medium-, and long-term. Explain the criteria used to define these products and services, the methodology for estimating financial impacts, and any critical assumptions underlying these estimations.

Question Id: E4-1_01
We have not identified any material dependencies on biodiversity and ecosystems, although soil stability at our sites constitutes the most significant dependency. Regarding our transitional and physical risks, we have mapped out our exposure and have not found significant risks from biodiversity and ecosystems that are not already covered in our mitigation processes and biodiversity action plans. Additionally, we have not identified any systemic risks to our business model that are not addressed through our established practices or the implementation of measures to reach our biodiversity ambition.

Question Id: E4-1_02
Through our double materiality assessment (DMA), we have identified material biodiversity-related impacts and an opportunity in our business, both in our own operations and in our value chain. Identifying and assessing these impacts help us to understand how we can continue to strengthen resilience across our operations, which we also assess using the methodology of the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD).
