All electricity purchased and consumed by Ørsted is covered with certificates, ensuring it has been produced using renewable sources. Therefore, our market-based scope 2 GHG emissions from power consumption amounted to zero tonnes carbon dioxide equivalents. We cover 100% of our own electricity consumption with unbundled renewable electricity certificates.

GHG emissions outside of scopes 1-3 are not relevant for Ørsted.

Use of sold products (category 11) emissions from end-use of gas. Capital goods (category 2) wind farms, offshore. The model is based on the ISO 14040/44 life cycle assessment standard and applied in the openLCA software. The modeling is conducted using the Environmental Footprint 3.0 LCIA (life cycle impact assessment) method, and the impacts of each activity/material come from the ecoinvent environmental database, version 3.8.

GHG intensity based on energy generation is calculated as the total scope 1, 2 (market-based), and scope 3 (excluding gas sales) emissions divided by total heat and power generation. The calculation of GHG intensity based on net revenue divides the total scope 1-3 GHG emissions (numerator) with the total net revenue as shown in the financial statements (denominator).

Incorporating climate-related considerations into the executive remuneration framework ensures that incentives are aligned with both financial performance and climate objectives. A portion of executive remuneration is linked to climate-specific considerations, including scope 1-2 emissions intensity target. The proportion of recognised remuneration linked to these climate-specific considerations was 1.9% for the CEO, with corresponding figures for the Executive Board as follows: 1.6% for the CCO, 1.4% for the CFO, and 1.5% for the Chief HR Officer. Further details on the methodology, including how climate-related performance is factored into remuneration, can be found in our remuneration report.

We continue to leverage advanced technologies and scalable solutions to optimise renewable energy integration and supply chain decarbonisation, as outlined in our innovation report. Additionally, as highlighted in our first climate advocacy report, we actively engage in shaping policies to align global energy needs with the 1.5 °C goal set by the Paris Agreement. The climate advocacy report includes an assessment of our most important industry associations in terms of their alignment with this goal.

Physical climate risks are managed through our 'Enterprise risk management (ERM) framework', supported by dedicated teams. This framework provides a high-level, principle-based structure for addressing all risks to which Ørsted may be exposed. The ERM framework sets the standards for individual risk frameworks across the organisation, ensuring that risks are identified and managed in line with the appetite for risk.
