The sustainability statements have been prepared on a consolidated basis. The data is consolidated according to the same principles as the financial statements and thus comprises the parent company Ørsted A/S and subsidiaries controlled by Ørsted A/S.

The sustainability statements cover our upstream and downstream value chain as the related impacts, risks, and opportunities have been identified and assessed in our DMA. Selected policies, actions, and targets extend to our value chain, where relevant.

The tables to the right and on the following pages list all of the ESRS disclosure requirements in ESRS 2 and the seven topical ESRS standards which are material to Ørsted, and which have guided the preparation of our sustainability statements. They can be used to navigate to information relating to a specific ESRS disclosure requirement (e.g. BP-1) or to our ‘entity specific data points’. They also show where to find information relating to specific disclosure requirements that lie outside of the sustainability statements and is ‘incorporated by reference’.

We have omitted 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.

The structure of the ESRS topics in our report includes sections on value chain illustration, further details of our IROs, transition plan, policies and approaches, actions, targets, and metrics. Specific targets related to biodiversity and ecosystems are mentioned under E4-4 and E4-5, which include targets related to biodiversity and ecosystems and impact metrics related to biodiversity and ecosystems change.

The structure of the ESRS topics in our report includes sections on policies and approaches, which cover relevant policies per topic and approaches to stakeholder engagement for S1, S2, and S3. Specific policies related to biodiversity and ecosystems are mentioned under E4-2, which includes policies related to biodiversity and ecosystems.
