Question Id: E1-1_13
Our approach to resilience analysis consists of two main components: assessing and managing transition risks and opportunities, and conducting physical climate risk assessments. Transition risks stem from a shift to a low-carbon economy and encompass factors such as new regulations, technological innovation, changing market dynamics, and shifting consumer preferences. We have effectively mitigated these risks by transforming our business model from fossil fuels to renewable energy, aligning our operations with a 1.5 °C climate trajectory. This proactive shift has positioned us well to capitalise on the increasing demand for renewable energy deployment.

While we do not have a stand-alone climate policy, our commitment to mitigating climate change, deploying renewable energy, and promoting efficient energy systems is embedded in our sustainability commitment. Introduced in 2016, this commitment reflects a systems-based approach to addressing climate change, recognising that social and governance factors are critical to successfully delivering reliable and modern energy systems to society. This perspective is applied across our organisation and is also reflected in our ‘Code of conduct for business partners’. The sustainability commitment is overseen by the Group Executive Team. While the sustainability commitment does not outline the specific steps required to address the identified IROs, it has effectively set the direction for our first transition wave: shifting away from fossil fuels. To ensure continued alignment with our strategy and vision, we have incorporated climate-related KPIs in the remuneration framework of the Group Executive Team. In 2024, the short-term bonus programme includes metrics linked to scope 1 and 2 emissions reductions and the external climate rating from the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP).
