- Provide a qualitative assessment of the potential locked-in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from your company's key assets and products. Explain whether and how these emissions could jeopardize the achievement of your GHG emission reduction targets and contribute to transition risk. Additionally, if applicable, describe your company's plans to manage its GHG-intensive and energy-intensive assets and products.

Question Id: E1-1_07
We recognise the importance of tackling the impacts of our legacy business, as locked-in emissions pose a significant transition challenge if left unaddressed. To guide progress toward our net-zero goals, we have set an absolute emissions reduction target for scope 3 emissions from gas sales, aiming to reduce emissions by ~67% by 2030 (baseline 2018) and by ~90% by 2040. To mitigate potential risks associated with locked-in emissions, we focus on measurable performance and avoiding additional locked-in emissions by not entering into new gas sourcing agreements that would contribute to additional locked-in emissions.

- Has the company evaluated the extent to which its assets and business activities are exposed and sensitive to identified climate-related hazards? This evaluation should consider the likelihood, magnitude, and duration of these hazards, as well as the geospatial coordinates specific to the company's locations and supply chains, in accordance with Disclosure Requirement E1-9 and ESRS 2 IRO-1. Additionally, clarify whether the anticipated financial effects from material physical and transition risks, as well as potential climate-related opportunities, have been assessed, noting that quantification of financial effects from opportunities is not mandatory if it does not meet the qualitative characteristics of useful information as outlined in ESRS 1 Appendix B.

The results of the physical climate risk assessment show that all our assets are structurally protected against physical risks from climate change. This is achieved through a combination of design safeguards and mitigation measures, including active collaboration with wind turbine manufacturers to tailor designs to local conditions, and conducting stress tests for extreme scenarios during the design process.
