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.

For offshore wind farms, a buffer zone of 25 km is applied, whereas the buffer zone is 10 km for onshore wind and solar farms. These buffers have been determined based on best practice rooted in science and to recognize relevant interactions with protected areas for nature conservation or key biodiversity areas.
