- Provide a comprehensive list of material sites within your operational control, derived from the identification and assessment of actual and potential impacts on biodiversity and ecosystems. This disclosure should include a detailed breakdown of these sites according to the impacts and dependencies identified, as well as the ecological status of the areas, referencing the specific ecosystem baseline level where they are situated.

Question Id: E4.SBM-3_03
In total, we have 63 operational sites across our portfolio of renewable energy assets (i.e. offshore and onshore wind, solar PV, and power stations) that currently overlap with or are adjacent to protected areas or KBAs. This is the majority of our assets and is connected to the fact that a buffer zone has been applied (25 km for offshore assets, 10 km for onshore assets), increasing the amount of overlaps with both protected areas and KBAs. Through our mitigation planning and restoration of impacts, we have found that we have no negative impacts on biodiversity and ecosystems at these sites. In addition to the operational sites, we had 12 assets under construction in 2024, which were identified as material sites that temporarily have activities negatively affecting biodiversity-sensitive areas. These sites are listed in the table on page 114 and include nine offshore wind and three solar PV projects.
