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 sustainability statement provides a mapping of the due diligence process as follows:

• Embedding due diligence in governance, strategy, and business model: The Human Rights Task Force oversees the integration of due diligence across procurement, operations, and communities. This is detailed in the General section on pages 63-66.

• Engaging with affected stakeholders in all key steps of due diligence: Continuous dialogue and collaboration with employees, value chain workers, local communities, and at-risk groups are maintained. This is detailed in the General section on pages 75-76 and the Social section on pages 129-131, 140-141, 149-150.

• Identifying and assessing adverse impacts: The double materiality assessment (DMA) identifies material adverse impacts in the business and value chain. Systematic impact assessments, risk screenings, and code of conduct assessments are conducted in the value chain. This is detailed in the General section on pages 68-72 and the Social section on pages 125-126, 138-139, 141, 144, 146-148.

• Taking actions to address adverse impacts: Specific actions are taken to address material impacts identified in the DMA. Collaboration with business partners to identify performance gaps, develop and implement corrective action plans, work on strengthening pre-contractual screenings, and engage in partnerships to enhance adherence to the code of conduct are part of this process. This is detailed in the Social section on pages 128-129, 142-143, 150-151.

• Tracking the effectiveness of these efforts and communicating: Key metrics are annually reported, and efforts to enhance supply chain traceability are made. This is detailed in the Social section on pages 131-136, 142, 144.
