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.

We have omitted all the disclosure requirements in the topical standards ESRS ‘E2 Pollution’, ESRS ‘E3 Water and marine resources’, and ESRS ‘S4 Consumers and end-users’, as these topics were deemed immaterial in our DMA. For ESRS E2 and ESRS E3, we identified and assessed impacts, risks, and opportunities following the same methodology and process steps as for the topics deemed material. This was informed by environmental impact assessments, risk registers, reported data, and other documentation, such as asset-specific conditions for management of pollution and water imposed by local authorities, which is particularly relevant for our CHP plants. However, none of the identified IROs were assessed as material for these two topics due to the high minimum environmental requirements imposed by authorities in the countries where we operate our assets.
