Has the undertaking conducted a screening to determine if its assets and business activities are potentially exposed to transition events, as part of the process to identify and assess material climate-related impacts, risks, and opportunities? Please provide an explanation of whether and how transition events have been identified over the short-, medium-, and long-term, considering that long-term may extend beyond 10 years and align with climate-related public policy goals.

Question

Accepted Answer

Transition risks and opportunities are identified through literature review, and engagement of internal and external subject matter experts. A list of sector-specific risks only is applied, however, market and opportunities are identified alongside a list of sector-specific opportunities related to resource efficiency, energy sources, products, service, and markets.
Afterwards, these risks and opportunities are ranked based on their potential impact on Vestas using a consequence/likelihood scale. The assessment of the potential impact of the most material transition risks and opportunities is based on two different scenarios and assessed across three different time horizons; short term (one-five years), medium term (five-10 years), and long term (10-30 years).
