Transition plan for climate change mitigation We take science-based climate action(s) - We aim for science-based climate action and continue the journey to net zero. Our 2025 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions target is in line with limiting global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. By reducing our carbon footprint and developing solutions that contribute to tackling climate change, we aim to protect the planet for future generations. Carbon reduction target: -62% achieved in 2024 vs 2015 baseline, with target of -45% by 2025. Energy consumption from renewable sources: 70% achieved in 2024, with target of 75% by 2027.
BBVASpain
BBVA has defined a decarbonization strategy for its portfolio alignment and has developed a management model to monitor decarbonization objectives. BBVA has set decarbonization targets for 11 high-emission sectors with intermediate objectives for 2030 and the goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2050. The sectors covered include: Oil & Gas (upstream), Power generation, Auto (manufacturers), Steel (manufacturers), Cement (manufacturers), Coal (thermal coal mining), Aviation (airlines), Shipping (operators), Real estate (commercial), Real estate (residential), Aluminum (primary manufacturing). In 2024, BBVA has published new decarbonization targets for three additional sectors, aluminum and residential and commercial real estate in Spain. By 2024, 91% of the loan portfolio in high-emission sectors has a Transition Risk Indicator (TRi). BBVA has created a Sustainability Alignment Steering Group (SASG) to make proposals and monitor the alignment objectives of the sectors for which specific objectives have been set and to supervise their compliance. BBVA recognizes a major challenge since meeting the objectives of decarbonization or aligning their portfolios depends, to a large extent, on the actions of third parties, such as customers, governments and other stakeholders.
Danica PensionDenmark
Danica is part of the Danske Bank Group, and Danica's climate targets form part of the Group's Climate Action Plan, which is a strategy and roadmap for the Group, including Danica, to achieve a net-zero business aligned with the Paris Agreement. Danica does not yet have a transition plan that fully complies with the ESRS disclosure requirements in relation to transition plans. During 2025, Danica expects to collaborate with the Group on developing a group-wide transition plan that is in compliance with the ESRSs disclosure requirements in relation to transition plans. The transition plan will include Danica and be based on the climate targets and actions in the Climate Action Plan, which forms part of the overall business strategy. The Group's Climate Action Plan covers Danica's climate targets and measures for equity and bond investments in relation to decarbonisation targets for five sectors and Science Based Target initiative SBTi temperature targets, green transition investment targets for the entire investment portfolio and decarbonisation targets for the real estate portfolio. Danica's target of having a net-zero investment portfolio by 2050 or earlier is anchored with and part of the Danske Bank Group's Climate Action Plan, which was launched in 2023 as a transition plan toward Net Zero for the Danske Bank Group in line with the Paris Agreement. The plan describes primary interim targets and actions to deliver on the 2050 target. The plan is in accordance with Danica's business strategy and constitutes the first step toward a transition plan for Danica.

Climate transition plan described on pages 67-76. GN is committed to protecting our planet by reaching our 2030 climate goals and having net-zero emissions by 2050, in line with the scientific consensus on the need to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. We are focused on product and service development that will help us achieve this target and support the transition to a circular economy. GN has set science-based targets including: 58% reduction in scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions vs 2021; 26% reduction in scope 3 carbon emissions vs 2021. The transition plan includes measures across operations, supply chain, and product development.
KoneFinland
KONE is committed to a 50% cut in the Scope 1 and 2 emissions from its own operations by 2030, compared to a 2018 baseline, and has pledged to have carbon neutral operations by 2030. This target is in line with limiting global warming to 1.5°C, which is currently the most ambitious criteria for setting science-based targets. Additionally, KONE targets a 40% reduction in the emissions related to its products' materials and lifetime energy use (Scope 3 emissions) over the same period, relative to orders received. KONE's new strategy has a strong emphasis on emission reduction targets as one of the core strategic shifts. To support the ongoing green transformation, KONE has a Climate and Environmental Excellence Program which is centered around four focus areas: partner with customer, offering, operations, and mindset and behavior. All of KONE's emissions reduction activities in 2024 are aligned with its climate change scenario analysis work to ensure long-term success in line with the 1.5°C pathway of the Paris Agreement. KONE's constant focus is on actual emission reductions both in its own operations and in products and value chain. However, to reach carbon neutral operations by 2030, KONE is planning to compensate the remaining emissions. KONE has identified the following key decarbonization levers to reach its science-based targets by 2030 in its own operations (Scope 1 and 2) and value chain (Scope 3): • Scope 1: fleet transformation to electrical vehicles (EVs) and increasing use of renewable energy • Scope 2: increase use of renewable electricity and other renewable energy sources • Scope 3: increase share of energy-efficient electrification systems and regenerative drives, increase material efficiency, systematically engaging with suppliers, product innovations and partnerships
Norsk HydroNorway
Hydro's target is to be a net-zero company by 2050 or earlier, delivering net-zero products and enabling a net-zero society. Based on a 2018 baseline, Hydro targets 10 percent reduction of total scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2025, and 30 percent by 2030. Hydro also targets a 15 percent reduction in upstream scope 3 emissions by 2030 and 30 percent reduction in upstream scope 3 emissions per tonnes aluminium delivered to market by 2030.
Novo NordiskDenmark
We have made significant progress in reducing our scope 1 and 2 emissions since 2019. However, our scope 3 emissions, which comprise about 96% of our total emissions, continue to rise as we grow to meet increasing demand for our medicines. To achieve net zero emissions by 2045, we have a roadmap to reduce scope 3 emissions by 33% by 2033, using 2024 as the baseline. This target – which covers nearly 70% of our scope 3 emissions in accordance with Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) provisions – is aligned with climate science and has been submitted to the SBTi for validation. Key decarbonisation measures include switching to low-carbon materials and feedstock across our production network, shifting our distribution model to low-emissions transportation and supporting our suppliers in transitioning to renewable energy. To date, more than 1,800 suppliers have already committed to make the switch.
Royal SchipholNetherlands
RSG has established a comprehensive transition plan for climate change mitigation as part of its Most Sustainable Airports roadmap with objectives to be achieved by 2030 and towards 2050. The plan includes targets aligned with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to remain within planetary boundaries. RSG has achieved net-zero for Scope 1 and 2 emissions two years ago, primarily through the shift to 100% Dutch wind and solar electricity in 2018. The company continues efforts to phase out natural gas (Scope 1) by delivering central ATES systems for heat and cold storage. For Scope 3 emissions, RSG works with partners to reduce HVO100 fuel consumption for ground operations. The transition plan addresses the challenge that keeping emissions from outbound flights below 2005 levels by 2030 requires accelerated innovation and scaling up efforts. RSG actively participates in policy-shaping and invests in R&D for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and hydrogen propulsion through partnerships like the TULIPS alliance.
VestasDenmark
We have set a target to achieve carbon neutrality of our own operations by 2030 – without using carbon offsets, and to reduce the GHG intensity of our supply chain by 45 percent by 2030, from a 2019 baseline. This involves a concerted effort to transition our vehicles and vessels to run on electricity or renewable sources, procure 100 percent renewable electricity, and procure low-emission materials, among others. Our current projections tell us that we will not be able to deliver on the 2025 target to reduce GHG emissions by 55 percent by 2025, however we will continue to adapt our strategy and transition plan to stay in alignment with the Paris Agreement. To achieve this, we plan to seek a revalidation of our targets in 2025, considering our new scope of operations, which includes our offshore activities, and complying with the SBTi five-year revalidation requirement.

Danica PensionDenmark
Climate stress testing of the investment portfolio: In the short and long term, climate change could expose the investment portfolio to a number of risks, which Danica's business and risk management system must gradually adapt to in order to mitigate climate change. In January 2024, Danica performed a climate stress test of equities and credit bonds in the investment portfolio on the basis of scenario values from the end of 2022. The climate stress test indicated that assets in the Danica Balance pension product were to some extent exposed to climate risk. Investment process: ESG and climate aspects are included in the investment process from a double materiality perspective. This supports Danica in: managing and mitigating physical risks and transition risks related to climate aspects that could have a negative impact on the return potential of the investments, reallocating investments on an ongoing basis to companies and other assets that support the green transition and have a positive return potential, reducing the negative impact of the investment portfolio on societal sustainability and climate change. Active ownership: Danica exercises active ownership with the aim of influencing and supporting portfolio companies to continuously improve their climate plans and address business-relevant climate risks and opportunities, including PAI. It does so through direct engagement, voting at general meetings and participation in various climate-focused investor associations. In 2024, climate aspects such as energy transition, CO2e emissions and climate neutrality were once again among the topics most often discussed with portfolio companies.

KoneFinland
KONE aims to adapt to the physical impacts of climate change by harmonizing the engineering, delivery and manufacturing structures of its existing and new products. This helps KONE to maintain and improve its resilience when the delivery chain or logistics routes may be disrupted and material or component suppliers, KONE factories, distribution centers or logistics routes for shipments need to be quickly replaced with feasible alternatives. In 2024, KONE conducted the first phase release of product harmonization which will be followed with selected component harmonization implementations in Europe and Americas in 2025. In 2024, KONE conducted simulated crisis and business continuity management exercises at some of its manufacturing facilities to ensure business continuity and to reduce the impact and likelihood of disruptions within its full delivery chain. While KONE's 10 manufacturing facilities in seven countries, multiple distribution centers and a large supplier network across the globe help to mitigate the impacts from potential disruptions in individual locations or countries, KONE aims to secure the availability of supply by implementing alternative sourcing channels, long-term agreements, and last-buy options for critical components and services. KONE also has a global property damage and business interruption insurance program in place. In terms of downstream adaptation, KONE continuously develops services, which help its customers with weather event loss prevention, stand-by maintenance during events and post-event status check and repairs. During the reporting year 2024, KONE has successfully implemented emission reduction activities by investing into the energy efficiency of KONE's solutions, increasing, and expanding the low carbon offering and engaging with suppliers to improve material efficiency in its solutions. The emissions reduction activities will be continued in 2025 and beyond to ensure KONE meets its 2030 targets. KONE focuses on decreasing Scope 1 emissions by primarily transitioning to zero and low emission vehicle fleet or no fleet. KONE's vehicle fleet accounts for approximately 95% (2023: 92%) of its Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions. The total carbon footprint of KONE's vehicle fleet decreased by 2% compared to 2023 and decreased by 4% compared to its 2018 emissions (109,000 tCO2e). During 2024, KONE developed a comprehensive plan to reduce vehicle emissions in collaboration with its partners by for example identifying the technicians who could utilize electrical vehicles (EVs), incorporating EVs in subsidiaries local car policies, encouraging KONE employees to select low-emission vehicles and providing EV charging points. Accelerating the transition to electric vehicles is imperative to achieve KONE's 2030 reduction targets. KONE's ten global manufacturing units have reduced their net Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 83% (2023: 81%) at the end of 2024 compared to the 2018 baseline. In 2024, solar panels were used in six out of ten manufacturing units and green district heating in one manufacturing unit. All units have been purchasing 100% renewable electricity since the beginning of 2023. In 2024, KONE also increased the use of biofuels in its facilities in North America and continued to optimize energy usage in heating, ventilation, air conditioning and lighting systems in KONE's manufacturing units. KONE has also invested in manufacturing line robotics and automation to further improve both the material and energy efficiency of its manufacturing process. In addition, KONE has taken significant actions to reduce market-based Scope 2 emissions by systematically improving energy efficiency and increasing the use of renewable electricity across its facilities. KONE's total energy consumption remained stable in 2024 compared to 2023 and increased by 6% compared to 2018. During 2024 and onward, one of the major contributing emissions reduction factors is further improved energy efficiency of KONE's products. This was achieved, for instance, through an increased share of energy-efficient electrification systems and regenerative drives in ordered elevators and systematically engaging with suppliers to increase the material efficiency of KONE's solutions. KONE also collaborates with its suppliers to increase the recycled content in the materials used for KONE's products. KONE actively looks for new partners and ways of working to find alternative materials with lower embodied carbon emissions and to develop processes to reuse and recycle materials more effectively. In 2024, KONE launched KONE Energy Management feature which optimizes energy consumption of elevator groups over passenger waiting time and time to destination in off-peak hours while minimizing the waiting time and time to destination during peak hours. This results in annual energy savings in elevator groups due to optimized energy use during low-traffic periods. Additionally, KONE Service Business introduced KONE Remote Services which enables resolving issues remotely. This lowers the need for service site visits and KONE technicians driving between the sites, resulting in GHG emission reductions. KONE's offering also holds the widest range of externally assured product information in the industry, such as Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) in compliance with the EN 15804 standard, and energy efficiency documentation according to ISO 25745. In 2024, KONE published six (2023: four) EPDs and had in total 27 (2023: 21) third-party verified EPDs. Through Health Product Declarations (HPDs), KONE also provides information about the material content and associated health effects of its products, responding to a growing need for healthier living environments. By 2024, KONE holds a total of six HPDs. KONE was the first in the industry to launch a carbon neutral service offering, the KONE Care DX, in 2021. By 2024, KONE has introduced a carbon-neutral elevator and escalator and continued to expand its carbon neutral offering to further markets. In the future, KONE aims to increase the number of elevators with regenerative drive-in line with the company's ambitious emission reduction targets, thus also increasing the Taxonomy-aligned share of revenue. In 2024, KONE identified its suppliers accounting for the majority of KONE's Scope 3 emissions from purchased goods, and actively collaborates with them to reduce these emissions. This collaboration entails actions such as continuous dialogue with suppliers, emissions reporting development, emission reduction targets setting and supplier trainings. From 2025 onwards, KONE will start to measure the commitment of its suppliers in reducing their CO2 emissions. Requirements for smart and sustainable materials, solutions and buildings are increasing, presenting KONE with sustainable growth opportunities. To understand the emerging needs and technologies in sustainable, resilient urban environments and people's behavior in them, KONE actively participates in large-scale research projects and consortiums, such as Veturi, which is a four-year innovation program, co-funded with Business Finland. In this program, KONE collaborates with customers and partners to tackle climate change and urbanization challenges to create smart and sustainable cities. Internally, KONE promotes environmental and climate actions, for example, during dedicated theme days. During 2024, KONE continued to grow awareness and ownership of its environmental targets and progress. The company organized for example sustainability and climate-related information sharing and training sessions for various employee groups. KONE also responds to customers' increasing demand for sustainable products and services.

KoneFinland
KONE's science-based targets for Scope 1 and 2 as well as Scope 3 were set in 2020, validated by the Executive Board and approved by the Board of Directors. The aim was to align KONE's emission reduction activities with the overall business strategy and financial planning. The science-based targets cover 100% of KONE's Scope 1 and market-based Scope 2 emissions and almost 99% of KONE's Scope 3 emissions (category 1: purchased goods and services and category 11: use of sold products). The science-based targets coupled with annual renewable electricity and carbon neutral operation targets form KONE's emission reduction plan and its global Climate Pledge to drive the needed emission reduction activities in both KONE's own operations and related to its products and value chain. KONE's strategy and business model are compatible with the transition to a sustainable economy, and with the limiting of global warming to 1.5 °C in line with the Paris Agreement. The science-based targets were set in collaboration with relevant internal stakeholders and global business units including R&D, Innovation and procurement. In addition, Science Based Target initiative (SBTi) standards and criteria were followed at the time in line with a cross-sector emission pathway compatible with limiting global warming to 1.5°C accounting for business growth in different geographical areas and business lines. The 2018 baseline was chosen in line with SBTi guidelines and criteria for a representative year which covered the most recent period for which the data was available at the time. SBTi has assessed and approved the targets, and the progress against the targets is externally assured annually. The emission reduction roadmap and business growth estimations are also reviewed annually to align with KONE's overall business outlook.

RSG reports CO2e emissions across Scope 1, Scope 2 and selected Scope 3 categories. The TPI Sustainability shows -65% CO2e emissions reduction compared to 2019 levels, meeting the 2024 target. Scope 1 emissions include natural gas and fuels used by own vehicle fleet. Scope 2 emissions are zero on a market-based method due to 100% renewable electricity procurement since 2018. Selected Scope 3 items include natural gas used by third parties in buildings owned by Schiphol Commercial with their own environmental permits, airside fuels, commuter traffic and business travel by own car or aircraft. The historic overview shows significant reduction in absolute emissions even as passenger numbers recovered. Total CO2e emissions from all scopes combined demonstrate substantial progress toward the net-zero target by 2030 for own operations. Scope 3 emissions remain challenging to reduce, particularly kerosene-related emissions from aircraft operations, which require industry-wide collaboration and technological innovation.

MapfreSpain
MAPFRE faces significant risks due to climate change, especially in relation to natural disasters that may increase in frequency and severity, impacting claims and the resources needed for their management. To address these risks, specialized reports and control systems are used to manage exposure to catastrophic risks, determining maximum underwriting capacities per risk and event. In 2021, MAPFRE implemented the ExpoCat tool for georeferencing and controlling catastrophic exposures, improving information management and decision-making. Additionally, the Group's reinsurer, MAPFRE RE, is responsible for placing reinsurance protections to mitigate catastrophic risks, ensuring that the Group can withstand losses without compromising its solvency. Furthermore, the increase in climate risk could potentially introduce material uncertainty in the assumptions and lead to an inaccurate assessment of insurance risk.
Royal SchipholNetherlands
RSG recognises that climate change poses significant financial risks and opportunities. Extreme weather events cause disruption to airport performance, pose risks to employee and passenger health, and can cause serious damage to assets. Since the aviation network is global, RSG airports can be impacted by situations at other airports. Climate change affects flight times, delays and kerosene consumption, all with financial implications. The company's goal for 2025 includes quantifying the financial impact of climate change on new and existing assets. RSG accepts a certain level of climate risk due to inability to completely shield airports from extreme weather events. Physical risks include infrastructure damage from extreme weather, while transition risks include regulatory changes and shifting market demands. Climate-related opportunities include potential competitive advantages from early adoption of sustainable technologies and meeting evolving customer expectations for environmental responsibility. The 6 billion euro investment programme includes climate adaptation and mitigation measures to address these financial risks and opportunities.
