1 Sum of greenhouse gas emissions for the current base year in tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (t CO 2e) per € million of
revenue for the same base year.
2 As part of the double materiality assessment, ESG-related opportunities, risks and impacts are analysed for all fully consoli-
dated companies (for the first time for the 2024 financial year).
3 Within the framework of the EU Taxonomy and the CSRD, a climate risk analysis is carried out, which includes an analysis of
water-related climate risks. This covers the core activities represented by the following companies: EWE AG, be.storaged,
EWE TRADING, EWE VERTRIEB, EWE TEL, EWE Go, BTC, ALTERRIC, EWE NETZ, EWE GASSPEICHER, EWE WASSER, swb Services,
swb Erzeugung & Entsorgung and wesernetz.
4 In relation to the core activities represented by the following companies: EWE AG, be.storaged, EWE TRADING, EWE VER-
TRIEB, EWE TEL, EWE Go, BTC, ALTERRIC, EWE NETZ, EWE GASSPEICHER, EWE WASSER, swb Services, swb Erzeugung & En-
tsorgung and wesernetz.
5 An environmental violation is deemed to have occurred where a final penalty order has been issued or a fine exceeding
€50,000 has been imposed.
