(IFRS S2) To assess climate-related risks, since 2023, we have engaged with Risilience, an enterprise risk management specialist. This partnership allows us to assess our exposure to climate-related risks and opportunities under different global average-temperature increase scenarios. Based on a digital twin, five emission scenarios and Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP) defined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) were incorporated: Paris Ambition (SSP1-1.9), Paris Agreement (SSP1-2.6), Stated policy (SSP2- 4.5), Current policy (SSP3-7.0), and No policy (SSP5-8.5) which form the basis of the IPCC’s Sixth Assessment Report (AR6). These pathways define possible future emission scenarios with different narratives that explore how society, demographics, and economics will affect greenhouse gas emissions, resultant radiative forcing, and temperature rise across the globe.
