Summary of the work performed

We performed the following procedures, among others:

• Assessment of the section “About this Report”, including the criteria to determine whether they are appropriate when applied in relation to the Selected Indicators 2024 (including the GHG statement);

• Inquiries and detailed walkthroughs with relevant stakeholders for the Selected Indicators 2024 (including the GHG statement);

• Inspection of process and control descriptions and other internal guidelines and relevant documents;

• Analytical procedures;

• Reperformance of relevant calculations (including the GHG statement);

• Additional assurance procedures as deemed necessary (e.g. sample-based source tracing) as well as in relation to the publication of the Selected Indicators 2024 (including the GHG statement) in the Nonfinancial Report 2024 in the Annual Report 2024; and

• Local level procedures (2 site visits to inspect local processes and reconcile source evidence).

We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our conclusion.
