Sustainable value chain: Amprion decides to reduce Scope-3-emissions “As a transmission system operator, we are contributing to the Green Deal in Germany and Europe. I am pleased that we have also committed to an ambitious but realistic CO2 reduction path for our value chain. For Amprion, this is a further step on the path to climate neutrality for our organisation,” said Amprion CEO, Dr. Hans-Jürgen Brick. The voluntary commitment follows the requirements of the Paris climate protection agreement on the 1.5-degree target. Reduction paths for different types of emissions As early as 2022, Amprion set a target for reducing CO2 emissions from its own sources (Scope 1) and purchased energy (Scope 2). The company aims to reduce these by at least 63 percent by 2032. Scope-3-emissions arise from purchased goods and services, business travel and commuting to work, etc. The reference figure for this type of emissions is the length of powerlines constructed. The base year is 2021. All reduction targets were defined in accordance with the internationally recognized Science Based Target Initiative (SBTi). Peter Rüth, Chief Financial Officer of Amprion said: “Sustainability is firmly anchored in our corporate and financing strategy. With the reduction target for Scope 3 emissions, we are also sending a further signal to our investors that demonstrates the importance of this issue for Amprion.” Please contact us if you have any questions: Contact for the press Tobias Burgholz Press Officer T +49 231 5849- M + 49 E-Mail: Contact for investors and analysts Patrick Wang Head of Investor Relations T +49 231 5849-12297 E-mail: ir@amprion.net Amprion Amprion GmbH is one of four transmission system operators in Germany.
