Input: As a manufacturer, Konica Minolta engages in various operations that impact the environment. For instance, it generates CO2 emissions, which contribute to climate change because of the use of materials derived from petroleum, which is a dwindling natural resource, and this affects ecosystems in various ways. • CSR reports, environmental reports, and websites • Community briefings and explanatory meetings • Collaboration with research institutions Symbol: Not Climate Event Input: Fails to assess a portfolio’s total climate risks, such as the physical risks of extreme weather, flooding and drought or the consequences of more stringent legislation governing energy efficiency. Nor is a carbon footprint a reliable measure of a portfolio’s overall climate potential or how well it is positioned for transition to a carbon-efficient society. Symbol: Not Climate Event Input: In developing our scenario analysis, we used internal data sets and assumptions made in our existing business models. We considered the views of departments across the business to better understand risks and time horizons. We also took the time to consider impacts and dependencies. This helped us to report on the risks and opportunities that are most material to our organization. Symbol: Climate Event Input: If Philips is unable to ensure effective supply chain management, e.g. facing an interruption of its supply chain, including the inability of third parties to deliver parts, components and services on time, and if it is subject to rising raw material prices, it may be unable to sustain its competitiveness in its markets. Symbol: Climate Event Input: Reputation: In managing our reputation we seek to avoid the loss of credibility due to internal or external factors. Many types of risk have the potential to negatively impact our corporate reputation. Internal business practices, or those of our business partners or the companies in which we invest, may generate reputation harm. Consequences include diminished brand efficacy in commercial markets, impeding our ability to execute our strategy and our status as investor, partner and employer of choice. Symbol: Climate Event Input: Over the past several years, changing weather patterns and climatic conditions, including as a result of climate change, have added to the unpredictability of natural disasters and to the frequency and severity thereof and created additional uncertainty as to future trends and exposures. In particular, the consequences of climate change might significantly impact the insurance and reinsurance industry, including with respect to risk perception, pricing and modelling assumptions, and the need for new insurance products, all of which may create unforeseen risks and costs not currently known to us. Symbol: Not Climate Event Input: Given how essential bonds are to the global economy — as a source of risk management and returns for investors, as a source of capital for companies and governments — the lack of structural innovations to the bond market for many years was surprising. For decades, bond markets largely stayed the same. And in fact, investing in bonds became more difficult following the global financial crisis, as greater regulatory oversight and capital restrictions significantly reduced banks’ balance sheets and as a result, bond inventories. Symbol: Climate Event Input: Enhancing our responsible screening criteria Negative screening is used by institutional investors to exclude or to limit certain types of investments usually based on a set of defined industry criteria. Responsible investment screening can also include evaluation and identification of companies which are managing their ESG issues poorly, which in turn may coincide with the loss of shareholder value. Symbol: Not Climate Event Input: These sector-specific policies are usually developed by the AI taking into account relevant industry certification schemes, international practices, its strategy, level of exposure to the particular sector, and even its engagement with customers, industry experts, shareholders and the community.

Input: IFC is targeting new growth areas in energy storage, transportation logistics, distributed renewables, off-shore wind, nature-based solutions, and carbon capture and storage. In March 2020, IFC hired an electric vehicle (EV) industry specialist to help build IFC’s business across the EV value chain, including charging infrastructure, manufacturing, batteries, and financing platforms. Symbol: Not Climate Event Input: Sector restrictions For the sector specific restrictions, the following definitions should be applied: i) 'Financing': all lending, underwriting, issuance of debt and equity, trade and working capital finance; ii) 'Directly finance projects' refers to project finance or other lending/ underwriting where the use of proceeds is known to be for a particular project. http://home.barclays/annualreport Symbol: Climate Event Input: In Jordan, we arranged $207.5 million for a solar-power project — the largest private sector–led solar initiative in the Middle East and North Africa. Of that amount, $116 million was mobilized from other lenders. Under the project, seven solar photovoltaic plants will be built, cutting carbon emissions and providing 102 megawatts of power. Symbol: Not Climate Event Input: For our stakeholders: for customers, breaches in security may cause personal loss (both financial and emotional). There may also be consequences for relations with suppliers and intermediaries. For investors, any loss of business or reputation could result in lower returns. PSD2 will increase consumers’ control over financial data, but also their responsibility for this data. Symbol: Climate Event Input: Scope 1 emissions come mostly from refrigerant leaks and to a lesser extent from stationary combustion in furnaces. Our Scope 3 emissions result primarily from the production of goods for sale, transportation of products, and waste generated in our operations. We use the GHG Protocol’s Corporate Value Chain methodology (Scope 3) to determine our reporting category. Symbol: Not Climate Event Input: These exercises highlight that not enough data are available for a bottom-up approach, assessing the vulnerabilities specific to Group clients and incorporating their response and remediation functions on a forward-looking basis. Symbol: Climate Event Input: The EBRD's target to increase green financing to 40 per cent of its total annual financing by 2020, was achieved in 2019, with total GET-eligible finance reaching 46 per cent.7 The Bank is currently in the process of preparing its next green economy targets to cover the period 2021-25. Symbol: Not Climate Event Input: IAG is exposed to multiple risks relating to its general insurance business. The risks noted below are not meant to represent an exhaustive list, but outline the material risks faced by the Group as identified in the RMS:  strategic risk – the risk that internal or external factors compromise our ability to execute our strategic objectives or our strategy; Symbol: Climate Event Input: The Group carried out a variety of initiatives with investment clients throughout 2019: - The Group launched 10 Climate indices which raised over $750 million in 2019, and the green funds managed by BNP Paribas Asset Management (primarily invested in alternative energies and energy efficiency) totalled $11.6 billion in AuM at 31 December 2019. - BNP Paribas Cardif, the insurance subsidiary of BNP Paribas, more than doubled its green investments in the general funds of its domestic countries (France, Italy, Luxembourg).

Input: The cost of the loan is associated with a Greenhouse gas emissions reduc- tion target of 1 million metric tons by 2025; o another $750 million SLL was syndicated for Finnish forest industry company UMP. Symbol: Not Climate Event Input: PUBLIC POSITIONS AND PARTNERSHIPS ON ENERGY AND CLIMATE-RELATED ISSUES BNP Paribas firmly believes it is more effective to address the complex and global challenges of climate change by working together. With that in mind, the Group is a member of several coalitions on the front line of the fight against climate change, such as: - The Group belongs to the Breakthrough Energy Coalition, which supports innovation in the interest of deve- loping clean energy. Launched by Bill Gates during the Conference of the Parties - Climate Change 21 conference, the coalition combines innovative re- search funded by public-private partnerships; - BNP Paribas helped draft the Charter for Engagement 'Women leading climate action', of the Women's Forum, a charter that has now been signed by nearly 400 corporations, opinion leaders and other organisations. Symbol: Not Climate Event Input: Impacts of Risks are consequences of risks, both quantitative and qualitative. There may be many consequences of risks manifesting, such as a reduction in earnings and capital, liquidity outflows, and fines or penalties, or qualitative impacts such as reputation damage, loss of clients and customers, and regulatory and enforcement actions. Symbol: Climate Event Input: That said, over the next year, we are undertaking an assessment of available methodologies for measuring financed emissions in order to determine the feasibility of using these methodologies to help align our financing activities with the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement. Symbol: Not Climate Event Input: Operational risks Operational risks relate to the losses resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems, or due to external events. These risks normally fall within our low-risk appetite level as there is no strategic benefit from accepting the risk, as it will not be in line with our vision and values. Symbol: Climate Event Input: In Europe, as new legislative initiatives have been brought in, we have sought to maximize the opportunities for digital dissemination. BlackRock produces approximately 50,000 Undertakings for the Collective Investment in Transferable Securities ('UCITS') Key Investor Information Documents a year in multiple languages and we use our website as our primary delivery mechanism. We have also consistently advocated for key information disclosure documents, including UCITS, packaged retail investment, and insurance-based investment products and pan European personal pension products to be designed on a digitally friendly basis rather than on a paper basis.65 Symbol: Climate Event Input: Under the Strategic Plan 2018-2022, the company continues to optimise the businesses through additional efciency measures, with the commitment to cut annual operating expenses by Euros 500 million in 2022. These efciencies are focused on an analysis of the company's non-core activities and on the assignment of operational functions within each of the business units, all supported by the ongoing digitalisation processes. Symbol: Climate Event Input: Thanks to these investments, we are able to swiftly transfer work to unaffected locations if required and to keep potential financial impacts to a minimum.Based on our proprietary loss modelling, we calculate the annual expected losses (AEL) and loss-frequency distributions of major weather-related natural catastrophes. Symbol: Not Climate Event Input: Ping An owns multiple working premises and properties in China, and the majority of resource consumption comes from the use of electricity, water, and paper in daily operations. Thus, the effective implementation of green office program and promotion of energy conservation and emission reduction at these workplaces and properties are emphasized in Ping An's sustainability transformation. Ping An constantly promotes innovative measures in business operations. It ensures that its operations would not result in direct damage to the environment by means of energy-saving renovations and behavioral change. In addition, it realizes energy and carbon reduction through directly curbing emissions (e.g. Ping An's smart office) and indirect offset. Ping An is committed to adhering to relevant laws and regulations in operations and services, as well as advocating green operation to minimize the direct impacts towards the environment.

Input: Plants. This methodology is forward-looking and uses the IEA's 2 C scenario. This has allowed the Group to set target and transition away from coal power generation and extraction. Output from this analysis shows that the credit portfolio in these two sectors is aligned and below a 2 C scenario. - Societe Generale has also tested a credit portfolio alignment methodology developed by the 2 C Investing Symbol: Not Climate Event Input: Global climate change could exacerbate certain of the threats facing our business, including the frequency and severity of weather-related events referred to in Performance of critical infrastructure in this section 9. In addition, increases in energy prices are partly influenced by government policies to address climate change which, combined with a growing data demand that increases our energy requirements, could increase our energy costs beyond our current expectations. Symbol: Not Climate Event Input: From a business continuity standpoint, MGC has identified production downtime due to drought or flooding of production facilities as a water-related risk, formulated the business continuity plan (BCP) that addresses this risk and implemented measures to mitigate it. None of the areas in which MGC’s plants are located has experienced either adverse impacts on production activities due to water stress or conflicts with stakeholders regarding use of water resources. Symbol: Not Climate Event Input: For our stakeholders: for customers, breaches in security may cause personal loss (both financial and emotional). There may also be consequences for relations with suppliers and intermediaries. For investors, any loss of business or reputation could result in lower returns. PSD2 will increase consumers’ control over financial data, but also their responsibility for this data. Symbol: Climate Event Input: If we are unable to attract and retain qualified personnel or fail to maintain our company culture, our business could be harmed. We compete against other major U.S. airlines for pilots, mechanics, and other skilled labor; some of them offer wage and benefit packages exceeding ours. As more pilots in the industry approach mandatory retirement age, the U.S. airline industry may be affected by a pilot shortage. We may be required to increase wages and/or benefits in order to attract and retain qualified personnel or risk considerable crewmember turnover. If we are unable to hire, train, and retain qualified crewmembers, our business could be harmed and we may be unable to implement our growth plans. Symbol: Climate Event Input: The sensitivity analysis does not show a comprehensive picture of all potential scenarios. Further, variables do not tend to move in isolation, nor in a uniform or consistent manner, and the analysis does not show the potentially infinite number of permutations, and resultant impacts, that might arise in reality as a consequence. Symbol: Climate Event Input: The quantitative investment strategies focus mainly on stock picking based on quality and valuation. It is precisely these strategies, which yield long-term value and are suitable for large portfolios, that tend to perform poorly in a context of highly accommodative central bank monetary policies. In 2019, all major quantitative investment styles performed poorly; stock picking based on valuation and quality and stock picking based on recent price trends both yielded negative returns. This combination is seldom seen. Symbol: Climate Event Input: Emission sources not reported This section of the report details the emission sources on which we have not reported and provides the reasons behind our decisions. Only a minority of the offices we operate directly make use of gas and we have included this in our emissions from combustion of fuel. We do not have distinct data on heat/steam for our other offices as this is most likely embedded in the office service charges that we pay. As a result, we have not currently reported on purchased heat or steam. In future we will devise a methodology to estimate the emissions associated with heating requirements for which we are responsible. Symbol: Not Climate Event Input: The long-term ambition is clear (to align its businesses with the Paris Agree- ment goals), but to achieve that ambition calls for short and medium-term targets in more specific bu- siness lines, allowing the Group to steer its various business operations with greater precision.

Input: In 2019, we invested a total of R$ 72.4 million in the Energy Efficiency Program, which adheres to ANEEL's regulatory guidelines. The projects we developed have saved approximately 40,000 MWh of energy, enough to serve around 17,000 residential customers for one year. This saved volume also represents emissions of 2,825 tons of CO Symbol: Not Climate Event Input: The EBRD's target to increase green financing to 40 per cent of its total annual financing by 2020, was achieved in 2019, with total GET-eligible finance reaching 46 per cent.7 The Bank is currently in the process of preparing its next green economy targets to cover the period 2021-25. Symbol: Not Climate Event Input: This transition does not, however, automatically translate into a financial risk for us. For example, motor insurance is the most important business line of the re/insurance sector globally. According to Swiss Re's sigma database, it currently represents approximately 33% of global non-life gross written premiums and is expected to grow further, albeit at a lower rate. Symbol: Climate Event Input: These sector-specific policies are usually developed by the AI taking into account relevant industry certification schemes, international practices, its strategy, level of exposure to the particular sector, and even its engagement with customers, industry experts, shareholders and the community. Symbol: Climate Event Input: We also assess risks on the basis of their potential impact on the value of our franchise, which is supported by our reputation, brand and good customer relationships. Conduct and operational risks, such as cyber security breaches, data loss and IT systems failure, in particular have the potential to significantly impact our franchise value. Symbol: Climate Event Input: Climate change is a long-term risk associated with high uncertainty regarding timing, scope and severity of potential impacts. Climate risks can be grouped into physical risks and transition risks. Physical risks relate to losses from overall climate changes (i.e. changing weather patterns and sea level rise) and acute climate events (i.e. extreme weather and natural disasters). These physical risks impact property & casualty (P&C) insurance, but also life insurance, for instance through higher than expected mortality rates. Losses can also follow from credit risk and collateral linked to the mortgage portfolio. Aegon is exposed to mortality risk and mortgage underwriting Symbol: Not Climate Event Input: At the announcement of the business plan for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2020, as for investments and loans, we are setting the target at ¥2.1 trillion, which is within the three-year cumulative range announced already, and there is no change to our forecasts for asset recycling and shareholder returns. Symbol: Climate Event Input: To achieve these figures, we have increased the procurement of energy from renewable certified sources to a total of 733,8671 MWh in our buildings in Spain, Germany, Austria, Brazil, Poland, Switzerland, Portugal, Holland, Turkey, Belgium, Luxembourg, and its LEED Stores in the US, France, Italy, Switzerland and India, preventing 258,409 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions. Thanks to this effort, the use of electricity from renewable sources in the company’s facilities multiplied by 17 since 2014. Symbol: Not Climate Event Input: Electricity Electricity is another significant source of carbon emissions. Since we began tracking our electricity use in 2014, our electricity consumption has decreased by 1% despite a 15% expansion in square footage and a 40% increase in headcount.49 Because of this growth, we were unable to achieve our initial 2020 goal of an 18% reduction. However, we continue to focus on reducing electricity through partnering with our landlords and leveraging energy efficiencies. Exhibit 10 provides additional data on our change in headcount versus electricity consumption. We improve energy efficiency through the consolidation of our data centers, retrofitting for LED lighting, redesigning our office space use, and adjusting our heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems to more closely correlate to occupancy.

Input: Reinvestment in the business In 2019, CN spent approximately $3.9 billion in its capital program, with $1.6 billion invested to maintain the safety and integrity of the network, particularly track infrastructure. CN's capital spending also included $1.2 billion on strategic initiatives to increase capacity, enable growth and improve network resiliency, including line capacity upgrades and information technology initiatives, $0.9 billion on equipment capital expenditures, including the acquisition of 154 new high-horsepower locomotives and 560 new grain hopper cars, and $0.2 billion on implementation of Positive Train Control (PTC), the safety technology system mandated by the U.S. Congress. Symbol: Climate Event Input: On 24 July 2019, we entered into two new senior debt facilities agreements, a £375 million private placement with infrastructure lenders with maturities between 2024 and 2029, and a £125 million ESG facility agreement that matures in 2022. The ESG facility includes a mechanism that adjusts the margin based on carbon emissions against an annual benchmark. Symbol: Not Climate Event Input: By their very nature, these forward-looking statements require assumptions to be made and involve inherent risks and uncertainties, both general and specific. Assumptions about the performance of the Canadian and U.S. economies in 2020, including in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, and how that affect the Bank's business are among the main factors considered in setting the Bank's strategic priorities and objectives. Symbol: Climate Event Input: UBS is also involved in other activities to reduce gaps in climate-related financial data. We support the CDP, as an investor member as well as a questionnaire respondent, in their aim to improve company disclosure of risks and opportunities related to natural resources. We are also on the advisory panel of the Natural Capital Finance Alliance's advancing environmental management project. Symbol: Not Climate Event Input: At this stage the assessment is still considered qualitative, as further studies and research are yet to be completed, however it does indicate which risks may potentially have a material impact on Transurban's business. Each of these risks will be assessed further to confirm the scope and relative impact of the different consequences to better inform the management approach and reporting for future years. Symbol: Climate Event Input: We were also proud to partner with UK Climate Investments committing a combined R1 billion to a dedicated renewable energy investment vehicle, Revego Africa Energy. Revego Fund Managers (RFM), a newly incorporated black‑owned and managed fund manager, will be responsible for managing Revego’s investments in operating renewable energy projects in South Africa and other sub‑Saharan African countries.

Symbol: Climate Event Input: An important consideration in the assessment of each risk was the relevant timeframe where the risk may be realised. In each case, the relevant scenario was documented and the most likely time horizon was identified. The likelihood and consequence was then assigned based on those parameters. Symbol: Climate Event Input: ING issued a dual tranche five-year EUR 500 million and three-year USD 800 million green bond. This is ING’s first-ever green bond transaction. The money raised will go to projects in six categories eligible under ING’s newly established green bond framework, including renewable energy, green buildings, public transport, waste, water and energy efficiency. We have chosen a broad selection of sectors, which reflects our ambition to support sustainability across all industries and sectors. Symbol: Not Climate Event Input: Except as required by law, the Bank does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, by it or on its behalf. Symbol: Climate Event Input: CLIMATE CHANGE Climate change presents immediate and long-term risks to Citi and to its clients and customers, with the risks potentially increasing over time. Climate risk can arise from physical risks (risks related to the physical effects of climate change) and transition risks (risks related to regulatory, legal, technological and market changes from a transition to a low- carbon economy). Symbol: Not Climate Event Input: We worked with the UK government to accelerate the transition to electric vehicles to cut carbon emissions and improve air quality for communities the length and breadth of the country. We were pleased to see a £500 million commitment in the 2020 Budget to support the rollout of new rapid-charging hubs so drivers are never more than 30 miles from a charging point.

Input: 4.3.4 Methods of stakeholder engagement are flexible and can be tailored according to different objectives. They may include surveys, meetings, written communication or any other channels, depending on the types of stakeholders. Given the areas of concerns and expectations may change over time, engagement should be an iterative process. Symbol: Climate Event Input: Through these initiatives, Konica Minolta is aiming to achieve the business targets of more than ¥75 billion in operating profit, ¥50 billion in profit attributable to owners of the company, and ROE of 9.5% by fiscal 2019, the final year of the Medium Term Business Plan. Beyond this, we are looking to achieve a medium-term target of more than ¥100 billion in operating profit and more than ¥70 billion in profit attributable to owners of the company by fiscal 2021. Symbol: Climate Event Input: In our outlook for impacts on our clients' business, we employed two scenarios: a static scenario which assumes that no attempt is made to transform the present business structure, and a dynamic scenario under which the business structure is transformed. Symbol: Climate Event Input: South West Water has maintained its investment in renewable energy, bringing the total expenditure for K5 to over £4 million. This has included the installation of the company’s largest solar panel array to date at its Exeter headquarters. Along with hydro generation, combined heat and power (CHP) and the wind turbine at Lowermoor Water Treatment Works, South West Water’s 34 solar panel schemes now bring the total capacity for renewable energy generation to over 10MW. Symbol: Not Climate Event Input: Climate change presents an evolving set of risks and opportunities for Coles, and has the potential to contribute to and increase the exposure of other material risks. These include increased frequency/intensity of extreme weather events and chronic climate changes which can disrupt our operations and compromise the safety of our team members, customers, supply chain and the food we sell; changes to government policy, law and regulation, which can result in increased costs to operate and potential for litigation; and failure to meet expectations of stakeholders resulting in reputational damage. Symbol: Not Climate Event Input: We have enhanced our Environmental, Social, and Governance heat map to include proxy climate risk metrics. This heat map is available to our analysts and fund managers and updated on a monthly basis. It includes a composite carbon exposure metric based on the carbon-intensity of business activities, the extent of operations in jurisdictions with stringent carbon emissions regulations and the quality of a company’s carbon management. We targeted a £500 million annual investment in low-carbon infrastructure from 2015-2020, and an associated carbon saving target of 100,000 CO2e tonnes annually. In 2017, we signed £527.5 million of new investment into wind, solar, biomass and energy efficiency. Aviva holds over £744 million in green bonds. Symbol: Not Climate Event Input: Dialogues with companies and decision-makers In addition to investing in sustainable strate- gies, AP2 has dialogues with companies and decision-makers to influence the transition to a low-fossil society. AP2 has in recent years, together with other investors, presen- ted a number of shareholder proposals on climate to several fossil energy companies (BP, Shell, Statoil) and the mining sector (Glencore, Rio Tinto, Anglo American). In addition to the shareholder proposals, the Fund also uses its voting rights to support other investors' shareholder proposals on climate. Over the past year, the Fund has noted that many company boards under- take to improve their climate reporting both in terms of emissions and in evaluation of the companies' projects/activities regarding climate scenarios. Symbol: Not Climate Event Input: At the beginning of 2019, VINCI Airports signed a memorandum of understanding with the Portuguese government to extend Lisbon’s airport capacity. It provides for upgrading the existing Humberto Delgado Airport and building a new civil airport on the Montijo Air base opposite the city at the eastern end of the Tagus estuary. VINCI Airports will invest €1.15 billion over the next 10 years in this two-pronged project. Symbol: Climate Event Input: We participate in the Carbon Disclosure Project Climate Change programme to disclose our climate strategy and performance to a collaboration of institutional investors. In 2019, our score dropped to B from A- in 2018, mainly due to our score for governance of climate-related issues and being unable to report on our full scope 3 inventory at the time of reporting. While disappointing, we now have measures in place to help to restore our score. These measures include strengthened governance through our new Board-level Sustainability Committee, and the work on scope 3 emissions described on page 40. Symbol:

VINCI Airports will invest €1.15 billion over the next 10 years in this two-pronged project. Symbol: Climate Event Input: Data: Advancements in new technologies and new services, an increasing external threat landscape, and changing regulatory requirements increase the need for the Group to effectively govern, manage, and protect its data (or the data shared with third-party suppliers). Failure to manage data risk effectively can result in unethical decisions, poor customer outcomes, loss of value to the Group and mistrust. Symbol: Climate Event Input: Climate change is increasing the frequency and intensity of natural disasters. According to a report by the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR), there were 7,255 natural disasters worldwide within the 20 years from 1998 to 2017, and 91% of them were climate-related. Moreover, among disasters associated with climate change, such as floods, storms, drought and heat waves, damage from floods and storms is particularly heavy, and the number of such disasters increased 2.2 times compared with the previous 20 years. Symbol: Not Climate Event Input: Compliance risk Compliance risk is the risk of failure to comply with applicable rules and regulations, and in so doing, exposing the group to penalties and reputational damage. Penalties received or due for non-compliance are an example of this risk. As a leading financial services group, the group faces complex challenges to ensure that its activities comply with local legislation, regulations and supervisory requirements and the relevant international standards and requirements. Symbol: Climate Event Input: Over the long term, climate change will result in both acute events (e.g. increased severity and frequency of extreme weather phenomena) and chronic environmental changes (e.g. sustained higher temperatures). Resultant risks may manifest as: • operational risk (e.g. fines and penalties due to non- compliance) resulting in one-off losses or broader sustainability challenges (e.g. workforce absenteeism and illness due to extreme weather events) for the group or for clients; or • credit risk for the group due to damage to physical property and infrastructure resulting in productivity losses or supply chain disruptions which impact customers’ cash flows and ability to service existing debt. Symbol: Not Climate Event Input: Our first £250-million, eight-year bond will mature in August 2025 with a return to investors of 1.625 per cent. Since the successful launch of that debt transaction, we have raised a further £627 million of Green Bonds to investors in the UK and the United States in accordance with the ICMA Green Bond Principles.

Symbol: Climate Event Input: Although we have devoted significant resources to develop our risk management policies, procedures and methods, including with respect to market, credit, liquidity, operational as well as reputational and model risk, they may not be fully effective in mitigating our risk exposures in all economic market environments or against all types of risk, including risks that we fail to identify or anticipate. Symbol: Climate Event Input: Operational risks are inherent in the Barclays Bank Group’s business activities and it is not cost effective or possible to attempt to eliminate all operational risks. The Operational Risk Framework is therefore focused on identifying operational risks, assessing them and managing them within the Barclays Bank Group’s approved risk appetite. Symbol: Climate Event Input: Uncertainty around the evolution of the wholesale market design, given the current challenges: • Marginal remuneration system not adjusted to the current context of growing penetration of fixed cost technologies (renewables, backup, storage). • Growing penetration of technologies with 0 marginal cost (reducing prices and increasing prices’ volatility). • Uncertainty around the returns of the conventional generation, in particular as backup capacity (relevant in a perspective of ensuring security of supply). • Volatile context, not suitable for long-term investments necessary to the modernization, decarbonization and security of supply. Symbol: Not Climate Event Input: The Group considers risk management to be the key point in the financing business. We are therefore establishing a specialized risk management system that includes risk assessment standards specific to asset types, portfolio management, and monitoring methods. Under this management system, we will prioritize increasing transaction diversification as a concrete method of increasing operating assets exceeding ¥100 billion over the coming three years. Symbol: Climate Event Input: In this environment, there are several the Group, as a global distributor, faces due to climate change. These include physical risks with increased likelihood of more extreme events such as storms, and heatwaves which could affect the business’s physical sites or its distribution process. A further risk is regulatory change, often by governments, designed to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. These may render certain products obsolete whilst increasing demand for others. Other potential impacts include increases, for example, in the costs of air transport of inventory to meet customer demands. There is also reputation risk if the business is not seen to be taking deliberate and tangible actions to reduce its GHG emissions. Symbol: Not Climate Event Input: In addition to reductions in our vending and cooler equipment footprints, emission reductions have also been achieved through our progress towards sustainably sourcing palm oil, reducing added sugar in our beverages, increasing recycled content in our packaging, establishing partnerships on soil health practices within our value chain, and eliminating waste went to landfill from our facilities.

Symbol: Climate Event Input: In 2019 ATP has invested DKK 0.7bn in a gas pipe- line to move waste gas from one of the world’s largest oilfields, Delaware Basin in western Texas, to Mexico. The natural gas is a by-product of oil drilling. In the past the gas was burned off, but it is now taken away for the production of electricity. The gas thereby replaces some of the need for coal and oil to produce electricity in Texas and Mexico. The natural gas pipeline therefore represents important infrastructure as a solution to support the green transition since gas almost halves the emission of CO2 when used to replace coal and oil for the production of electricity. Symbol: Not Climate Event Input: Climate change presents an evolving set of risks and opportunities for Coles, and has the potential to contribute to and increase the exposure of other material risks. These include increased frequency/intensity of extreme weather events and chronic climate changes which can disrupt our operations and compromise the safety of our team members, customers, supply chain and the food we sell; changes to government policy, law and regulation, which can result in increased costs to operate and potential for litigation; and failure to meet expectations of stakeholders resulting in reputational damage. Symbol: Not Climate Event Input: In the US, the SEC has taken positive steps to facilitate e- delivery of mutual fund shareholder reports through the adoption of Rule 30e-3, which allows Registered Investment Companies to transmit shareholder reports electronically (subject to certain requirements). The ICI estimated that the adoption of Rule 30e-3 would save 1.87 million trees annually.63 Rule 30e-3 is effective beginning January 2021. We have long advocated for e-delivery given its benefits to investors and the environment, and we have encouraged the SEC to allow e-delivery as the default transmission mechanism beyond what they accomplished with 30e-3. In November 2020, the SEC Asset Management Advisory Committee recommended that the SEC further expand e- delivery. 64 Symbol: Not Climate Event Input: We are Australia's largest corporate purchaser of electricity from renewable projects connected to the grid under project specific agreements. While the output from these projects goes into the total grid pool, rather than directly into our facilities, these agreements play a role in providing the investment certainty to enable these projects to proceed. As the grid itself increases its proportion of renewable energy due to agreements with us and others, the power that flows into our facilities from the grid also becomes greener. The projects we have agreements with, including the Murra Warra Wind Farm and the Emerald Solar Park, generate renewable energy equivalent to the energy consumption of 255,000 households. We will continue to build on this work and invest in renewable energy generation. Symbol:

Symbol: Climate Event Input: We may be subject to unionization, work stoppages, slowdowns or increased labor costs and the unionization of the Company’s pilots and inflight crewmembers could result in increased labor costs. Our business is labor intensive and the unionization of any of our crewmembers could result in demands that may increase our operating expenses and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Any of the different crafts or classes of our crewmembers could unionize at any time, which would require us to negotiate in good faith with the crewmember group’s certified representative concerning a collective bargaining agreement. In addition, we may be subject to disruptions by unions protesting the non-union status of our other crewmembers.

Symbol: Climate Event Input: The EBRD provided a total of €98 million to finance windfarm projects in Poland and invested 14 billion tenge (€63 million equivalent) in a wind farm in Kazakhstan, considered a highly promising country for renewable energy development. The Bank signed wind and solar energy projects in Romania and financed the construction of a new hydropower plant in Georgia that will be one of the country’s few privately owned, greenfield hydropower plants. Symbol: Not Climate Event Input: The current model for financing renewables is an example of inefficient distribution of effort, since, even though the electricity sector accounts for only around 25% of energy consumption, it is the electricity consumers who bear most of these costs (more than 80% in Portugal and Spain). This effect distorts competition among the various energy vectors, limiting electrification and penalizing consumers who are most dependent on this energy vector.

Donors help to fund the action plans that are the centrepiece of EBRD Green Cities and other aspects of the programme. Symbol: Not Climate Event Input: F rom an investor’s perspective, climate change entails both physical and transition risks, which have an impact on the value of investments. Physical risks are divided into acute and chronic risks, which refer to the challenges that climate change poses to companies and society, such as unexpected damage caused by extreme weather events or the depletion of natural resources in the longer term. Transition risks refer to changes, for example, in regulation, technology and consumer behaviour that the transition to a lower-carbon economy entails.

Symbol: Not Climate Event Input: In 2019, we: - incorporated conduct risk management into our risk culture framework and stepped up risk culture communication efforts Group-wide, with an emphasis on the Tone from the Top and Tone from Above; - implemented a risk culture dashboard to provide regular updates to the Board and senior management; - introduced measures to assess the results of the various risk culture initiatives, including feedback from senior management committees and an annual self-assessment exercise for key business and support units. We also included more questions on risk culture in the Bank's Employee Engagement Survey. UOB is also a member of the Culture and Conduct Steering Committee, established by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and the Association of Banks in Singapore (ABS) to promote sound culture and to raise conduct standards among banks in Singapore; - benchmarked our Three Lines of Defence (3LOD) framework against industry best practices to strengthen our current approach further. We also established a new 3LOD Working Group to drive and to implement identified key initiatives, which aim to define ownership for new areas of risks, to harmonise risk management and controls across the 3LOD, to integrate the assurance methodology and to create a single robust governance, risk and compliance reporting framework; - replaced the Value-at-Risk (VaR) measure with Expected Shortfall (ES) limits monitoring. The latter takes into account the spread of the tail losses in the process of historical simulation and can provide a more accurate picture of risk and capture large movements in the event of financial market stress, which the VaR measure was unable to do. We also enhanced our Market Risk Aggregation Limits system to automate fully the market risk limits monitoring for all market risk asset types and limits; and - tightened our Responsible Financing Policy in relation to the financing of carbon-intensive sectors in recognition of the rising threat posed by climate change. We established a Taskforce on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) Working Group to oversee and to drive the adoption of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures recommendations. We endeavour to build our capability on climate risk management and stress-testing through active engagement with regulators, industry associations and climate specialists. We also maintained a strong focus on our capacity-building efforts, of which a key initiative was the successful roll-out of the ABS e-learning module on responsible finance to our colleagues in Singapore. Symbol: Not Climate Event Input: BNP Paribas conducted two studies in 2019 to as- sess the resilience of its loan books to transition risks and physical risks. - The Industry Research Department (EIS) of the Group Risk Department performed an internal analysis on five-year energy and climate-related risks, physical risks and transition risks. This report is part of the Group's standard analysis of syste- mic risks, inter alia in the context of the analyses conducted by EIS on the impact of different risk factors on economic sectors. The purpose of the analysis was to identify and assess the main en- ergy transition and climate change risks incurred by BNP Paribas. It notably examined the impact of climate change on sovereign risk and the more or less significant exposure of various economic sectors to energy transition risks and opportuni- ties. This broad, detailed study found BNP Pari- bas' business model to be resilient to these risks, with respect to: o its businesses, and the sector and geographic classifications of its portfolios; o the measures taken to mitigate these risks. - For the first time, in 2019 and with the help of external specialists, BNP Paribas performed an assessment, on a sample of clients in its portfolio, of physical risks covering the consequences of cli- mate change (extreme weather events) on the as- sets of Group clients. They generate financial risks for companies not only through direct impacts on their assets, but also in terms of indirect impacts through their supply chains and markets. For each counterparty analysed, the final score of exposure to physical risks is based on three risk factors: operational risks, supply chain risks (upstream) and risks of market share losses (downstream).

Symbol: Climate Event Input: Operational risks Operational risks relate to the losses resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems, or due to external events. These risks normally fall within our low-risk appetite level as there is no strategic benefit from accepting the risk and accepting that it is not in line with our vision and values. Symbol: Climate Event Input: Our business model may also be adversely affected by risks related to the physical impacts of climate change and extreme weather conditions. As the risk of flooding, wildfires, storms or hail increases it could become more difficult for LeasePlan to offer affordable insurance protection and may impact our pricing of these products. These could also impact our RMT services if more vehicles in our fleet are damaged or require more frequent servicing as a result of changing weather patterns.

Symbol: Not Climate Event Input: Global energy demand has continued to be supported by conventional technologies and fossil resources, with energy intensity unable to be significantly reduced. Air pollution is one of the main issues facing large urban centres, but there are no structural changes allowing a substantial reduction in emissions. Many cities set restrictions on car traffic, not only because of environmental issues but also because of congestion, encouraging the emergence of a number of car-sharing and ride-hailing solutions, which partially replace public transport. Electric vehicles cannot be considered an alternative, because cities lack charging points and the batteries have an insufficient autonomy to handle urban traffic jams.

Symbol: Climate Event Input: In addition to its efforts to develop sustainable products and services, the Bank has identified opportunities to be greener in its operations. The actions we have taken to improve the energy efficiency of our buildings have enabled us to currently exceed regulatory requirements and meet the expectations of our stakeholders. Over the past 20 years, the Bank has voluntarily adopted various measures to considerably improve the energy efficiency of its buildings. As a member of the Energy Savers Circle of Hydro-Quebec (a public utility that manages the transmission and distribution of electricity in Quebec), the Bank has set up an innovative web-based interface to remotely manage energy use at over 100 of its branches. This system allows the Bank to oversee its facilities and make sure they meet energy efficiency goals, year after year. The Bank also implements the criteria for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification in its buildings and aims for LEED v4 Gold certification for its new head office to be completed in 2023. Among other things, this allows the Bank to reduce its Greenhouse gas emissions despite an increase in activities. Our Greenhouse gas emissions for 2019 have been calculated at 9,732 tonnes of CO2-down 16% compared to 2017. The Bank has renewed its commitment to carbon neutrality by buying carbon credits to offset emissions that can't be eliminated. This year, the Bank has set a target to reduce its Greenhouse gas emissions by 25% by 2025. This science-based target aims to help limit global warming to 1.5 C, the most ambitious goal of the Paris Agreement.

With our partners — Smithfield Foods and Vanguard Renewables, and an alliance with the Dairy Farmers of America — we will process the methane from animal waste, and put it into the pipeline systems serving those states. This process captures methane emissions from waste ponds and reuses that methane in home heating, manufacturing, and more. Renewable natural gas is carbon-beneficial because it captures more emissions from the farms than are released when customers use the gas.

The risks for insurers can be grouped into physical risks and transition risks. Physical risks relate to losses from climate trends (i.e. changing weather patterns and sea level rise) and climate events (i.e. extreme weather and natural disasters). These physical risks impact property & casualty (P&C) insurance, but also life insurance, for instance through higher than expected mortality rates. Losses can also follow from credit risk and collateral linked to the mortgage portfolio. Aegon is exposed to mortality risk and mortgage underwriting risks and has limited exposure to P&C risk, including catastrophic risk. Beyond insured losses from physical climate damages, climate change can increase uninsured damages and losses and may have disrupting and cascading effects on the wider economy and across the financial system. The second category of risks is associated with the transition to a low-carbon economy. These transition risks can affect the value of assets and impact the investments portfolios of insurers. Furthermore, it cannot be ruled out that Aegon itself is unable to adjust to environmental and sustainability goals. The transition risks are determined by largely uncertain factors such as policy and regulatory changes, political, social and market dynamics and technological innovations. Linked to both the physical and the transition risks, there could be litigation and reputational risks following from not fully considering or responding to the impacts of climate change, or not providing appropriate disclosure of current and future risks. The risks can relate both to Aegon and the companies in which it invests.

(Fig 1 - Rainfall Annual 30-year average (1986-2015)). When customers purchase properties in these areas, we test their financial resilience to climatic events like rainfall variation and drought. Customers with lower resilience may be subject to enhanced underwriting standards, for example, loan approval may be dependent on a lower loan to valuation ratio, higher repayments, or evidence of savings or equity. Our bankers also need to document the customer's knowledge of recent rainfall and climate trends where their farm is located and, if relevant, how they manage water budgets for irrigation. Symbol: Not Climate Event Input:  For asset management companies belonging to a Group (most of the tested sample), inadequate internal supervision of the services (relating to IT, cybersecurity and business continuity) performed by the parent company was identified. But the technical execution of these services by the Group cannot exempt asset management companies from their responsibilities regarding the definition (in priority) of the main risk areas and management of the relevant controls. Symbol: Climate Event Input: Failure to comply and adapt to climate related matters is also a significant reputation risk which could result in e.g. lack of tenant interest, higher cost of capital in the financial market, and lack of ability to attract or retain talent. Also, not handling the company’s corporate social responsibilities in an informed and good matter is a reputation risk, whereas the opposite is an opportunity.

Symbol: Climate Event Input: The new index was built in three stages: - Firstly, Controversial Weapons Manufacturers were excluded from the universe of stocks that make up the FTSE All World Index universe, as the Trustee has a financial preference for avoiding such stocks where possible. - Secondly, a four-factor index was created (Value, Quality, Low Volatility and Low Size) that rebalances regularly through time to create a 'Balanced Factor' index with more attractive risk-return characteristics than the standard market capitalisation index. - Finally, three climate-related tilts were applied to the 'Balanced Factor' index to create a 'Climate Balanced Factor' index. The FTSE All World (ex CW) Climate Balanced Factor Index tilts away from Carbon Reserves and Carbon Emissions, whilst positively tilting towards Green Revenues. The tilts are set such that the inclusion of the climate-related tilts introduces a relatively modest tracking error compared to the Balanced Factor index without climate tilts.

Compliance risk encompasses violations of applicable internal policies, program requirements, procedures, and standards related to ethical principles applicable to the banking industry. Symbol: Climate Event Input: The impact of climate change may over time affect the operations of the Group and the markets in which the Group operates. This could include physical risks such as acute and chronic changes in weather and/or transitional risks such as technological development, policy and regulatory change, and market and economic responses. Efforts to address climate change through laws and regulations, for example by requiring reductions in emissions of GHGs such as CO2, can create economic risks and uncertainties for the Group’s businesses. Such risks could include the cost of purchasing allowances or credits to meet GHG emissions caps, the cost of installing equipment to reduce emissions to comply with GHG limits or required technological standards, decreased profits or losses arising from decreased demand for the Group’s goods and higher production costs resulting directly or indirectly from the imposition of legislative or regulatory controls. Manifestation of these increased costs may increase the underlying cost of production of the Group’s products which may adversely impact the financial performance of the Group.

In October 2018, we were awarded a $1 million grant from the TCEQ for our battery ESS at our Upton 2 solar facility. The grant is part of the Texas Emissions Reduction Plan. The 10 MW lithium-ion ESS captures excess solar energy produced during the day and releases the energy in late afternoon and early evening, when demand is highest. The Upton 2 battery ESS became operational in December 2018. Symbol: Not Climate Event Input: Importance Global warming is causing major changes to our environment. Climate change looks to be increasing the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events such as heat waves, droughts, floods and tropical cyclones, damaging critical infrastructure and interrupting the provision of basic services such as food, water, sanitation, education, energy and transport. Symbol: Not Climate Event Input: 42_ Scope 1 concerns direct emissions from the combustion of fossil fuels, such as gas, oil, coal, etc. Scope 2 covers indirect emissions related to the consumption of electricity, heat or steam required to manufacture a product. Scope 3 concerns other indirect emissions, such as the extraction of materials purchased by the company to manufacture a product or the transport-related emissions of employees and of customers who buy the product. This is the largest share of a company’s emissions.

Symbol: Climate Event Input: We recognise that global warming is an existential threat to humanity and one that we collectively can take steps to address. However, this is not a simple issue and we wish to take action that both meets our legislative requirements and is effective. We note that carbon dioxide produced from coal is not the only, or even the most potent, source of greenhouse gas emissions. Any company that sources energy from coal fired (or gas fired for that matter) energy generation is to some extent complicit in and contributing to the problem. This also extends to governments that do not regulate or factor in the costs from the damage that greenhouse gas emissions cause. As such, the list of contributors to the problem extends to almost the full range of our potential investment universe. Further, shutting down all coal supplies to coal fired power plants overnight would cause blackouts in many countries around the world and severely affect energy infrastructure. Electric grid systems that can only manage with a high percentage of base load power are another contributing factor. Symbol: Not Climate Event Input: We manage these risks in each stage of the building cycle: We conduct deep due diligence during the acquisition phase which includes building resiliency, energy and water consumption, building safety and materials, social impacts on the local community, certifications, environmental regulations and risk of disasters such as earthquakes and flooding.

Input: BNP Paribas Asset Management has committed to align its portfolios with the goals set out in the Paris Agreement. To that end, in 2019 BNP Paribas Asset Management announced that it would be implementing a new, more restrictive coal policy, which took effect on 1 January 2020. The policy applies to all open-ended funds actively managed by BNP Paribas Asset Management, and is set to become the standard for mandates as well. As of 2020, BNP Paribas Asset Management no longer invests in companies generating more than 10% of their revenue from thermal coal operations and/or for which thermal coal represents 1% or more of their total global production. Electricity producers with a carbon intensity exceeding the global average of 491 gCO2e/kWh in 2017 will also be ruled out, as BNP Paribas Asset Management aligns itself with the path set to reach the Paris Agreement goals, as determined by the IEA in its Sustainable Development Scenario (SDS). This scenario calls for electricity producers to reduce their carbon intensity to 327 gCO2e/kWh by 2025. Accordingly, BNP Paribas Asset Management will require the companies it invests in to reduce their carbon intensity to an SDS-compatible rate between 2020 and 2025, excluding those who fail to do so.

Symbol: Climate Event Input: In 2019 ATP has invested DKK 0.7bn in a gas pipe- line to move waste gas from one of the world’s largest oilfields, Delaware Basin in western Texas, to Mexico. The natural gas is a by-product of oil drilling. In the past the gas was burned off, but it is now taken away for the production of electricity. The gas thereby replaces some of the need for coal and oil to produce electricity in Texas and Mexico. The natural gas pipeline therefore represents important infrastructure as a solution to support the green transition since gas almost halves the emission of CO2 when used to replace coal and oil for the production of electricity. Symbol: Not Climate Event Input: Now, these older coal and gas plants are being shuttered in the UK and being replaced by intermittent renewable energy sources, principally wind. This reduces carbon emissions but makes the provision of these system support services more challenging.

Symbol: Climate Event Input: Several tools and methodologies aimed at assessing the exposure of loan books and investment portfolios to climate risks (transition risks and physical risks) are currently being examined across the Group. - BNP Paribas has made a commitment to the Science-Based Target initiative (SBTi). This coalition comprises the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), the UN Global Compact, the World Resources Institute (WRI) and the WWF, with the aim of supporting companies interested in setting environmental targets in line with the Paris Agreement goals. As Science Based Targets Initiative - Climate Change has not yet determined a methodology for setting such targets for companies in the financial sector, BNP Paribas is participating in Science Based Targets Initiative - Climate Change working groups to help develop one; - The Group signed the Katowice Commitment in 2018, and the Collective Commitment to Climate Action signed, in September 2019, by 33 banks that are also signatories of the Principles for Responsible Banking (PRB) under the aegis of United Nations Environment Programme FI (United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative). The Group has thus undertaken to develop tools that can be used to align its loan book with the goals of the Paris Agreement. In 2019, BNP Paribas tested the methodology developed by the think tank '2 Degrees Investing Initiative'26. - Lastly, in December 2019, BNP Paribas signed the Poseidon Principles promoting decarbonisation of the maritime transport industry by encouraging banks to incorporate climate considerations in their portfolios and credit decisions. Their objective is to meet the goal set by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) to reduce Greenhouse gas emission in maritime transport by at least 50% by 2050 (compared to 2008 levels).

Symbol: Not Climate Event Input: Since the Industrial Revolution, an increase in energy consumption has heightened the concentrations of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide (CO2), in the atmosphere, and global warming is progressing. If warming continues without taking any effective countermeasures, there will be major changes in the earth's climate. This will cause phenomena such as rising sea levels and abnormal weather patterns, and have a great impact on the living environments of people and other organisms. Abnormal weather patterns will also increase the risk of damage to the business activities of the Mitsui Fudosan Group.

Input: Furthermore, similar to upstream PP&E assets discussed above, E&A assets are also potentially exposed to climate change and the global energy transition. A greater number of projects may be expected not to proceed as a consequence of lower forecast future demand, lower appetite by management and the board to allocate capital to certain projects, or increased objections from stakeholders to the development of certain projects. In response, management has updated its internal controls over its IFRS 6 assessment to reflect the potential impact that climate change and the energy transition may have on E&A assets.

Input: Climate change can pose material risks to sovereign debt due to its impact on national expenditures associated with disaster recovery from extreme weather events or preparedness through climate change mitigation and adaptation projects. Emerging market countries are particularly vulnerable since they often lack capital or have higher funding costs, which exacerbates the myriad risks that they already face. For example, many of these countries are vulnerable to food insecurity from both the impact of climate change on their own agricultural production and higher prices for imports. Our investment team members are increasingly focused on deepening their understanding of environmental risk in sovereigns and its complex links to fiscal and monetary conditions, which in turn affect bond yields and credit ratings.

Symbol: Climate Event Input: (2018: €4.6bn, 2017: €4.6bn). mBank in Poland also wants to step up its commitment to environmentally friendly product solutions, with an initial investment of around €118m (PLN 500m) in renewable energy projects at the end of 2018. In July 2019, mBank decided to double this financing pool. To date, around three-quarters of the funds for investments have gone to the wind sector, with the rest supporting the development of solar parks. Symbol: Not Climate Event Input: The main impacts of the 4ºC scenario were: • Physical ramifications of climate change: in this scenario we expect extreme weather events of escalating severity and frequency, which could increase disruption to our assets and our customers. This would require investment to ‘harden’ assets and would heighten the safety risk to our field employees. Our approach to physical climate risk is discussed in more detail below. • Lower system visibility: as this scenario sees less coordinated policy and regulation in pursuit of decarbonisation, we would anticipate a greater variety of solutions being deployed across our networks. This could increase overall system costs and reduce visibility over the network, potentially slowing our responsiveness to disruptive events. We do note, however, that a greater number of distributed assets would increase the potential for local balancing, which could mitigate this. • Inequality of access: without carefully designed policy, we believe decarbonisation activities have the potential to leave some sectors of society behind: for example, heat pumps and the energy efficiency upgrades they typically require are currently cost-prohibitive for many. As well as the ethical implications of this, there is a risk to the Group, especially for our US businesses, that a proportion of our customers would struggle to pay their bills. Symbol: Not Climate Event Input: The COVID-19 pandemic rapidly introduced an array of new and elevated risks to the safety of our people, the resilience of our operations, the strength of our balance sheet and the financial security of our customers and the community.

Input: 2 intensity. The main upstream projects in progress, which account for about 45% of the total development investments in the sector in the four-year period 2019-22, show an overall break-even at a Brent price of $25/barrel, which is there- fore resilient even in the presence of a low-carbon scenario, and an internal rate of return (IRR) of 22%. Furthermore, these projects have a positive cumulative Free Cash Flow as early as 2019, due to the cash in from the application of the Dual Exploration Model, which is the early monetization of exploration suc- cesses through the sale of minority stakes. The hydrocarbon equity resources13 at 31/12/2018 show that natural gas, a bridge solution towards a low carbon future, accounts for over 50%. The flexibility and adaptability in the use of Eni's investments, amounting to about $33 billion in the period 2019-22, are confirmed by the non-committed share of 50% already in the two-years period 2021-22. Symbol: Not Climate Event Input: The analysis of economic implications of climate change is fraught with difficulty, and it is impossible to survey all potential impacts of climate change as no existing scenario or model can fully describe the workings of the entire physical world and how all physical, chemical, geological and biological processes influence each other. Impacts of climate changes will thus depend on how rapidly they occur, how large the changes are, as well as the adaptability of societies and ecosystems. As such, many analyses are based on factors that lend themselves to some degree of quantification, but climate change will also have effects which are difficult to quantify, or which cannot meaning- fully be quantified.

Leaders across the bank promote our efforts, articulate its importance and champion the work needed to deliver sustainable growth well into the future. Symbol: Climate Event Input: Unfortunately, this progress has come at a cost. Carbon emissions have tripled since 1960. We are now consuming about 1.75 times as many natural resources in a year as the planet can possibly regenerate – which is driving land and biodiversity loss, resource shortages and climate change. This is not sustainable, especially with the global population forecast to increase by a further 50% this century.

Symbol: Climate Event Input: At the same time, Equinor aims to continue to improve the efficiency, reliability, carbon emissions, and lifespan of fields already in production. During 2019, Equinor updated the climate ambitions for Norway. Driven by a large remaining resource potential on the NCS, Equinor aims to reduce the absolute greenhouse gas emissions from its operated offshore installations and onshore plants in Norway with 40% by 2030, 70% by 2040, and towards near zero by 2050, compared to 2005. The 2030 ambition alone is expected to require investments of around NOK 20 billion Equinor share, in projects within energy efficiency, electrification, infrastructure consolidation, digitalization, and new value chains, such as CCS and Hydrogen.

Symbol: Climate Event Input: Risks to the Group’s reputation Risks include acts or omissions by the Group or any of its employees that could damage the Group’s reputation or lead to a loss of trust among its stakeholders. Every risk type has potential consequences for Zurich’s reputation. Effectively managing each type of risk helps reduce such threats. Symbol: Climate Event Input: Among the important risks identified in STEP 1, we recognize rising raw material prices due to a decline in the harvest of agricultural materials and increased costs owing to the introduction of a carbon tax, which have a particularly high impact on our businesses. We therefore evaluated this business impact as follows. Symbol: Not Climate Event Input: Unfortunately, this progress has come at a cost. Carbon emissions have tripled since 1960. We are now consuming about 1.75 times as many natural resources in a year as the planet can possibly regenerate – which is driving land and biodiversity loss, resource shortages and climate change. This is not sustainable, especially with the global population forecast to increase by a further 50% this century. And although people are living longer, they’re not always healthier or happier: there’s been an increase in chronic disease, while mental health issues are also on the rise. Symbol: Not Climate Event Input: Business Risk Business risk describes the risk we assume due to potential changes in general business conditions, such as our market environment, client behavior and technological progress. This can affect our results if we fail to adjust quickly to these changing conditions. Business risk consists of strategic risk, tax risk and refinancing risk, of which only strategic risk is assessed as material.

Specif- ically in the context of the Climate Aware fund, UBS Asset Management has implemented an engagement program with 50 oil & gas and utilities companies under- weighted in the fund. Dialogue with companies aims at improving companies' disclosure and performance alignment with the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures recommendations. Engage- ment makes it possible to share the results of the quanti- tative and qualitative assessments included in the fund methodology with investee companies too. This allows for the verification of company performance with additional information collected before and after meetings. It also means AM can collect feedback, explicitly com- municate objectives for change in corporate practices and further enhance the model used to inform the under / overweights in the strategy.

Input: Future work Climate continues to be high up on AP2's agenda and the implementation of Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures is part of the Fund's on-going work. In 2020 focus will be on implementing the new sustainability strategy with a strong focus on climate. Among other things, the Fund is further developing its internal indices with a sustainability profile with the ambition of complying with the criteria of EU Paris Aligned Benchmark. Asset management works actively, in different ways, to include climate risks and opportunities in its analyses and to find investment opportunities for different asset classes. Integrating climate analysis into the overall ALM analysis will continue to be develo- ped. The Fund also intends to further develop views on what are significant climate risks and opportunities for more asset classes/sectors/ geographies and their time horizons. Symbol: Not Climate Event Input: Operational risks Operational risks relate to the losses resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems, or due to external events. These risks normally fall within our low-risk appetite level as there is no strategic benefit from accepting the risk and accepting that it is not in line with our vision and values.

We compete against other major U.S. airlines for pilots, mechanics, and other skilled labor; some of them offer wage and benefit packages exceeding ours. As more pilots in the industry approach mandatory retirement age, the U.S. airline industry may be affected by a pilot shortage. We may be required to increase wages and/or benefits in order to attract and retain qualified personnel or risk considerable crewmember turnover. If we are unable to hire, train, and retain qualified crewmembers, our business could be harmed and we may be unable to implement our growth plans.

Symbol: Climate Event Input: Changes in precipitation patterns and extreme weather conditions such as floods, storms, droughts and fires may impact our plantations and the forests we source wood from and could result in fibre supply chain interruptions and higher fibre costs. Higher temperatures may also increase the vulnerability of forests to pests and disease. Increased severity of extreme weather events may also interrupt our operations. In water-scarce countries, we may see an impact on our production process as a result of limited water availability.

Our business is labor intensive and the unionization of any of our crewmembers could result in demands that may increase our operating expenses and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Any of the different crafts or classes of our crewmembers could unionize at any time, which would require us to negotiate in good faith with the crewmember group’s certified representative concerning a collective bargaining agreement. In addition, we may be subject to disruptions by unions protesting the non-union status of our other crewmembers. Any of these events would be disruptive to our operations and could harm our business. Symbol: Climate Event Input: A key part of our progress to meet our target, was the allocation of £250 million to real assets covering real estate, infrastructure, forestry and agricultural land to Townsend Group. The mandate places a high priority on long term responsible investments that meet our financial targets, with a preference to invest positively in sustainable real assets such as energy efficient buildings, renewable energy projects, public transport, water treatment facilities, eco-friendly farming, and sustainable forestry.

Input: In April 2018, the Group successfully completed a refinancing to convert floating to fixed debt and to extend the debt maturity out to November 2025. The Group issued a US$300 million bond with a fixed interest rate of 6.625%, which was swapped back to sterling upon issuance at an effective interest rate of 5%. The proceeds of the new issue were used to repay in full the £200 million floating rate bond issued in 2017 which had a maturity of 2022. Symbol: Climate Event Input: At the announcement of the business plan for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2020, as for investments and loans, we are setting the target at ¥2.1 trillion, which is within the three-year cumulative range announced already, and there is no change to our forecasts for asset recycling and shareholder returns. Symbol: Climate Event Input: An important consideration in the assessment of each risk was the relevant timeframe where the risk may be realised. In each case, the relevant scenario was documented and the most likely time horizon was identified. The likelihood and consequence was then assigned based on those parameters. Symbol: Climate Event Input: It is also used to identify what are known as emerging risks, in other words risks which could potentially have an adverse impact on the Group’s future performance, although their result and horizontal time frame are uncertain and difficult to predict (for further details see section ‘Emerging risks’ from chapter C. Background and upcoming challenges). Symbol: Climate Event Input: Climate change can pose material risks to sovereign debt due to its impact on national expenditures associated with disaster recovery from extreme weather events or preparedness through climate change mitigation and adaptation projects. Emerging market countries are particularly vulnerable since they often lack capital or have higher funding costs, which exacerbates the myriad risks that they already face. For example, many of these countries are vulnerable to food insecurity from both the impact of climate change on their own agricultural production and higher prices for imports. Our investment team members are increasingly focused on deepening their understanding of environmental risk in sovereigns and its complex links to fiscal and monetary conditions, which in turn affect bond yields and credit ratings. Symbol: Not Climate Event Input: Water stress Household water scarcity caused by climate change is another physical risk, which is exacerbated by population growth and urbanisation. During periods of drought consumers may reduce their use of certain products including laundry detergents, shampoos and conditioners, and toilet cleaners as they are unable to access water to use them or experience declining water quality which limits their enjoyment and/or efficacy. While the overall impact of water stress on our sales, from both policy and physical impacts, was not found to be significant in our scenario analysis at a global level within the 2030 time horizon evaluated, the impacts we see in the short term tend to be more local. Symbol: Not Climate Event Input: Because our electric grid will continue to rely on high-voltage and lower-voltage power lines, we expect to invest about $800 million annually for the foreseeable future to build new transmission infrastructure, replace more than 2,000 miles of high-voltage transmission lines, and upgrade physical security at substations. The rebuilds will increase the capacity on our transmission lines, which in part enhances our ability to transport more renewable energy.

These risks normally fall within our low-risk appetite level as there is no strategic benefit from accepting the risk and accepting that it is not in line with our vision and values. Symbol: Climate Event Input: In addition, we recognize the scientific consensus that climate change is a reality of increasing concern, indicated by higher concentrations of greenhouse gases, a warming atmosphere and ocean, diminished snow and ice, and sea level rise. We understand that climate change potentially poses a serious financial threat to society as a whole, with implications for the insurance industry in areas such as catastrophe risk perception, pricing and modeling assumptions, particularly if the frequency and severity of natural catastrophic events continue to increase. Because there is significant variability associated with the impacts of climate change, we cannot predict how physical, legal, regulatory and social responses may impact our business.

Symbol: Climate Event Input: The future is not a faraway place. It’s as near as tomorrow and it will affect us all. As energy consumption soars, how will we meet the demand? Fossil fuels are a finite resource that will gradually disappear. The natural replacement is sweeping freely around the earth – the wind. Symbol: Not Climate Event Input: We have been investing our £200 million corporate ‘green’ loan in ongoing energy security and carbon reduction initiatives such as installing solar panels on our roofs, switching to natural refrigerants and generating green gas using combined heat and power (CHP) plants. We have also partnered with General Electric to install LED lighting in our stores, reducing our lighting energy consumption by around 58 per cent for the stores included in the rollout – a three per cent annual reduction in carbon emissions once the programme is completed. Currently, 17 per cent of our electricity comes from on-site renewables generation and renewable power purchase agreements.

Evaluation is over a rolling five-year period and the outcome of individual years should be interpreted with caution since strategic positions are taken in the medium term. Symbol: Climate Event Input: The quantitative investment strategies focus mainly on stock picking based on quality and valuation. It is precisely these strategies, which yield long-term value and are suitable for large portfolios, that tend to perform poorly in a context of highly accommodative central bank monetary policies. In 2019, all major quantitative investment styles performed poorly; stock picking based on valuation and quality and stock picking based on recent price trends both yielded negative returns. This combination is seldom seen. Symbol: Climate Event Input: Initial insights The majority of the residential properties in our portfolio have a very low probability of experiencing damage from flooding or drought in the next 30 years. A relatively small number of properties, however, have a high probability of experiencing damage from flooding or drought in that period. Therefore, the impact on an individual household may be significant, even more so if the quality of the property is already low or the household’s response capacity is low (e.g. insufficient wealth or mortgage headroom). Nevertheless this initial analysis does not suggest a significant impact at either a portfolio or bank level.

The actions we have taken to improve the energy efficiency of our buildings have enabled us to currently exceed regulatory requirements and meet the expectations of our stakeholders. Over the past 20 years, the Bank has voluntarily adopted various measures to considerably improve the energy efficiency of its buildings. As a member of the Energy Savers Circle of Hydro-Quebec (a public utility that manages the transmission and distribution of electricity in Quebec), the Bank has set up an innovative web-based interface to remotely manage energy use at over 100 of its branches. This system allows the Bank to oversee its facilities and make sure they meet energy efficiency goals, year after year. The Bank also implements the criteria for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification in its buildings and aims for LEED v4 Gold certification for its new head office to be completed in 2023. Among other things, this allows the Bank to reduce its Greenhouse gas emissions despite an increase in activities. Our Greenhouse gas emissions for 2019 have been calculated at 9,732 tonnes of CO2-down 16% compared to 2017. The Bank has renewed its commitment to carbon neutrality by buying carbon credits to offset emissions that can't be eliminated. This year, the Bank has set a target to reduce its Greenhouse gas emissions by 25% by 2025. This science-based target aims to help limit global warming to 1.5 C, the most ambitious goal of the Paris Agreement. Symbol:

Input: We meet the financing needs of our customers with a broad and modern product range. The focus of the portfolio is on traditional owner-occupied home financing and the financing of real estate capital investments (residential mortgage loans and investment properties with a total EaD of €61bn). We provide our business customers with credit in the form of individual loans with a volume of €14bn. In addition, we meet our customers’ day-to-day demand for credit with consumer loans (consumer and instalment loans, credit cards to a total of €10bn). Symbol: Climate Event Input: Risks to the Group’s reputation Risks include acts or omissions by the Group or any of its employees that could damage the Group’s reputation or lead to a loss of trust among its stakeholders. Every risk type has potential consequences for Zurich’s reputation. Effectively managing each risk type supports preventing adverse reputation outcomes. Symbol: Climate Event Input: There is also increased public focus, including by governmental and non-governmental organizations, on these and other environmental sustainability matters, including deforestation and land use. Our reputation could be damaged if we or others in our industry do not act, or are perceived not to act, responsibly with respect to our impact on the environment.

Symbol: Climate Event Input: The international community pledged €17 million in additional funds to help finance work aimed at reducing the risk of radiation from disused uranium-mining sites in the Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. The funding was pledged at an event hosted by the EBRD, which manages the Environmental Remediation Account for Central Asia. Work at four sites will start in 2019. Symbol: Not Climate Event Input: 5.2.11 Conflict minerals: issues further down the chain In line with Philips’ commitment to supply-chain sustainability, we are concerned about the situation in eastern DRC (the Democratic Republic of the Congo), where proceeds from the mining sector are used to finance rebel conflicts in the region. Philips does not directly source minerals from the DRC and the mines are typically seven or more tiers away from our direct suppliers. Philips nevertheless feels obliged to address this issue through the means and influencing mechanisms available to us. Symbol: Climate Event Input: Water stress Household water scarcity caused by climate change is another physical risk, which is exacerbated by population growth and urbanisation. During periods of drought consumers may reduce their use of certain products including laundry detergents, shampoos and conditioners, and toilet cleaners as they are unable to access water to use them or experience declining water quality which limits their enjoyment and/or efficacy. While the overall impact of water stress on our sales, from both policy and physical impacts, was not found to be significant in our scenario analysis at a global level within the 2030 time horizon evaluated, the impacts we see in the short term tend to be more local. Symbol: Not Climate Event Input: The new index was built in three stages: - Firstly, Controversial Weapons Manufacturers were excluded from the universe of stocks that make up the FTSE All World Index universe, as the Trustee has a financial preference for avoiding such stocks where possible. - Secondly, a four-factor index was created (Value, Quality, Low Volatility and Low Size) that rebalances regularly through time to create a 'Balanced Factor' index with more attractive risk-return characteristics than the standard market capitalisation index. - Finally, three climate-related tilts were applied to the 'Balanced Factor' index to create a 'Climate Balanced Factor' index. The FTSE All World (ex CW) Climate Balanced Factor Index tilts away from Carbon Reserves and Carbon Emissions, whilst positively tilting towards Green Revenues. The tilts are set such that the inclusion of the climate-related tilts introduces a relatively modest tracking error compared to the Balanced Factor index without climate tilts. This allowed the Trustee to conclude that the new index was consistent with its fiduciary duty and provided an element of Climate Change protection.

Input: In 2019 ATP has invested DKK 0.7bn in a gas pipe- line to move waste gas from one of the world’s largest oilfields, Delaware Basin in western Texas, to Mexico. The natural gas is a by-product of oil drilling. In the past the gas was burned off, but it is now taken away for the production of electricity. The gas thereby replaces some of the need for coal and oil to produce electricity in Texas and Mexico. The natural gas pipeline therefore represents important infrastructure as a solution to support the green transition since gas almost halves the emission of CO2 when used to replace coal and oil for the production of electricity.

Symbol: Not Climate Event Input: Business Risk Business risk describes the risk we assume due to potential changes in general business conditions, such as our market environment, client behavior and technological progress. This can affect our results if we fail to adjust quickly to these changing conditions. Business risk consists of strategic risk, tax risk and refinancing risk, of which only strategic risk is assessed as material. Symbol: Climate Event Input: At this stage the assessment is still considered qualitative, as further studies and research are yet to be completed, however it does indicate which risks may potentially have a material impact on Transurban's business. Each of these risks will be assessed further to confirm the scope and relative impact of the different consequences to better inform the management approach and reporting for future years. Symbol: Climate Event Input: While the Trustee considers the impact of climate-related risks on all of the assets within which it invests, the primary focus has been on its equity exposure (although steps are being taken to extend this to the Scheme's holdings in publicly-traded corporate credit).

Input: The current model for financing renewables is an example of inefficient distribution of effort, since, even though the electricity sector accounts for only around 25% of energy consumption, it is the electricity consumers who bear most of these costs (more than 80% in Portugal and Spain). This effect distorts competition among the various energy vectors, limiting electrification and penalizing consumers who are most dependent on this energy vector. Symbol: Not Climate Event Input: Accordingly, we have defined the associated risks and opportunities from a medium- to long-term perspective looking to 2030 and beyond rather than based on the short-term timeframe of the three-year medium-term management plan. Symbol: Climate Event Input: (11) Climate change The negative effects of climate change are becoming increasingly severe and are thus recognized as social issues that must be addressed globally, as demonstrated by the Paris Agreement and the SDGs. The process of manufacturing chemicals emits large amounts of greenhouse gases (GHG), the primary cause of climate change. The physical risks associated with climate change and risks pertaining to the transition to a low-carbon society have the potential to adversely affect the Group’s business results and financial position. Accordingly, the Mitsui Chemicals Group considers its response to climate change a key issue (materiality).

Across all of our above mentioned programs, 7% of pilots are women, almost double the national average for airline transport. In Gateway Select, 20% of the pilots in our program are from underrepresented groups, about five times the national average. Symbol: Climate Event Input: In addition, the impacts of physical and transition climate risks can lead to second order connected risks, which have the potential to affect the Barclays Bank Group’s retail and wholesale portfolios. The impacts of climate change may increase losses for those sectors sensitive to the effects of physical and transition risks. Any subsequent increase in defaults and rising unemployment could create recessionary pressures, which may lead to wider deterioration in the creditworthiness of the Barclays Bank Group’s clients, higher ECLs, and increased charge-offs and defaults among retail customers.

Input: Climate change presents both physical and transition risks to our investment portfolio. Physical risks include the risk of loss due to extreme weather events or longer-term shifts in climate patterns. Transition risks include changes in government policy, regulation, consumer preferences and technology, which may increase the costs of certain assets (e.g. carbon pricing) or their marketability (e.g. stranded assets). These changes may impact the value of our investments. Symbol: Not Climate Event Input: Thus, the Board of Directors, upon recommendation of its Compensation & Governance Committee, and following a comparative review of national, European and industry practices, decided to maintain unchanged, for 2020, the Chief Executive Off icer’s target annual variable compensation, at €1.45 million, i.e. 100% of the amount of his annual fixed compensation. Symbol: Climate Event Input: In addition, the transition to a decarbonized society carries with it the risk of greenhouse gas emission regulations, such as the introduction and strengthening of a carbon tax, and technological improvements or rapid development of renewable energy technologies. There is a possibility that this shift could adversely affect the business performance and financial condition of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, especially those engaged in fossil fuel-related business. The likelihood of these climate-related risks is largely dependent on the status of efforts to prevent climate change under the Paris Agreement.

Across all of our above mentioned programs, 7% of pilots are women, almost double the national average for airline transport. In Gateway Select, 20% of the pilots in our program are from underrepresented groups, about five times the national average. Symbol: Climate Event Input: BNP Paribas conducted two studies in 2019 to as- sess the resilience of its loan books to transition risks and physical risks. - The Industry Research Department (EIS) of the Group Risk Department performed an internal analysis on five-year energy and climate-related risks, physical risks and transition risks. This report is part of the Group's standard analysis of syste- mic risks, inter alia in the context of the analyses conducted by EIS on the impact of different risk factors on economic sectors. The purpose of the analysis was to identify and assess the main en- ergy transition and climate change risks incurred by BNP Paribas. It notably examined the impact of climate change on sovereign risk and the more or less significant exposure of various economic sectors to energy transition risks and opportuni- ties. This broad, detailed study found BNP Pari- bas' business model to be resilient to these risks, with respect to: o its businesses, and the sector and geographic classifications of its portfolios; o the measures taken to mitigate these risks. - For the first time, in 2019 and with the help of external specialists, BNP Paribas performed an assessment, on a sample of clients in its portfolio, of physical risks covering the consequences of cli- mate change (extreme weather events) on the as- sets of Group clients. They generate financial risks for companies not only through direct impacts on their assets, but also in terms of indirect impacts through their supply chains and markets. For each counterparty analysed, the final score of exposure to physical risks is based on three risk factors: operational risks, supply chain risks (upstream) and risks of market share losses (downstream). Symbol: Not Climate Event Input: BNP Paribas Asset Management has committed to align its portfolios with the goals set out in the Paris Agreement. To that end, in 2019 BNP Paribas Asset Management announced that it would be implementing a new, more restrictive coal policy, which took effect on 1 January 2020. The policy applies to all open-ended funds actively managed by BNP Paribas Asset Management, and is set to become the standard for mandates as well. As of 2020, BNP Paribas Asset Management no longer invests in companies generating more than 10% of their revenue from thermal coal operations and/or for which thermal coal represents 1% or more of their total global production. Electricity producers with a carbon intensity exceeding the global average of 491 gCO2e/kWh in 2017 will also be ruled out, as BNP Paribas Asset Management aligns itself with the path set to reach the Paris Agreement goals, as determined by the IEA in its Sustainable Development Scenario (SDS). This scenario calls for electricity producers to reduce their carbon intensity to 327 gCO2e/kWh by 2025. Accordingly, BNP Paribas Asset Management will require the companies it invests in to reduce their carbon intensity to an SDS-compatible rate between 2020 and 2025, excluding those who fail to do so.

Symbol: Climate Event Input: Risk committees Effective risk management requires company-wide risk governance. ING's risk and control structure is based on the 'three lines of defence' governance model, whereby each line has a specific role and defined responsibilities and the execution and control of tasks are separated. At the same time, the three lines have to work closely together to identify, assess and mitigate risks. This governance framework is designed to manage risk in line with ING's overall risk appetite as approved by the Management Board Banking, Executive Board and Supervisory Board.

Symbol: Climate Event Input: NEW SOLUTIONS FOR SUSTAINABLE MOBILITY In addition to the research projects already mentioned on biofuels and hydrogen, Eni is investing in new fuels produced from waste: in this area a project is currently being assessed at the Livorno Re- finery involving production of methanol by high temperature gasification with oxygen of solid urban waste, made up of non-recyclable plastic waste (Plasmix, a mix of plastics not currently recyclable and SSF, Secondary Solid Fuel). The process is based on production of a synthetic gas from carbon-based material. The synthetic gas produced in this way is first purified so that it can subsequently be used to synthesise methanol or to produce pure hydrogen. Methanol produced using waste as a raw material could be considered as a Recycled Carbon Fuel, as provided for by the RED II European directive on renewable energy, and therefore assimilable to a biofuel. It can be used in petrols by transformation into MTBE, or mixed with experimental high alcohol content petrols together with bioethanol (A20 pet- rol). A new fuel, A20, based on a mix containing 15% methanol and 5% bioethanol has been developed with the FCA Group and subjected to a 13-month test in which five Fiat 500s of the Enjoy fleet travelled about 50,000 km, when rented out for a total of 9,000 times, without encountering any problems. A Waste to Fuel technology has also been developed that is able to convert the organic fraction of solid municipal waste (OFMSW) into bio-oil (see box on p. 39 of Eni for 2019 - A just transition).
