 paper and greenhouse gas emissions. Reduction targets of our operational
     emissions follow the Science Based Target Initiative (SBTi) methodology, with the commitment of reducing by 50% these emissions by 2030, 
                                                  which represents an annual reduction of 4.6%;

·                        Since 2020, we have been implementing the Aterro Zero program in our branches and buildings in                     
    the state of São Paulo. Through this program, the waste generated by our operations is destined for recycling, composting or transformed
                into CDR (Waste-derived Fuel). In 2024, we reduced 48% of waste disposal to landfills through this program; and

·                   Since 2023, 100% of our business was certified with the environmental management system by an independent                
    third party. Administrative buildings were certified through ISO 14001 and bank branches through Bradesco Environmental Management System
         (SGAB), an internal certification based on the referenced standard’s guidelines. This initiative contributes to the improvement     
    of environmental management, as it encourages the reduction of water and energy consumption, as well as waste generation. The measurement
     of water, and energy consumption is done on a monthly basis, by means of a computerized system that consolidates consumption data across
      all of our buildings. Waste generation, meanwhile, is measured by use of third-party facilities in the case of operations outside the  
                            state of São Paulo, and by the Aterro Zero program partner for buildings within the state.

4.B.10.03-06 Climate Change
 Climate change is generating significant short, medium and long-term changes in our society and economy. Its impacts are physical and transitional – such as rising global temperatures and increasingly extreme weather events, each day more severe and frequent – and those that result from political and market changes, as new public policies and changes in consumption and production patterns arise.
 In this context, we seek to ensure that our operations and businesses are prepared for climate challenges, strengthening governance related to the subject and implementing relevant risk management strategies and processes. Our main objectives are stated below:
 
·                                                    To reduce and mitigate the generation                                                 
    of greenhouse gases in our operations and manage the exposure of our operational structures to climate risks (for more information, see
