Through our Net Zero exercise, we conducted scenario analysis, incorporating various climaterelated assumptions, including differing levels of greenhouse gas emissions, potential changes in regulatory policies, and technological advancements in our proposed decarbonisation pathways. These projections served as a starting point for including climate risk in our enterprise risk framework.
