Over the next few years, we intend to step up our energy management efforts, starting with comprehensive tracking of energy usage at all business premises and manufacturing facilities Group-wide. This will be accompanied by strengthened internal communications and education around energy use reduction, providing employees with actionable strategies to save energy in the course of everyday work, such as by switching off lights when not in use and minimising unnecessary travel for meetings. In addition, we will seek to install additional energy efficient appliances at certain business premises, enabling the cost- and resource-efficient sharing of energy. In seeking to reduce energy consumption wherever possible, we have earmarked renewable energy adoption as one of our key strategies, and intend to install solar panels at selected premises over the coming years. In totality, these energy management initiatives will serve to reduce our reliance on the grid, thereby minimising our negative exposure to potential energy price hikes and energy supply shortages. At the same time, it will enhance our operational efficiency, enabling us to produce goods and services at manageable cost levels over the long term. SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT ENERGY MANAGEMENT In parallel to our GHG emissions reduction efforts, we are seeking to reduce our environmental impact by adopting energy efficient technologies and increasing our use of renewable energy across our companies. This is of vital importance as our business interests diversify away from purely digital models and towards industries with high energy intensity, such as oil & gas and semiconductor manufacturing.
