13 Life Is On | Schneider Electric www.se.com 2021 Sustainable Development Report Based on our assessment, which covers 100% of Schneider consolidated sales, the total share of Schneider Impact revenues is 71% in 2021 versus 70% in 2019. In addition, to further contribute to a new electric and digital world, 100% of Schneider Electric’s innovation projects are aligned with its purpose, more than 90% qualifying as impact innovation under Schneider’s definition, or neutral. This concerns every innovation contributing to a decarbonized world, for instance energy and process efficiency, resource optimization, SF 6 -free projects, or Green Premium ™ offers. The methodology to calculate this figure is similar to the Schneider Impact Revenue methodology and should not be confused with OpEx and CapEx eligible under the EU Taxonomy. 1.3.3 New reporting requirements under the European Taxonomy Regulation The adoption of the Taxonomy Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2020/852) in 2020 establishes a European Union-wide classification system to identify economic activities that are considered as environmentally sustainable as part of the European Union’s long- term plan to connect finance with its sustainability goals. Dedicated Delegated Acts (DA) specify (or will specify), for each of the six environmental objectives identified, which activities are likely to make a substantial contribution to an objective (eligibility). Environmental objectives with published DA (covered in this eligibility assessment and subject to evolutions): 1. Climate change mitigation 2. Climate change adaptation Environmental objectives for which DA are not published yet: 3. Sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources 4. Transition to a circular economy 5. Pollution prevention and control 6. Protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems Pursuant to Article 8 of the regulation and the delegated regulation published on 6 July 2021, the proportion of turnover, Capital (CapEx) and Operational Expenditure (OpEx) resulting from products or services associated with economic activities considered sustainable is due to be reported progressively over the fiscal years 2021 to 2023. In FY 2021, large undertakings are required to disclose those three KPIs for activities eligible to climate objectives according to the EU Climate Delegated Act already published. Eligible activities then need to be subjected to a series of screening tests, to determine if they are Taxonomy-aligned and can be reported as such, meaning that corporates will have to demonstrate that the eligible activities do not significantly harm any of the other five objectives (“Does Not Significantly Harm”, DNSH criteria), and comply with minimum social safeguards (e.g. OECD, United Nations). 1.3.4 Gradual inclusion of economic activities to the EU Taxonomy In this report we focus on eligibility according to the current EU Climate DA published. Full reporting on eligibility and alignment for all six objectives is expected in 2024 (FY 2023). Nature of Schneider Electric’s main taxonomy-eligible economic activities under current Climate DA Energy efficiency in buildings Low CO 2 mobility end segment Renewables end segment Transmission and distribution of electricity Services related to energy performance of buildings Energy efficient building automation and control systems Smart monitoring and regulation of heating systems Zoned thermostats and devices for the smart monitoring of electricity loads or heat loads Electric vehicles charging stations and supporting grid reinforcement technologies Electrical infrastructure for urban and suburban public transport Port infrastructure for shore-side electrical power to vessels at berth and electrification and efficiency of ports’ operations Manufacture of renewable energy technologies, equipping wind and solar power generation capacities Equipment and projects for the construction of transmission and distribution infrastructure Communication and control technologies for the controllability and observability of the electricity system, such as advanced automation software Technical consultations such as energy audits, simulations and trainings Energy management services Energy performance contracts Proportion of Taxonomy-eligible economic activities in the Group’s total turnover, capital (CapEx) and operational expenditure (OpEx) 28% of turnover | 27% of CapEx | 23% OpEx
