2 | Carbon footprint | Carbon footprint | 65.70 | million metric tCO2e | Integrated Annual Report 2024 Pg. 43 | In line with ESRS E1 requirements, E.ON calculates its emissions using the globally recognized WRI/WBCSD Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard ("GHG Protocol") for the now seven GHGs covered by the Kyoto Protocol: carbon dioxide ("CO2"), methane ("CH4"), nitrous oxide ("N2O"), hydrofluorocarbons ("HFCs"), perfluorocarbons ("PFCs"), sulfur hexafluoride ("SF6") and also nitrogen trifluoride ("NF3"). CO2 is by far our biggest GHG. Other GHGs like SF6 and CH4 contribute to E.ON's climate impact. But they account for a much smaller share of our GHG emissions than CO2. Global warming potential ("GWP") indicates how much GHGs affect global warming over a period of time compared with CO2. All GHG emissions can be expressed as CO2 equivalents ("CO2e") and therefore be accounted together. | |||||||
3 | GHG intensity of investee companies | GHG intensity of investee companies | 0.85 | metric tons of CO2e per thousand EUR | Integrated Annual Report 2024 Pg. 45 | The ratio of location-based emission intensity to net revenues is 0.85 metric tons of CO2e per thousand EUR, the ratio of market-based emissions intensity is 0.88 metric tons of CO2e per thousand EUR. Revenues are equal to net sales excluding electricity and energy taxes as shown in the Consolidated Statement of Income. | The year-over-year trend in GHG intensity based on annual revenue values is not meaningful for E.ON, as revenue is not a key performance indicator for the company and is subject to significant fluctuations due to energy price variations | ||||||
4 | Exposure to companies active in the fossil fuel sector | Active in fossil fuel sector? (y/n) | Y | n.a. | Integrated Annual Report 2024 Pg. 48 | In 2024, E.ON consumed 17 million MWh of energy, with 43 percent from renewable sources. The ESRS classifies E.ONs activities in energy supply and water supply as sectors with high climate impact due to its involvement in energy distribution, sales, generation, and water supply. E.ONs gas distribution and sales activities generated approximately EUR19.9 billion in revenue in 2024, but it does not report taxonomy-aligned revenues from fossil gas. Additional information can be found in the "EU Taxonomy Key Figures and Templates" section of the Sustainability Statement. | |||||||
5 | Share of non-renewable energy consumption and production | % of non-renewable energy consumption & production (of total energy consumption) | Non-renewable energy consumption: 57% Non-renewable energy production: 54% | percent | Integrated Annual Report 2024 Pg. 44- 45 | E.ON has a clear strategy to reduce its share of non-renewable energy consumption and production as part of its commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility. The company aims to transition towards a more sustainable energy mix by increasing the share of renewable energy sources in its portfolio. This includes investing in renewable energy projects such as wind and solar power, as well as exploring innovative technologies to reduce carbon emissions. E.ON also focuses on energy efficiency measures to optimize its operations and minimize the environmental impact of its activities. Overall, E.ONs policies and strategy prioritize the shift towards cleaner and more sustainable energy sources to contribute to a greener future. E.ON will shut down its few remaining coal-fired heat generation plants by 2030 and, at the same time, decarbonize other types of fossil-fueled generation. Furthermore, moving forward no investments in coal- and oil-based activities are planned and only limited funds will be invested in transitional technology for natural gas. | |||||||
6 | Energy consumption intensity per high impact climate sector | Energy consumption in GWh per million EUR of revenue | 0.00021 | GWh per million EUR | Integrated Annual Report 2024 Pg. 45 | E.ON consumed 17 million MWh of energy in 2024, of which renewable energy accounted for 43 percent. In line with E.ON's business model, all Group activities are assigned to the energy supply sector, which the ESRS define as a sector with a high climate impact, because E.ON's three business divisions make it active in energy distribution, sales, and generation. In addition, E.ON has water-supply activities, which is also defined as a sector with a high climate impact. The ratio of E.ON's energy intensity to net revenues is 0.21 MWh per thousand EUR. | |||||||
7 | Biodiversity | Activites negatively affecting biodiversity sensitive areas | Site/operations located in or near to biodiversity-sensitive areas where activities negatively affect those areas? (y/n) | Y | n.a. | Integrated Annual Report 2024 Pg. 48 | E.ON conducted a biodiversity impact assessment. We used standardized industry data from the ENCORE platform and geodata to assess more than 100 facilities and suppliers. The findings are divided into the dependencies of E.ON's business activities on ecosystem services and these activities' impacts on ecosystem services. Energy infrastructure unavoidably impacts surrounding ecosystems, particularly at facilities in or near areas whose biodiversity needs protection. This therefore also applies to the facilities of E.ON, Europe's largest distribution network operator. In addition, as part of our commitment to environmental responsibility, all site operations undergo legally mandated environmental impact assessments (EIAs). These assessments identify potential impacts on biodiversity-sensitive areas and ensure that appropriate mitigation measures are implemented in accordance with regulatory requirements. | ||||||
8 | Water | Emissions to water | Tonnes of emissions to water | - | metric tons | Integrated Annual Report 2024 Pg. 48- 49 | E.ON has a commitment to environmental responsibility and sustainability, which includes managing its impact on water resources. The company likely has measures in place to minimize any potential negative impacts on water quality and ecosystems. This may involve implementing best practices for water management, complying with relevant regulations, and continuously monitoring and reducing any emissions or discharges that could affect water resources. Further information on this can be found in the Annual Report in the Environmental Management chapter, section "Responsible Water Management". | ||||||

12 | Board's gender diversity | % of female board members | BoM= 40% SB = 38% | percent | Integrated Annual Report 2024 pg. 31 | E.ON is committed to promote the participation of women in leadership positions. When appointing members of the Management Board, the candidates' outstanding professional qualifications, long-term leadership experience and past performance, as well as value-driven management are of paramount importance. Members are to be capable of taking forwardlooking strategic decisions. Attention is paid to diversity when appointing members of the Management Board. For the Supervisory Board, diversity means, in particular, different complementary academic profiles, professional and personal experience, personalities, as well as internationality and a reasonable age and gender structure. To ensure sustainable corporate governance, the selection process also takes into account sustainability aspects that enable candidates to make strategic and operational business decisions. Additionally, E.ON aim to increase the proportion of female managers to 32 percent. This corresponds to the overall share of female employees at E.ON. | |||||||

Corruption generates decisions for unlawful reasons, prevents progress and innovation, distorts competition and harms companies. Corruption is therefore prohibited under penalty and can hence lead to fines for the company and criminal prosecution for the employee, executives and Board Members concerned. We are committed to fighting corruption in any form all over the world and thus are a member of the Global Compact. We therefore support national and international efforts to combat corruption and reject any corrupt behavior. This applies, in particular, to granting so-called acceleration payments ("Facilitation Payments" - payments of small amounts directly to the responsible officials). These are unlawful and punishable in most countries and can lead to very significant penalties depending on the region. The Anti-Corruption People Guideline must be adhered to when accepting and granting gratuities in dealing with business partners as well as public officials and mandate holders. | E.ON Code of Conduct | |||
