20 MATERIAL ISSUE RELEVANT NEGATIVE IMPACTS Effective or Potential Impact RELEVANT POSITIVE IMPACTS Effective or Potential Impact RELEVANT RISKS RELEVANT OPPORTUNITIES Climate Change Climate change mitigation Increase in greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution caused by the use of inefficient vehicles or their incorrect use. P Negative impacts on society due to insufficient/inadequate monitoring of environmental regulations, which may negatively affect operations, imposing additional costs for product and technology compliance or fines. Severe physical events (floods and droughts) could cause damage to infrastructure, interruptions in value chains, market expectation changes, leading to increased risk, volatility, and losses in asset values in certain markets. Energy Contribution to reducing environmental impact through energy efficiency initiatives, such as using renewable energy for office lighting, optimizing logistics, and transitioning to automated energy management technologies. P Financial risk due to increased energy costs without a transition to renewable sources (e.g., choosing green suppliers, purchasing guarantees of origin, fleet replacement), resulting in higher operating costs and compromised business continuity. Participation in an energy community to optimize energy use, reduce costs, and contribute to environmental sustainability through strategic partnerships, resulting in financial benefits such as energy savings, cost reduction, increased visibility, and reputational gains. Increased share of purchased and selfproduced renewable energy reduces bills, enables access to incentives, increases energy independence (positively impacting business continuity), and enhances operational asset value.
