ESG cautionary statement In preparing the ESG-related information contained in this document, we have made a number of key judgements, estimations and assumptions. The processes, methodologies, and issues involved in preparing this information are complex. The ESG data, models, and methodologies used are often relatively new, rapidly evolving and are not necessarily of the same standard as those available in the context of financial and other information. Furthermore, they are not subject to the same or equivalent disclosure standards, historical reference points, benchmarks or globally accepted accounting principles. It is not possible to rely on historical data as a strong indicator of future trajectories in the case of climate change and its evolution. Outputs of models, processed data, and methodologies may be affected by underlying data quality, which can be hard to assess, and we expect industry guidance, standards, market practice, and regulations in this field to continue to evolve. There are also challenges faced in relation to the ability to access certain data on a timely basis and the lack of consistency and comparability between data that is available. This means the ESG-related forward-looking statements, information, and targets discussed in this document carry an additional degree of inherent risk and uncertainty.
