IRO-2 – Disclosure requirements in ESRS covered by the undertaking’s sustainability report

The contents of this sustainability report were identified on the basis of the double materiality analysis. The exact procedure for the dual materiality analysis can be found in the section IRO-1 Description of the process to identify and assess material impacts, risks and opportunities. The selection of datapoints was based on the results of the materiality analysis. Based on this, the materiality and applicability of individual datapoints were also evaluated on a case-by-case basis. In addition, the material company-specific topics are disclosed through concepts, measures, and goals in accordance with the structure of the ESRS.

The following is a summary of all datapoints resulting from other EU legislation listed in ESRS 2 Annex B, including references to the relevant page number or information that the datapoint was not considered material.
