ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
Carbon footprint & other atmospheric emissions
The organization's main indicator for measuring its climate change impact is its carbon footprint. This indicator includes direct (scope 1) and indirect (scope 2) emissions associated with electricity consumption, as well as a portion of other (scope 3) indirect emissions.

Concerned about climate change, Aciturri has approved a Decarbonization Plan for its work centers in Spain, setting short- and long-term objectives for the years 2024-2050.

The Decarbonization Committee has been established to manage this plan.

A review of the 2023 analysis of risks and opportunities related to climate change has also been conducted. This analysis was conducted in accordance with the CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project) questionnaire, based on the concepts of the TCFD (Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures). The objective is to establish an action plan to mitigate these risks. No substantial changes have been identified with respect to the initial assessment results.

The organization's main indicator for measuring its climate change impact is its carbon footprint. This indicator includes direct (scope 1) and indirect (scope 2) emissions associated with electricity consumption, as well as a portion of other (scope 3) indirect emissions.

31. Until 2022, the facilities included in the calculation are those related to the companies Aciturri Aeronáutica, S.L.U., Aciturri Aerostructures, S.L.U., Aciturri Aeroengines, S.L.U., Aciturri Engineering, S.L.U., Aciturri Aerostructures, S.L.U., Aciturri Aerostructures, S.L.U. and Aciturri Aerostructures, S.L.U.
32. [The data related to the carbon footprint is modified with respect to that reported in the year 2023. This calculation includes the carbon footprint of Brazil, which was not included in the 2023 Report.
33. The carbon footprint data reported in the 2023 Sustainability Report was calculated using 2022 emission factors, as the 2023 factors were unavailable at the time this document was finalized. The data included in this document was calculated using 2023 emission factors and actual consumption data.
34. The reported data are provisional and were calculated using 2023 emission factors. At the time of writing, 2024 emission factors were not available. The calculations also used estimated consumption data. The Morocco plant does not have a calculated carbon footprint. Scope 3 data will be reported in the 2025 Sustainability Report.
35. The data reported in the 2023 sustainability report differs from this figure, as explained in note 19.
35b. Until 2022, the Scope 3 calculation only included emissions associated with transportation, as well as air- and non-air-freightable raw materials and waste, for facilities linked to Aciturri Aeronáutica, S.L.U., Aciturri Aerostructures, S.L.U., and Aciturri Aeroengines, S.L.U. , and Aciturri Engineering, S.L.U. In 2024, the carbon footprint measurement and calculation procedure was updated to include all of the group's sites in Spain, Brazil, and France. Morocco was excluded from the 2023 calculation because it joined the company in October 2024. Regarding category 1, the purchase of goods and services, all acquired purchases and services have been evaluated. This includes all basic items, parts sent by suppliers, software services, external consulting services, and so on. Emissions from investments made in the plants are included in category 2. This procedure was used to calculate emissions for 2023.

In addition to greenhouse gas emissions, some facilities in Spain produce volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, which are particularly significant at plants in Puerto Real, Boecillo, Tres Cantos, and Vitoria.

There are no significant VOC emissions in Brazil, France, or Morocco.

36. Data according to solvent management plans. Solvents from those plants whose consumption is reported to the competent Administration are accounted for.
37. Measurement begins in 2023, at the request of the Administration.

These emissions are managed in accordance with Royal Decree 117/2003, which limits emissions of volatile organic compounds resulting from the use of solvents in certain activities. Aciturri reduces these emissions by replacing certain substances with less volatile ones.

In 2024, toluene was eliminated from the Mairena plant during a cleaning process and replaced with a non-hazardous, VOC-free cleaner, which resulted in a reduction in volatile organic compound emissions.

In 2022, the competent authorities were requested to grant an exemption from compliance with the limits established for diffuse emissions due to the application of the best available techniques, including solvent changes, control programs, and training. This procedure is still pending resolution.

Periodic noise measurements are carried out in all workplaces where the competent authority requires them, in compliance with the established limits.

At the Boecillo plant, improvements have been made to the extraction systems to reduce noise levels. However, subsequent measurements have revealed further opportunities for improvement, which are still being analyzed.

Light pollution at Aciturri's facilities is not significant because the lighting is similar to that of the surrounding areas, which is necessary for people to move around. No specific actions are taken in this regard.
