Analysing the impact of greenhouse gas emissions on climate change, it should be noted that gases such as carbon dioxide, methane and nitrogen dioxide are the main factors of global warming.

One of the Company’s main objectives in the fight against climate change is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions both in the medium and long term by reducing energy consumption and increasing the energy efficiency of production.

In 2023, the EPS assessed greenhouse gas emissions from the activities of the Enterprise (Scope 1) in accordance with the principles of combating climate change. The assessment included emissions from stationary and mobile sources, including from the vehicle fleet, using the international IPCC methodology. This tool of standardised approaches ensures comparability of data across regions and countries.

Reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 36% is a significant achievement, which was achieved through the implementation of a set of measures to improve technical equipment and technological processes. This result confirms the effectiveness of the measures taken and the strategic attention paid to environmental and sustainable development issues. Optimising work processes, introducing modern technologies and using environmentally friendly solutions have become key factors in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

In the future, the Company plans to develop a strategy for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and assess climate risks in accordance with the requirements of international standards. This plan includes an assessment of greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 2).
