Climate-Related Financial Disclosure Report

In December 2023, ENN Energy released its first climate-related financial disclosure report. This report aims to demonstrate the Company's attention to climate change issues and its determination to actively address climate-related risks and seize climate-related opportunities, in response to the requirements and expectations of regulators, the capital markets, and stakeholders for climate-related financial disclosure.

In this released climate-related financial disclosure report, ENN Energy provided a detailed overview of the impact of its Governance, Strategy, Risk Management, and Metrics and Targets on the Company's operations and business model by referring to the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) framework.

Governance
The Board of Directors of ENN Energy continues to improve its climate change governance structure in response to the global climate challenge. ENN Energy is committed to effectively promoting the implementation of climate strategy, reducing the impact of climate-related risks on the Company's development and operations through organisational safeguards, and seizing development opportunities from energy globalisation and low-carbon transition.

Strategy
ENN Energy has committed to a green and low-carbon transition as part of its significant strategy plan. The Company has developed a comprehensive strategy to implement six major emission reduction actions in the areas of (1) city gas methane management, (2) low-carbon trade and transportation, (3) energy structure transformation of the integrated energy business, (4) system energy efficiency improvement, (5) green technology application, and (6) green office. ENN Energy also establishes short and medium-term carbon reduction targets for 2030 and the long-term carbon neutrality target for 2050. The Company conducts a review and adjustment of these targets every three years to ensure their science, rational, and effectiveness.

Risk Management
ENN Energy considers effective risk and compliance management to be critical to the Company's development and has continued to improve its enterprise risk management system.

ENN Energy has identified nine types of risks: policy and price; compliance; operation; reputation; legal; health, safety and environment (HSE); market; finance; and climate change. Among these, climate-related risks, which might have significant impacts on the Company's business scope, has been integrated into the overall risk management process of ENN Energy.

In 2023, ENN Energy identified a total of 40 climate-related risks and opportunities, including 10 physical risks, 14 transition risks, and 16 opportunities. Based on this identification, each risk was deeply considered and scored in terms of likelihood and severity through expert assessment and workshops with ENN Energy. A shortlist of most crucial climate-related risks and opportunities was then developed based on their possibility and materiality to the Company, of which comprising five risks and two opportunities. An in-depth financial quantitative assessment (Value-at-Stake analysis, VaS) was conducted for the shortlisted risks and opportunities.

Future Outlook
Climate change has become a common challenge for humanity and current global climate policies and actions are far from achieving the goals set in the Paris Agreement of limiting the global warming to 2°C or 1.5°C. The recently concluded 28th Conference of the Parties (COP28) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) after the Paris Agreement came into effect and reached the milestone 'UAE Consensus'. The global stocktake showed clearly that the global climate progress is not prompt enough, ambition and determination must be strengthened in the critical years ahead.

Looking forward to the future, ENN Energy will continuously enhance its capabilities in climate governance, and follow the trend of the times, and seize the huge opportunities arising from the energy transition to provide our customers with clean and low-carbon energy, work with upstream and downstream partners to contribute to achieve China's "dual carbon" goal. ENN Energy will respond to climate-related risks in a highly strategic and forward-looking manner. The Company will actively seek green innovative solutions, continue to implement decarbonisation actions and explore new areas of business growth opportunities, and continuously monitor and manage climate-related risks to prevent the potential financial impact of climate change and the negative impact on business operations promptly. ENN Energy will also seize the market opportunities arising from the low-carbon transition.

ENN Energy will shoulder the mission of energy companies in response to the global climate challenge and work together with stakeholders to build a low-carbon, green, and sustainable future for the earth and humanity.

ENN Energy Net-Zero Roadmap

ENN Energy is committed to the mission of "Create a Modern Energy System, Improve the Quality of People's Life, and Become a Respectable, Innovative and Intelligent Enterprise." We have incorporated sustainability concepts in strategy design and daily operation and set an aggressive 2050 net-zero emission target to combat climate change. Our net-zero emission roadmap reaffirms the company's priority of achieving net-zero emission. Without relying on purchased carbon offsets, we are dedicated to reducing and naturalising carbon emissions with this action plan.

Decarbonisation Action 2030

As an energy company, it is our responsibility to make an effort to support the low-carbon development of customers, eco-partners, government, and communities when greening our development model. The journey to net-zero is long whereas we are unstoppable. Thus, we decide to progress low-carbon development for the company as well as the society and publish this Decarbonisation Action 2030, which covers Scope I and II emissions of our city gas business, energy generating facilities of the integrated energy business (IEB), and office area.

Self-decarbonisation

Methane management, low-carbon transportation, energy transformation, efficiency improvement, and green application are the dimensions we considered to drive energy conservation and emission reduction at the operational level.

• Decarbonisation Action Taken in City Gas Business

We set a target of reducing greenhouse gas emission intensity (scope1&2 greenhouse gas emissions/gas sold) by 20% by 2030, comparing to the intensity in 2019.

• By incorporating methane management into the emission reduction scheme, we decide to disclose methane emission data in 2023 with improving transparency, and will engage our eco-partners;
• The energy transportation fleet will be completely powered by low-carbon fuels by the end of 2025.

• Green Development of IEB

Fossil fuel combustion and purchased electricity are the main sources of Scope I and II emissions of IEB. We set the target to reduce the carbon emission intensity per unit of energy generated (Scope I and II greenhouse gas emissions/energy sold by energy generating facilities of IEB) by 48% from the energy generating facilities of IEB by 2030, compared to the 2019 baseline.

• We continuously expand the application of renewable energy and zero-carbon energy such as solar energy, biomass energy, geothermal energy, and hydrogen energy. By 2030, the proportion of zero-carbon energy consumption in our energy structure will increase to 36%;
• Intelligent tools such as the Serlink Smart Energy Management Platform, are developed to build up our intelligence capabilities and improve the overall energy efficiency of energy generating facilities by 5% by 2030 against the existing level of 90%.
• We intend to promote carbon-negative technologies. Therefore, we will introduce carbon capture utilisation and storage (CCUS) pilot projects in energy generating facilities of IEB by 2025, which will naturalise 5% annual carbon emission caused by natural gas consumption.

• Green Office
• In addition to our plan to decrease 10% energy consumption per unit, solar energy generation in self-owned office buildings will increase to 5% of total energy consumed within 5 years.
• 50% of employees shuttle bus, industrial parks commuter bus and pipeline patrolling vehicles will be powered by new energy by 2025.

Building A Low-carbon Society

Since carbon peak and carbon neutrality targets have stimulated demands for low-carbon, products and services including low-carbon product portfolios, clean energy solutions, and smart energy management systems have become the tools to serve customers' clean, low-carbon, energy-efficient transformation, and to support the constructions of low-carbon industrial parks, green factories, green buildings, green households, as well as a low-carbon society.

• Low-carbon Industrial Park and Green Factory
• The carbon-oriented integrated energy services, which are tailored to local conditions, prioritising clean energy use and multi-energy complimentary, can guide the customers to develop a smart and cost-effective energy management system. By 2025, we would help our customers build 50 green factories and 50 low-carbon industrial parks;
• By 2030, the number of green factories and low-carbon industrial parks we serve for customers will increase to 200 respectively.
• Green Building
• Relying on energy-saving technology and project experience, we can provide green and energy conservation solutions and services to energy-intensive buildings such as hospitals, hotels, airports, and office buildings.
• Green Household
• Intelligent technologies including LoRa (Long Range Radio), IoT (Internet of Things), big data can be used to serve residential customers' needs of smart energy usage, safety, and low-carbon quality lifestyle.

Promoting Practices and Applications of Green Technology

Carbon peak and carbon neutrality targets significantly contributed to innovations of carbon energy technologies, which could further facilitate our decarbonisation process and improve our low-carbon serving capabilities. We will closely track new green technologies such as biomass, geothermal, energy storage, hydrogen, and CCUS, adopt these technologies into the energy ecosystem and build up demonstration projects for further promotion.

The coming 30 years are critical for China to manage its response to climate changes , aligning with opportunities and challenges brought by the carbon neutrality goal. In the course of achieving the ultimate goal of carbon neutrality, we would like to publish this report to outline ENN Energy's plans for the first 10 years to achieve its carbon ambitions. On our journey to net-zero, we will review the blueprints and adjust our plans every three years following industrial technology development and our decarbonisation status. It is expected that the report will be a reference to our peers and bring value to them, thus promoting low-carbon development across the industry. We are also looking for further cooperation with eco-partners and alliances, providing green energy supply to our customers and improving corporate reputation in terms of low-carbon energy.
