PAIs

The Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) aims to increase transparency regarding the extent to which financial products have material adverse impacts on sustainability factors. Against this background, we present the key indicators under the SFDR—the so called Principal Adverse Impacts (PAIs) – in tabular form for investors and financial market participants.

The PAIs comprise indicators relating to environmental, social and employee matters, respect for human rights, as well as the fight against corruption and bribery. For the 2025 reporting year, our disclosures focus on the PAI indicators that are mandatory for financial market participants under the SFDR.

In each case, the English name of the indicator is authoritative. As no official German translation has been published, our German translation is provided solely for ease of understanding.

	Carbon footprint	ESRS E1‑6 – Gross Scopes 1, 2, 3 and total GHG emissions
	GHG emission intensity (Scope 1 + 2 + 3) (by revenue)	ESRS E1‑6 – Gross Scopes 1, 2, 3 and total GHG emissions ESRS E1‑5 – Energy consumption and mix
	Exposure to fossil fuel companies		We are not in the fossil fuel industry.
	Share of the consumption and production of non-renewable energy by investee companies from non-renewable energy sources compared to renewable energy sources, expressed as a percentage of total energy sources		Share of non-renewable energies in total consumption: 6.8 % Non renewable energy comprises various fossil energy sources as well as energy used for heating and cooling.
