EJOT Corporate Carbon Footprint Report 2020

1. Preface Dear readers, Germany is pursuing the ambitious goal of becoming CO2 neutral by 2050. As a successful industrial company, EJOT supports this demanding project of the federal government. Basically, this means we transfer our previous efforts to save energy and CO2 into a sustainability project. Climate change is on everyone's lips and we want to achieve real reductions in consumption by means of the previous goal of a disproportionately low increase in our CO2 consumption. A challenging task, especially since CO2-neutral steel or plastic granulate can not be expected for a long time.

Last year, the greenhouse gas balance of the German EJOT sites was checked for the first time by an external company, the German Society for the Certification of Management Systems (DQS), using the international standard DIN EN ISO 14064. This was particularly important in order to identify sources of error and potential for improvement. But also to ensure a credible and transparent position towards our internal and external stakeholders when it comes to reducing greenhouse gases.

Under the guiding principle "Quality connects – Sustainability joins", EJOT is committed to three core statements and is thus further developing the strategy towards a CO2-neutral company until the year 2030: • • •

Thinking sustainably More efficient Green energy

Of course, we also look at our international production facilities in our process of reducing our CO2 emissions. Sites such as EJOT Poland, EJOT China, EJOT ATF Mexico and EJOT Tezmak (Turkey) have grown strongly in recent years and will continue to expand their production in the future. Even during the planning phases for renovations and new buildings, the idea of sustainability is kept in mind in order to reduce CO2 emissions. Modern technology such as building management systems and energy measurement systems are used for this purpose.

With our activities to save energy and increase energy efficiency, we effectively promote and shape the transformation to a sustainable and climate-neutral company.

EJOT Corporate Carbon Footprint Report 2020

Summary In order to achieve the ambitious goal "EJOT will be climate-neutral by 2030”, even more will be invested in solar and heat recovery systems in the future. With the entry into electromobility, we want to reduce another source of emissions to zero.

By purchasing “green electricity certificates”, we have been offsetting CO2 emissions from electricity consumption since the beginning of 2021. This certificate confirms that the electricity is obtained exclusively from hydropower plants.

In the past few years, the EJOT environmental/energy management system has continuously improved the collection and evaluation of the required data.

It is encouraging that the greenhouse gas emissions in the categories Scope 1 – 3 at the German EJOT sites have been continuously reduced since 2016. In the area of indirect emissions (Scope 3), downstream transport emissions, for example, which also make up a significant share of greenhouse gases at EJOT, must also be listed since 2019, in accordance with the principle of materiality. This area is difficult to influence directly by EJOT, but is among other things the responsibility of transport companies. For the responsible department Supply Chain Management (SCM) at EJOT, it is a strategic goal to work with transport companies that position themselves sustainably and reduce transport emissions.

Our projects are - amongst others: • • • • •

Replacement of old space heating systems for energy-efficient systems Conversion of old lighting systems to LED Energy-efficient compressors and monitoring of compressed air consumption Energy-efficient ventilation systems with heat recovery.

Expansion of renewable energies, e.g. construction of photovoltaic systems for renovations and new buildings

Scope 3 - Other indirect emissions upstream value chain (only Germany) 3.1

Purchased goods and services

Sourced wire, sourced granulate, cleaning agents, oils and greases, chemicals, packaging and purchased products are examined.

Only weight quantities are considered.

Litres are converted into kilograms.

3.2

Capital goods

This category is not considered because transparency cannot be guaranteed.

3.3

Fuel- and energy-related activities

The basis is the natural gas / heating oil and electricity consumption from scope 1 and 2, as well as the consumption of diesel, petrol and liquefied petroleum gas.

3.4

Upstream transportation and distribution

The scope category was excluded because the emissions incurred can be assigned to the suppliers.

Scope 3 - Other indirect emissions upstream value chain (only Germany) 3.5

Waste generated in operations

The basis is the annual waste balance.

3.6

Business travel

Only flights are considered.

For air travel emission factors, 9% are added to the distance in order to account for additionally covered distances (e.g. rerouting, holding patterns). Furthermore, this value is multiplied by a "Radiative Forcing Index (RFI) of 1.9, which accounts for the increased impact of air travel emissions.

3.7

Employee commuting

The distance from the employee's hometown to his workplace is considered.

The basis are 220 working days.

6. Materiality analysis 6.1.

Criteria

By defining 4 criteria, the scope categories 1 to 3 have to be considered for their importance / materiality for the company. This applies in particular to the Scope 3 category (emission sources of the upstream and downstream value chain).

The criteria already defined in the specification sheet and in this CCF report were merged.

The following equally weighted criteria were determined: 1.

2.

3.

4.

Difficulties in obtaining the data Data quality Relevance for the company (amount of emissions in tons) Controllability of the emission source

Depending on the subdivision of the criterion, points are awarded when assessing the scope category (see table: "Criteria for assessing materiality"). The following applies: The more points a scope category achieves, the more important it is and should therefore also be reported. In the mean of the 4 criteria, a maximum of 100 points can be achieved (100 points for each criterion).

The categories Scope 1 and Scope 2 are classified as essential for EJOT, regardless of the points achieved.

Scope 3 categories with an average of <50 points are removed from the assessment. The reasons are recorded in the materiality analysis.

The following criteria were specified:

13

EJOT Corporate Carbon Footprint Report 2020

Results of the materiality analysis

The scope categories “means of production / capital goods” and “upstream transport” were removed from the survey due to high uncertainties in the data quality and in the procurement of the data Both categories are below 50 points and are marked in BLACK. All other scope categories listed in the graphics are> 50 points and marked RED. These categories are considered in the survey because they are essential.

DQS Certification audit September 2020

Determining the downstream transport emissions posed a major challenge in improving the greenhouse gas balance. This scope category 3.9 had to be collected retrospectively due to the new standard requirement of ISO 14064 as of 2018.

After we spoke with our most important logistics companies about the survey of emissions, it emerged that the transports from the Herrenwiese and Stockwiese locations are roughly in balance and only about 5% of the transports are handled via the Tambach location.

The following transport emissions could be determined from the 4 most important logistics companies. It was confirmed to us that the emissions were recorded on the basis of the ISO 16258 standard.

7.1.1. Total CO2e emissions Germany Compared to the base year 2016, the total emissions scope 1,2 and 3 at the German locations could be reduced by 15%.

In 2019, in addition to Scope 3 categories 3.1, 3.3, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.12 for the first time the downstream transport emissions, Scope 3.9, were also taken into account.

The internal survey of the downstream transport emissions Scope 3.9 proved to be very difficult and had to be corrected retrospectively for 2019. In close cooperation with our largest logistics companies, it was possible to determine the emissions for our delivery locations for 2020. In addition to land transport, transport by sea and air was also taken into account.

7.1.3. What have we achieved?

•

Efficiency analyses and the continuous setup of energy measurement systems make energy hotspots visible at the various locations. Selected locations are linked to reporting software.

•

The replacement of old technology and the use of new energy-efficient machines is continuously monitored by our strategic purchasing department.

•

Continuous replacement of old lamps with energy-efficient lighting systems.

•

In order to influence emissions from electricity consumption, compressed air optimisation measures are being pursued at all production sites.

•

More video and telephone conferences instead of air travel have reduced emissions from air traffic.

7.1.4. Further significant emission sources Another significant emission source of the scope 1 category are emissions from the EJOT motor pool. To reduce these emissions EJOT has set the goal of converting the entire vehicle fleet to 100% electric mobility by 2030. Gradually, the infrastructure is being expanded at the different sites with the construction of additional charging stations.

EJOT Corporate Carbon Footprint Report 2020

In the scope 3 category, which describes the upstream and downstream value-added chain, further important emission sources have to be stated. Emissions from purchased granulate and wire can hardly be influenced and depend on the customers' demand for our products. In 2020, the corona pandemic had a direct impact on this scope category.

Chart 7

- 24% less Emissions from the purchased goods Scope 3.1 compared to base year 2016

7.1.5. Less significant emission sources Emissions from the disposal of waste, air travel and the disposal of products sold by the end consumer are less than 1000 t per year and less significant.

Nevertheless, it is very important to EJOT to avoid, reduce or recycle waste wherever possible.

Business trips are reduced by using modern cross-border communication options. At the end of their life cycle, most of our metal and plastic products are recyclable and can be returned to the material cycle.

8. Assumptions and uncertainties 8.1.

EJOT Germany

Scope 1.1 Direct emissions from stationary combustion processes [natural gas consumption]: There are uncertainties in data transmission. A central monitoring of the natural gas consumption by the UAG department is not yet possible.

Scope 1.3 Direct fugitive emissions [leakage loss at cooling systems]: Due to the large number of cooling and air conditioning systems, a general loss of 2% per year and system volume was assumed.

All cooling and air conditioning systems that are listed in the documentation for compliance with legal requirements are taken into account. The age of the system is no longer taken into account, as older systems are gradually being replaced by new technology. Large systems which require monitoring, such as cooling systems at the locations Tambach, Berghausen and In der Aue are checked for leakage losses using the existing operation logs.

Scope 3.1 Purchased goods and services Considered are wire, granulates, gases, cleaning agents, oils and greases, chemicals, aluminium slit strip, packaging material and purchased goods for the Construction Division in Bad Laasphe. Goods supplied and used by cleaning companies, such as toilet paper, paper towels, cleaning agents, bin liners were assessed for the first time in 2018. However, these emissions are negligible. Only weight quantities are considered. Litres are converted into kilograms. Quantities which were listed in pieces or bottles in the data transmission will not be considered. There are uncertainties in the emission factors. For granulate and wire, an averaged value is used.

Scope 3.6 Business travel: The distance calculator luftlinie.org is used for flights. Destination airports for intermediate stops could not be considered. No train trips, taxi trips or rental vehicles were considered.

Scope 3.7 Employee commuting: For employee commuting, the distance calculator google maps is used. No carpools have been taken into account. Commuting by foot or bicycle could not be taken into account. As a calculation basis, it was assumed that 1 employee works an average of 220 days. Possible inactive periods due to sick leave, for example, could not be considered.

Scope 3.9 Downstream transport emissions An evaluation is carried out by the largest logistics companies for the Herrenwiese, Tambach and Stockwiese locations. The emissions are determined in accordance with ISO 16258. The Scope 3.9 emissions for Germany from 2019 were incorrect and were subsequently estimated and corrected according to the figures from 2020.

Scope 3.12 End-of-life treatment of sold products: The basis is the respective sales volume at the locations Herrenwiese, Stockwiese and Berghausen.
