Resolved clause
Resolution 16 is a non-binding advisory vote to consider and approve the Company’s climate-related financial disclosures. The disclosures represent the Company’s response to the recommendations of the TCFD and set out the Company’s climate strategy to reduce emissions within its operations and through its supply chain in order to get to Net Zero by 2030.

THEMATICS Asset ManagementFor
IrcantecAgainstPennon Group has set a Net Zero target by 2045, with interim goals for 2030 covering scopes 1 and 2 for three subsidiaries. While near-term targets are SBTi-validated and aligned with a 1.5°C pathway, the long-term ambition lacks clarity and official validation. Scope 3 emissions, which represent 84% of the total, are only partially addressed, with major categories excluded and no short-term reduction targets.

Although some progress has been made—such as reductions in scopes 1 and 2, renewable electricity targets, and supplier engagement—the overall climate strategy lacks transparency, detailed action plans, and full value chain coverage. The absence of quantified contributions per action and limited CAPEX alignment further weaken the credibility of the transition plan.

Given these gaps, Ircantec will vote against the Say on Climate resolution, while recognizing Pennon’s transparency efforts and encouraging stronger long-term commitments and full scope 3 integration.
