ÖBB Annual Report 2025

Group Management Report 108 Österreichische Bundesbahnen-Holding Aktiengesellschaft Consolidated Financial Statements | Group Management Report 65 Action plans and resources related to the climate strategies ÖBB has defined and funded specific actions to implement the climate change mitigation and adaptation targets. Implementation depends on the availability of funds. ESRS E1-3.28, 29, AR 21 The associated decarbonization levers and key climate change mitigation actions as well as the necessary investments are described in the “Transition plan for climate change mitigation” at the beginning of the chapter. For the areas of mobility, buildings and Scope 3, initial portfolios of measures with detailed action plans are in place, which, where possible, are integrated into the budget and medium-term planning. The following information shows the summarized actions per decarbonization lever as well as their impact, financial coverage and the relationship to material impacts, risks and opportunities. ESRS E1-3.29.a, b; ESRS E1.MDR-A.68.a, b, c, e *) GHG reduction potential of the action from 2022 (base year) to 2035. In addition to its own decarbonization efforts, ÖBB is also implementing action plans with decarbonization effects for Austria – particularly modal shift to rail and bus – by upgrading capacity and competitiveness (improving quality/productivity) to increase transport volumes by rail and bus: doubling capacity in the railway network by 2040 and improving quality, for example through new rolling stock for rail and bus (impact on E1-A-1, E1-F-4, E1-F-5, E1-F-6). Actions relating to the decarbonization levers per decarbonization area (AT+INT) Brief description GHG reduction Potential in t CO2e *) Implementation period Financial coverage yes/open Material impacts, risks, and opportunities Decarbonization area mobility (Scope 1 and 2) Replacement of diesel – procurement of locomotives and buses with alternative drive systems and replacement of diesel vehicles, electrification of non-electrified routes (electrification rate 80% by 2030 and 89% by 2035) 75,881 (2018) 2022–2035 y E1-F-3, E1-A-1, E1- A2, E1-F-4, E1-F-5, E1-F-6, E1-F-7, E1-F-9 Increasing energy efficiency (bundle of traction current action plans + bundle of diesel action plans) 3,039 (2019) 2022 – 2026 y E1-F-3, E1-A-1, E1- A-3, E1-F-4, E1-F-6, E1-F-7, E1-F-9 Use of PFAS-free refrigerants tbd. by 2030 E1-A-5, E1-F-7, E1-F-9, E1-F-8 Increase in own energy supply (applies to AT) – Repowering hydropower: Revitalization and new construction – Spullersee hydropower plant, Obervellach II hydropower plant, Tauernmoos pumped storage hydropower plant: renewable energy sources: photovoltaic systems / wind power No GHG reduction effect 2021 – 2030 y E1-F-3, E1-A-1, E1- A-3, E1-F-4, E1-F-6, E1-F-7, E1-A-8, E1-F-9, E1-F-10 Increase in own energy supply(applies to INT): installation of photovoltaic systems for electric forklift operations 52 2026 y E1-F-3, E1-A-1, E1- A-3, E1-F-4, E1-F-6, E1-F-7, E1-A-8, E1-F-9, E1-F-10 Total mobility (Scope 1 and 2) 78,972 Decarbonization area buildings (Scope 1 and 2) Phasing out fossil fuels – phasing out heating oil by 2030, phasing out fossil gas, using decarbonized district heating, phasing out gas- powered point heating systems. 42,209 (2019) 2022 – 2035 y E1-A-4, E1-A-5, E1- A-7, E1-F-4, E1-F-7, E1-F-8, E1-A-8, E1- F-9, E1-F-10 Total buildings (Scope 1 and 2) 42,209 Decarbonization area Scope 3 Targeted reduction of Scope 3 emissions – fuel- and energy-related emissions from mobility and buildings (Scope 3.3) 34,434 (2018) 2022 – 2035 y E1-A-7, E1-F-4, E1-F-5, E1-F-6, E1-F-7, E1-F-9, E1-F-10 Optimal co-utilization of decarbonization developments in ÖBB’s key industries (Scope 3 drivers of the most important material groups from the procurement of capital goods, consumer, goods and services – Scope 3.1 and 3.2) 163,500 2025–2030 0 – or ongoing for procurements E1-A-6, E1-A-7, E1-F-4, E1-F-6, E1-F-9 Total Scope 3 197,934 | MR65 E.  Non-financial statement E.1.
