Annual Report 2025 – ÖBB-Infrastruktur AG

ÖBB-Infrastruktur Aktiengesellschaft Group Management Report | Consolidated Financial Statements 62 E1-3 E1-4 Measures and targets related to climate change mitigation and adaptation Various targets and measures have been defined in relation to climate protection and adaptation to climate change, which are presented in the tables below. These show, among other things, the progress made in implementing the transition plan. Climate change mitigation Target Target year Target level Unit/KPI Base year Base year value value 2025 Value 2024 Policies Material impacts, risks and oppor- tunities Reduction of Scope 1 and Scope 2 1) greenhouse gas emissions by 42% by 2030 and achievement of climate neutrality (net zero) by 2035 2030 / 2035 26,500 / Net zero 2) t CO 2 e 2022 45,762 39,814.6 (-13%) 39,610.6 E1-K-1 E1-K-2 E1-A-1 E1-A-4 E1-F-4 Reduction of Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions in the area of non-current assets for rail infrastructure by 10% by 2030 with the same amount of facilities built as in 2022 3) 2030 291,000 t CO 2 e 2022 323,934 323,934.3 323,934.3 E1-K-1 E1-K-2 E1-A-2 E1-F-4 E1-F-5 Increasing ÖBB’s level of self- sufficiency from renewable energies in the traction current sector 2030 80 % degree of self- sufficiency 2019 57.3 51.1 4) 65.2 E1-K-1 E1-K-2 E1-A-1 E1-A-6 E1-F-6 25% increase in internal energy efficiency 2030 2.15 kWh / train km 2019 3.08 2.61 2.64 E1-K-1 E1-K-2 E1-A-4 Increase in electrification rate 2030 80 % of electrified route network 2018 73 77 75 E1-K-1 E1-K-2 E1-A-1 Increasing the level of decarbonisation (track electrification and batteries) 2030 85 % dicarbon- ised rail network 2018 73 77 75 E1-K-1 E1-K-2 E1-A-1 1) Scope 2 Market-based consideration. 2) Target reduction level before offsetting residual emissions: approximately 4,600 tonnes of CO 2 e (-90% compared with the base year). 3) As the 2025 status in the Scope 3 target relates to the same quantities of installations constructed as in 2022, the status remains unchanged as long as of least the same quantity of installations is realised in the construction process and no effective greenhouse gas reductions have been achieved for the underlying materials. For this reason, the figure for 2025 in the table above differs from the figures in the greenhouse gas footprint. As the measures are still being developed and implementation is delayed due to the planning periods in the project, changes in the degree of target achievement will only be reflected in the medium term. The stated target covers 29% of the ÖBB-Infrastruktur Group’s total Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions in the base year. 4) The low self-sufficiency rate in 2025 is attributable to a decline in hydropower generation, caused by low rainfall and the refilling of the lake at the Tauernmoos construction site. Stakeholders are involved via the double materiality analysis, but they are not specifically included in the target formulation. Unless additionally described in the following tables, the respective targets were developed and defined as part of existing strategies by the relevant divisions/subsidiaries with the involvement of the relevant technical experts. The most important measures taken and planned to achieve the climate-related targets and objectives of the strategies are described below. These are included in the subgroup’s medium-term planning until 2031 and are therefore backed by budgetary resources. The medium-term plan is evaluated and adjusted annually. Beyond 2031, the measures have not yet been fully budgeted due to the period under review in the medium-term plan. The necessary funds are made available via the framework plan ( see sub-section E1-1 ) – the measures included take company-related targets into account. This ensures continuous access to funding. The framework plan is updated annually on a rolling basis, analogous to medium- term planning.
