ÖBB Annual Report 2023

Group Management Report 112 Österreichische Bundesbahnen-Holding Aktiengesellschaft Consolidated Financial Statements | Group Management Report 67 Objectives CO 2 -neutral ÖBB mobility sector by 2030 (Scope 1 and 2 - excluding buildings) Mobility ÖBB has defined six areas of focus as part of its climate change mitigation strategy in order to further reduce emissions in the mobility sector and to further promote the modal shift: – Electrification of routes: Increase the degree of electrification to 85% by 2030 and to 89% by 2035 – Alternative drive systems – rail: Gradual conversion of the remaining diesel fleet to alternative drive technologies – Alternative drive systems – roads: • The postal bus fleet is gradually being converted to electric and hydrogen buses in coordination with the clients of the transport services (service providers). • Remaining ÖBB road fleet (service and commercial vehicles) to be successively converted to alternative drive systems: Car fleet ≤ 3.5 tonnes to be 100% electrified by 2030 and ÖBB’s entire fleet to be 61% electrified by 2030. Car fleet ≤ 3.5 tonnes to be 100% electrified by 2030 and ÖBB’s entire fleet to be 61% electrified by 2030. – Renewable energies: increase ÖBB’s level of self-sufficiency (in-house production + partner power plants) to 80% in the traction current sector by 2030 – Energy efficiency: realisation of defined energy-saving potential: potential savings of ≈ 180,000 MWh in the mobility sector by 2030 (planning status at the end of 2022) – Increase capacity utilisation in transport (incl. abroad): promotion of measures to increase capacity utilisation in ÖBB passenger and freight transport CO 2 neutrality in the Group 2040 - 2050 (Scope 1, 2 incl. buildings as well as Scope 3 in different application depths) Building Besides the mobility sector, clear targets have also been set for buildings (including fixed installations) (focus: AT): – “Buildings” decarbonisation pathway: implementation of the defined priorities: • Phase out oil-fired heating systems by 2030 • Phase out fossil gas heating systems by 2034 – Implementation of Group 2030 / 2040 building optimisation plan consisting of building use plan and building investment / refurbishment plan (first version of the plan was developed by the end of 2023), roll out Group policy for selecting energy sources in buildings in the Group Scope 3 Scope 3 emissions from the upstream chain or value chain are also a complex issue for ÖBB. This makes it all the more important to take a targeted approach here too (in some cases including abroad): – Targeted expansion and further development of ÖBB’s Scope 3 emissions accounting (expansion of subcategories, review and promote GHG accounting from procurement based on primary data) – Review and implement reduction measures along the defined top drivers from procurement and for other major Scope 3 polluters Further modal shifts by making the system more attractive and by increasing capacity – both by conventional expansion and by using new technologies (doubling capacity by 2040) Infrastructure ÖBB intends to double the performance of the rail by 2040 to enable the necessary shift of traffic to rail. Passenger transport – Expand services: local, regional and long-distance transport will be systematically expanded. – Mobility chain: further promote integrated mobility (first and last mile, ÖBB 360...). – Raise quality further: e. g. improve punctuality, ensure accessibility. | MR67
