ÖBB Annual Report 2023

153 Group Management Report Österreichische Bundesbahnen-Holding Aktiengesellschaft Consolidated Financial Statements | Group Management Report 108 Codes The following codes applied for economic activities 3.19 "Manufacture of rail rolling stock constituents”, 6.1. “Passenger interurban rail transport”, 6.2. “Freight rail transport” and 6.3. “Urban and suburban transport, road passenger transport”, a traction type code (differentiation between diesel traction, electric traction or combustion engines on electrified routes). Diesel rail vehicles travelling under overhead lines are classified as taxonomy-eligible but not taxonomy-aligned. Compliance with the emission limits in Annex II of Regulation (EU) 2016/162 is not ensured. As a result, only e-traction rail vehicles in the ÖBB Group are currently taxonomy-compliant. In countries outside Austria, mixed service provision for freight transport (own and third-party traction) is not ruled out. The data from ÖBB’s foreign companies was therefore used as the basis for calculating the compliant share of third-party traction abroad due to the lack of sufficiently accessible and consistently available and verifiable information from (non- Group) third parties. It is assumed that the framework conditions for freight transport in the countries of operation outside Austria are comparable. This assumption has no effect on the taxonomy eligibility. A freight transport code (distinction between transports with and without loading of fossil fuels) is applied for the economic activity “6.2. Freight rail transport”. Fossil fuel freight transports are to be designated as non-taxonomy compliant. A train-kilometre code based on train-kilometres travelled is applied in individual cases (e.g. on measurement train journeys or auxiliary train journeys) if no clear allocation to a single economic activity of the three rail transport activities (6.1., 6.2. and 6.3.) is feasible. A proportionate allocation of turnover, CapEx and / or OpEx that fall into one of the two economic activities relating to “passenger transport” and for which there is no clear division into long-distance transport (6.1.) or local transport (6.3.) was also conducted using a plausible distribution key. As a result, double counting was avoided, particularly in the allocation to economic activities. ÖBB-Technische Services-Gesellschaft mbH’s repair and maintenance division decided to calculate a traction type key based on productive hours for maintenance services for the taxonomy-compliant key figures. This applies to economic activity 3.19. “Manufacture of rail rolling stock constituents” (climate change mitigation, CCM). The productive working hours are recorded for each order and are therefore precisely allocated to the diesel locomotive or electric locomotive products and therefore form part of the reported key performance indicators. G.9. Affordable and accessible mobility services Management approach As Austria’s largest mobility service provider, ÖBB has a responsibility to make its services as attractive as possible for all customers in passenger and freight transport. Financial affordability as well as accessibility to services are top priorities. As a total mobility service provider, ÖBB aims to get travellers from A to B by train and bus in a sustainable manner. The ÖBB also wants to provide them with a sustainable alternative to private motorised transport for the first and last mile. As a result, ÖBB is continually expanding its mobility offering and orienting itself to the needs of its customers - with the aim of being able to offer a suitable mobility solution anytime and anywhere. The accessibility of information, offers, tickets and journeys is essential, as is access that is as self-explanatory as possible at every stage of the travel chain. Objectives – Further improve, simplify and expand both passenger and freight transport services. – Successively expand and improve the range of barrier-free mobility options. By 2027, 90% of travellers will experience accessibility without barriers. – Number of passengers (on buses and trains) to increase to approx. 500.0 million by 2030 – Maintain punctuality at a consistently good level (target 2030: 89.0% in long-distance traffic) – Drive internationalisation and double passenger numbers in international traffic by 2050 – Further expand integrated mobility offerings in Austria’s communities and tourism regions and tap into new business areas through innovation and digitalisation – Continue to improve integration of active mobility (by bicycle and on foot) in the travel chain MR108 |
