* Disclosures omitted from the individual indicators were not identified as falling within the scope of material topics to be reported.

Disclosure 401-3 does not fall within the material topic 'Employment conditions and employee-friendly workplace’ since in the process of material topic analysis it was considered in the context of the organisational culture with emphasis on diversity (transparent remuneration system, clear promotion criteria, no discrimination), which does not include the number of persons on parental leave.

Disclosure 203-2 does not fall within the material topic 'Transmission network capacity, infrastructure quality, development plans’, since in the process of material topic analysis it was considered not in the economic but in the operational context.

Disclosure 204-1 does not fall within the material topic ‘Sustainable supply chain’ since the impact on the local economy was examined as part of another topic that was not identified by stakeholders as material.

Disclosure 414-1 does not fall within the material topic ‘Sustainable supply chain’ since it was considered in the context of extant suppliers; however, the chapter 'Cooperation with Suppliers’ reported on the update of the 'Code of Conduct for Suppliers’ which included the issue of respecting human rights.

Disclosure 414-2 does not fall within the material topic ‘Sustainable supply chain’ since it was in part embedded in other  analysed topics that were not indicated as material, and the issues contained in this disclosure are partly described under other material topics, such as ‘Mitigating negative social impacts of investment projects in progress’.

Disclosure 201-1 does not fall within the material topic ‘Role in the energy transition’ since in the process of material topic analysis it was considered in the context of reducing CO2 emissions, which includes neither direct economic value generated, economic value distributed nor economic value retained.

Disclosure 302-2 does not fall within the material topic ‘Mitigating environmental impact’ since in the process of material topic analysis, the topic involving energy consumption and initiatives for its reduction was considered separately and was not identified as material.

Disclosures 305-2, 305-3 and 305-4 do not fall within the material topic ‘Mitigating environmental impact’ since in the process of material topic analysis, the issues involving emissions and initiatives for their reduction were considered separately and were not identified as material.

Disclosures 306-5 and 306-3 (GRI Standard GRI 306: Effluents and waste) do not fall within the material topic ‘Mitigating environmental impact’ since in the process of material topic analysis the matters related to waste and effluents management, including the initiatives for their reduction, as well as to water withdrawal, consumption and discharge, were addressed separately and were not identified as material.  Accordingly, the disclosures that best describe the environmental impact of the organisation were ascribed to the selected material topic.
