The disclosure does not segregate fuel consumption (coal, oil, gas, biomass) from purchased electricity/heat or distinguish fossil vs. renewable sources for purchased energy. Cogeneration (592 MW) is mentioned under LCG but not integrated into a comprehensive energy consumption breakdown.

This appears to be a phase-in omission under CSRD first-time application, with narrative focus on electricity generation capacity rather than consumption-side disclosure.

Note on comparability:

  • 2024 data for water consumption is not comparable to 2023 due to expanded scope including non-freshwater.
  • Reused water is not comparable to 2023 data because the definition changed in accordance with ESRS E3-4 requirements.
  • Recycled water, stored water, changes in water storage, and water intensity are new metrics in 2024, therefore no 2023 comparatives are provided.

Methodology notes

Water consumption: Calculated as the difference between withdrawals and discharges, including both fresh and non-freshwater.

Water consumption in water-risk areas: Calculated by assessing water stress levels at withdrawal sources and discharge points using the World Resource Institute's (WRI) Aqueduct tool. Regions with high (40-80%) or very high (>80%) water withdrawal percentages are considered water-risk areas.

Recycled water: Water (treated or untreated) that has been used more than once in the same process before being discharged outside the Company's boundaries.

Reused water: Treated or untreated water used more than once in different processes of the Company or by a third party, before being discharged outside its boundaries.

Stored water: Water withdrawn from the environment that is temporarily accumulated to ensure water availability in operations, not yet considered in water consumption metrics.

Water intensity: Ratio of total water consumption (m³) per million EUR net revenue.

Scope

The perimeter corresponds to assets and operating centers over which Repsol exercises operational control (100% contribution regardless of shareholding). Information on non-operated Joint Operating Agreements (JOAs) is excluded. Estimated water consumption for non-operated operations represents less than 5% of total and is considered non-material.

Reported

Transition plan and consideration of biodiversity and ecosystems in strategy and business model

Integration in corporate strategy and business model

Repsol has carried out a resilience analysis of its strategy and business model in relation to the risks associated with biodiversity and ecosystems in order to assess its capacity to deal with them in different scenarios and ensure the viability and continuity of its projects and operations. Stakeholders have not been involved in the preparation of this study.

The scope of the analysis considers the Company's sites and businesses that are operated, leaving out of scope the rest of its own operations. The time horizon used is 2030.

Use of frameworks

The Company has adopted the scenarios set out in the TNFD (Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures) reporting framework as a reference for developing its long-term forecasts to prepare its recommended disclosures, specifically those related to strategy. TNFD's approach focuses on two critical uncertainties: 1) the degradation of ecosystem services, which is correlated with physical risks, and 2) the alignment of market and non-market forces, which is associated with transition risks.

Scenario analysis

Four different scenarios are established:

  • Ahead of the game:

    • Moderate degradation of ecosystem services
    • Alignment of market and non-market forces high
  • Go fast or go home:

    • Serious degradation of ecosystem services
    • Alignment of market and non-market forces high
  • Sand in the gears:

    • Serious degradation of ecosystem services
    • Alignment of market and non-market forces is low
  • Back of the list:

    • Moderate degradation of ecosystem services
    • Alignment of market and non-market forces is low

In the assessment of the potential level of risk, a scale has been considered ranging from trivial, when it does not affect the normal functioning of the business, to extreme, which would involve a total or substantial loss of the operation. In no case does the potential level of risk obtained by 2030 exceed the materiality threshold, i.e. there are no situations that could affect the normal operation of the business, which would entail an impact or change in operations or a partial loss of the operation or prolonged closure.

Linkage to nature-related risk assessment

The risks considered are those assessed in the double materiality assessment, where the annual economic impact is evaluated, generally based on the operating result before taxes, and the probability of occurrence of the event, based on statistics of historical events or, failing that, on expert criteria.

The risks discussed are listed below. None of them are material in the analysis of double materiality:

  • Risk of non-compliance with the regulatory framework in the field of biodiversity associated with the deterioration of ecosystems due to the extraction of natural resources, by deployment, maintenance, operational and/or decommissioning activities, or by changes in land use associated with the Company's businesses in onshore and offshore locations
  • Impossibility or limitations when carrying out onshore and offshore operations due to the existence of areas classified as sensitive or areas of importance for biodiversity
  • Impact on the Company's reputation associated with lower investor attraction

Management approach

To manage these risks, the Company establishes commitments in its Environmental Policy and promotes actions.

The Company is prepared for the most unfavorable scenarios thanks to its Strategic Plan, the decarbonization roadmap and the actions it carries out to manage its dependencies, impacts, risks and opportunities related to biodiversity and ecosystems.

Geographic and value-chain scope

The Company has carried out a LEAP analysis (following TNFD's approach). The LEAP analysis takes into account the Company's own hydrocarbon production operations, refineries, chemical plants, LPG factories, specialized product plants, asphalts and lubricants, hydroelectric and combined cycle plants, renewable energy facilities (solar and wind), service stations, and office buildings. In this LEAP analysis, no consultations have been carried out with potentially affected communities.

Sites with a material impact on biodiversity and ecosystems have been identified, including their location in or near biodiversity-sensitive areas. Examples include operations in the United States, Bolivia, Peru, Algeria, and Colombia, affecting various biomes (temperate/boreal forests & woodlands, savannas and grasslands, deserts and semi-deserts, tropical/subtropical forests) with ecological status ranging from moderate to very high.

Financial materiality assessment

It has been concluded that the issue of biodiversity and ecosystems is material from the point of view of impact, but not from the financial point of view.

E4-4Targets related to biodiversity and ecosystems
Reported

Targets related to biodiversity and ecosystems

Repsol has not adopted measurable or results-oriented targets related to biodiversity and ecosystems. The reason why it has not done so is the complexity associated with the related metrics, the difficulty in establishing homogeneous performance indicators for activities of different types and the existence of limitations in the available standards.

Monitoring approach

Repsol monitors the effectiveness of its policies and actions with respect to dependencies, impacts, risks, and material opportunities related to sustainability through the following processes:

  • The development of the Global Plan and the Local Sustainability Plans, which are divided into the axes of climate change, environment, innovation and technology, safety, people, and ethics and transparency, and include the Company's objectives and action plans in terms of sustainability. The level of ambition to be achieved is established individually for each defined objective and the progress in achieving it is published annually in www.repsol.com.

  • The supervision and advice of the Sustainability Committee of the Board of Directors on corporate social responsibility, environment, health and safety, climate change and energy transition.

  • The activities of the Audit, Control and Risk function to identify, measure, prioritize and control risks appropriately.

Commitments

Repsol has committed not to develop any industrial activity within the limits of the sites included in the UNESCO World Heritage List (including cultural sites, natural and mixed), and to develop biodiversity action plans in those productive assets operated located in the protected natural areas most sensitive to biodiversity, corresponding to protected areas of IUCN category I to IV and Ramsar sites.

E4-5Impact metrics related to biodiversity and ecosystems change
Reported

Impact metrics related to biodiversity and ecosystems change

Total operational footprint

The total spatial footprint of Repsol's operated sites and businesses in 2024 came to 28,796 hectares. This metric includes those sites belonging to businesses whose main driver of impact on biodiversity is land use change, freshwater use change or sea use change and those facilities with an impact driver on biodiversity other than the above but which occupy a significant area.

Methodology note: The surface areas of the hydrocarbon production sites correspond to the concession blocks of geomining domain, irrespective of the precise location of the operation within that area. The areas for photovoltaic and wind power plants comprise the entire perimeter of these sites. The remaining areas have been determined from official sources, such as the Cadastral Registry, and, only in isolated cases, digital measurement on aerial photography was used (e.g. fuel distribution facilities in seaports). The estimated spatial footprint for non-operated JOAs would be 3.1% of total own operations.

Restoration and offset metrics

At those sites whose main driver of impact on biodiversity is land use change, freshwater use change or sea use change, restoration and offset actions have been carried out on a total of 594 hectares.

Biodiversity metrics include:

  • Total area taken up by operations in 2024: 28,796 hectares
  • Area restored and offset: 594 hectares

Resource Inflows (E5-4)

Repsol's activities are structured into four business segments, utilising resources that include hydrocarbons of mineral and biological origin, as well as other materials necessary for the manufacture of its products, such as steel, cement, and chemical products. The company also uses water captured from both natural sources of saltwater (oceans and seas) and freshwater (surface and underground resources), as well as from other alternative sources.

Calculation Methodology

Materials that enter a Repsol business area for the first time are considered in the calculation of resource inputs, avoiding accounting for those that are transferred to another business area once they have been transformed, as is the case with fuels sold by the Client's business which are manufactured by Refining. Packaging data are also not included because calculations indicate their quantities are not significant.

Business-specific considerations:

  • E&P business: Data corresponds to direct measurement of gross oil and natural gas production, consolidated monthly in internal systems. Auxiliary materials are not included since their volume is not significant (e.g., materials for construction and completion of unconventional wells represent less than 5% of resources used by E&P and less than 1% of the company's total resources).

Targets related to circular economy

Objective 1: Renewable fuel production capacity

Target: To reach a renewable fuel production capacity in the Iberian Peninsula of more than 2.2 million tons by 2030, with an intermediate milestone of 1.5 million tons in 2027.

Target metric: Renewable fuel production capacity (million tons)

Target value:

  • More than 2.2 million tons by 2030
  • Intermediate milestone: 1.5 million tons in 2027
  • Potential increase to 2.4-2.7 million tons if incorporating production capacity in the USA

Baseline year: 2023

Baseline value: 1 million tons (renewable fuel production capacity)

Target year: 2030 (intermediate milestone: 2027)

Type: Absolute objective related to both the inflow and outflow of resources

Scope: Operations of the Industrial business in the Iberian Peninsula where renewable fuels are produced

Validation: Defined on a voluntary basis in Repsol's Strategic Plan 2024-2027. Not based on conclusive scientific evidence and stakeholders have not been involved in its development.

Description: The production of renewable fuels is carried out from sustainably sourced waste raw materials and/or from the capture of CO2 emissions. This objective aims to increase the use of circular materials, the minimization of primary raw materials and promote the sustainable supply and use of renewable resources. Includes co-processing, ETBE, and renewable H2 as intermediates.

Progress to date (2024): The production capacity of renewable fuels stood at 1.2 million tons at the end of 2024. This progress is in line with the initial planning and no significant changes in performance are identified to achieve the objective.

Relationship with other environmental aspects: Progress towards this goal acts as a lever for the reduction of the Company's CO2 emissions in all its scopes.

Reported

Characteristics of non-employees in the undertaking's own workforce

Number of non-employee workers

Repsol reports that the vast majority of its workforce consists of salaried employees who maintain an employment relationship with the company under permanent (91%) or temporary (9%) contracts. The company explicitly states that non-employee workers (i.e., workers contacted through companies that supply labor or on a self-employed basis) are considered a minority and not material, representing less than 1% of the total workforce.

Disclosure approach

Given the immaterial nature of non-employee workers in Repsol's workforce, the company does not provide detailed quantitative breakdowns by type (contractor, agency, self-employed) or other characteristics for this population. The company's people management reporting focuses on its 25,595 salaried employees as of 2024.

Context on contractors

While Repsol does not report contractors as part of its own workforce under ESRS S1-7, the company does engage with contractor workers for operational activities, particularly in industrial complexes and E&P operations. However, these workers are managed under separate contractual relationships through third-party companies and are addressed under the company's value chain worker disclosures (S2) rather than as part of the own workforce.

The company notes in its safety reporting that it conducts safety performance assessments of suppliers and contractors and includes contractor safety data in certain operational metrics, but these workers are not counted as part of the own workforce for S1-7 purposes.

The system complies with Law 2/2023 and EU Directive 2019/1937 on whistleblower protection. The Ethics and Compliance Committee oversees the internal information system, with the Chief Compliance Officer managing investigations independently.

Investigation process:

  • Acknowledgment of receipt within 7 days
  • Preliminary analysis by Chief Compliance Officer
  • Investigation completed within 3 months (extendable to 6 months for complex matters)
  • Report of conclusions prepared
  • Communication to informant upon closure

The system guarantees confidentiality throughout the process and maintains anonymity where legally permitted. Communications received in 2024: 69% from external parties, 31% from internal personnel.

Anti-retaliation measures

Repsol maintains a zero-tolerance policy for retaliation against whistleblowers who report in good faith. Protection measures include confidentiality clauses in investigations, prevention of reprisals, and disciplinary sanctions for those responsible for retaliation.

Training and awareness

In 2024, 20,509 employees completed mandatory online training "The Challenge in the Ethicsverse" focused on the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct. The training included personalized assessments and recommendations on key compliance topics including anti-corruption, conflicts of interest, and dealings with public officials.

The fourth edition of Compliance Day was held in November 2024, attended by external experts and featuring the IV Compliance Awards recognizing best internal ethics and compliance practices.
