EUROGATE

Reporting on non-financial performance indicators for EUROGATE

For EUROGATE, sustainability means, above all, ensuring the future viability of the corporate group. Within the scope of business activities and on the basis of internal processes, EUROGATE considers economic efficiency, environmental protection and social responsibility in equal measure. Compliance with the law and internal guidelines is a natural prerequisite for day-to-day work.

Through efficient port operations, EUROGATE allows its customers to transport goods reliably, as the container terminals are hubs of international trade. At the same time, EUROGATE strengthens the local economy and provides jobs. The business causes impacts on people and the environment, e.g., due to the Group’s resource consumption.

The material non-financial key performance indicators for EUROGATE are defined using the following areas: environmental matters (energy and greenhouse gas emissions/CO₂), the employee dimension (occupational health and safety), anti-corruption and anti-bribery, IT security and Business Continuity Management.

Environmental matters – energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions (CO₂)

Energy consumption is an important factor in resource management and has a direct impact on the costs incurred and thus on the business result.

Most relevant non-financial key performance indicator (KPI):

• Energy consumption in megawatt hours^*

Energy consumption is regularly reviewed. The following table shows the current target achievement status:

The output of greenhouse gas emissions (CO₂) is controlled at EUROGATE via energy input. The most significant emission indicator for EUROGATE is CO₂ emissions in metric tons (t CO₂)^*.

Most relevant non-financial key performance indicator (KPI):

• Development of CO₂ emissions in metric tons^*

CO₂ emissions are regularly reviewed. The following table shows the current target achievement status:

Employee dimension – occupational health and safety

The protection of all our own and external employees from work-related injuries or illnesses as well as the preservation of their health is of great importance. Most of our services involve using heavy equipment at the terminals (mainly straddle carriers and container bridges) and are subject to being impacted by weather conditions. Due to the physical work and the fact that a large proportion of employees work in a three-shift system, it is particularly important to promote and protect their health.

The management of occupational health and safety is, together with health protection, the responsibility of the individual companies and their respective managing directors.

Relevant non-financial key performance indicators (KPIs):

• Number of reportable work-related and commuting accidents^*

• Number of fatal work-related and commuting accidents

The number of accidents as an indicator of occupational safety is regularly reviewed. The following table shows the current target achievement status:

Anti-corruption and anti-bribery

The long-term success of a company requires compliant, fair and reliable behavior. In the EUROGATE Group, the umbrella term “compliance” is understood to mean compliance with legal standards and internal company guidelines, and the adherence to compliance by the EUROGATE Group companies. This includes the relevant guidelines and principles to prevent bribery and corrupt conduct.

The Legal department of EUROGATE Holding, or the Compliance Officer, is responsible for the compliance management system. Responsibility for compliance with the anti-corruption policy lies with the Group Management or the management teams of the respective EUROGATE Group company.

Relevant non-financial key performance indicator (KPI):

• Number of confirmed corruption cases

The number of corruption cases is used as an indicator in combating corruption and bribery and is regularly reviewed. The following table shows the target achievement status.

IT security and business continuity management

Secure and reliable IT-supported processes are essential for a container terminal to operate efficiently. This is not only necessary from a business point of view, but it is also of economic importance. As hubs of national and international transport chains, container ports play their part in ensuring that business and trade can run smoothly. Efficient IT security protects the processes in the container terminal and consequently the entire port system. Business Continuity Management (BCM) ensures the continuity and timely restoration of critical business activities in the event of major disruptions, including scenarios relevant to the operation of critical infrastructure.

The increasing integration of IT-based solutions into business processes over the years, and the growing integration of EUROGATE systems with those of others involved in the logistics chain, require a secure IT infrastructure. Cyberthreats are constantly increasing and changing. IT security is therefore essential for enabling and securing the business processes of the companies in the EUROGATE Group.

The ISMS (Information Security Management System) comprises all EUROGATE sites in Germany, with the exception of the North Sea Terminal Bremerhaven GmbH & Co. (NTB), a separately managed joint venture operated by EUROGATE together with APMT. The ISMS follows the legal requirements of current European and German legislation (BSIG, ITSiG, NIS2 Implementation Act). To meet these requirements, the ISMS is structured in accordance with ISO 27001 and is also based on the IEC 62443 standard in the area of machinery and equipment.

BCM is closely aligned with enterprise risk management, IT emergency and disaster recovery planning, and facility management, but differs significantly from preventive management systems such as the Information Security Management System (ISMS). The focus of BCM is on maintaining essential services, restoring critical business activities in a timely manner, and limiting impacts in the event of major disruptions, including scenarios relevant to the operation of critical infrastructure. From 2026 onward, the BCMS will be managed as a dedicated function within EUROGATE IT at the Group level. The hiring process for an appropriate position was successfully completed in 2025.

Relevant non-financial key performance indicators (KPI):

• System disruptions/unavailability due to security incidents

• Data loss/manipulation

For the 2025 financial year, there were no cases of data loss or significant system disruptions attributable to security incidents.
