For that reason, even though those topics remain important to Nilfisk, they do not appear as material topics because of the low likelihood of incidents occurring. However, as these topics are considered of ongoing importance, they are monitored by Nilfisk to ensure that processes in place are working. The materiality of these topics will be reevaluated every year. The outcome of the DMA conducted in 2023 is preliminary, and will serve as the basis for preparation of ESRS-compliant reporting in 2024. 9 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2023 Material sub-topics 01: Climate change mitigation 02: Substances of very high concern 03: Energy 04: Resource inflows, including resource use 05: Resource outflows related to products and services 06: Information-related impacts for consumers and/or end users 07: Direct impact drivers of biodiversity loss 08: Working conditions - Workers in the value chain 09: Other work-related rights - Workers in the value chain 10: Working conditions - Own workforce 11: Equal treatment and opportunities for all - Workers in the value chain 12: Climate change adaptation 13: Personal safety of consumers and/or end users 14: Equal treatment and opportunities for all - Own workforce Sub-topics of ongoing importance 01: Water 02: Corporate culture 03: Political engagement and lobbying activities 04: Impacts on the extent and condition of ecosystems 05: Impacts and dependencies on ecosystem services 06: Waste 07: Corruption and bribery 08: Protection of whistleblowers 09: Pollution of air 10: Pollution of water 11: Pollution of soil 12: Management of relationships with suppliers including payment practices 13: Social inclusion of consumers and/or end user 14: Substances of concern 15: Microplastics 16: Pollution of living organisms and food resources Watch list sub-topics 01: Communities’ civil and political rights 02: Impacts on the state of species 03: Other work-related rights - Own workforce 04: Marine resources 05: Animal welfare 06: Particular rights of indigenous communities 07: Communities’ economic, social and cultural rights 2023 Double Materiality Assessment The preliminary DMA results show that 7 topics and 14 sub-topics are material to Nilfisk from an impact and/or financial risk and opportunity perspective.

These are related to energy consumption and mix, location-based greenhouse gas emissions, and Nilfisk’s own workforce. An overview of all assured data points is provided in the ESG table.
