CLIMATE & ENVIRONMENT

ProSiebenSat.1 Group is aware of its ecological responsibility. The company therefore strives to make a positive contribution to environmental and climate protection and to meet the expectations of its stakeholders and the requirements of the market. The Group attaches great importance to transparency and reports regularly on its environmental performance. This is why the "Climate and Environment" area of action of the Group's sustainability strategy aims to work together with employees and in dialog with external stakeholders to contribute towards limiting climate change and protecting the environment and its resources. ProSiebenSat.1 Group has set itself an emissions target to reach operational net zero by 2030 as a central, Group-wide target. Since the target was set in 2019, we have therefore continually reduced our operational emissions. In 2024, we can report a reduction by 12% year-on-year.

With the "European Green Deal," the European Commission is pursuing a plan to organize the European economy more sustainably lines in the future and especially to direct capital flows into sustainable economic activities. To enable the categorization of economic activities according to their sustainability, the European Commission has created a classification system with the Taxonomy Regulation.

In general, the Taxonomy Regulation has to date mainly covered those economic activities that are responsible for the most CO₂eq emissions within Europe. At present, the majority of ProSiebenSat.1 Group’s business activities are not covered by the Taxonomy Regulation. However, this does not imply that ProSiebenSat.1 makes no contribution to environmental protection or to climate change mitigation in particular. We are aware of the Group’s responsibility due to the reach of our TV stations and digital platforms, and will continue to keep our target groups informed and raise awareness of environmentally relevant issues.

Detailed information on how ProSiebenSat.1 Group has expanded and updated the consideration of taxonomy-eligible economic activities for the financial year 2024, checked their taxonomy conformity where required and subsequently determined the corresponding taxonomy KPIs in relation to revenues, capital expenditure and operating expenses can be found in the "EU Taxonomy" section of the Sustainability Report.
