E1-9 – Anticipated financial effects from material physical and transition risks and potential climate-related opportunities
Physical risk exposure
Maersk
Maersk publishes figures for RCP4.5 in the infographic, which is not the highest emissions scenario that they reviewed (they say that they also reviewed RCP8.5). Maersk also publishes estimated revenue loss and damage in 2050, even though this is not the financial figures that EFRAG says is required.

Material physical climate change impact risks material after 2040
Metsa Group
Metsa group include an anticipated financial effects section for each material topic. No material physical climate risks were associated with Metsä Group's production units.
E2-4 - Pollution of air, water, and soil
Pollutant metric disclosures
Maersk
Kemira
Metsa group
E2-5 - Substances of concern and substances of very high concern
Substances of concern metric disclosures
Novo Nordisk
Novo Nordisk: “While chemicals are an essential component in the production of medicines, some Substances of Concern (SCs) and Substances of Very High Concern (SVHCs)1 can potentially have a negative impact on health or the environment. Material impacts related to SCs and SVHCs concern both substances procured or used in production, and substances that leave our facilities in products or as emissions”
“Laboratories are deemed immaterial and not in scope” (example of omitting a business unit because it doesn’t relate to the metric)
Kamira
Evonik
Evonik’s target is to include and evaluate substances/products from acquisitions in their chemical management system.
To calculate SVHC metrics, Evonik analyzes purchases, sales, and product stewardship data to identify SoCs as well as their proportion in raw materials and products. Amounts in raw materials are estimated.
Covestro
E2-6 – Anticipated financial effects from pollution-related impacts, risks, and opportunities
Metsa group
Metsa group include an anticipated financial effects section for each material topic. Here, Metsa Group relies on the likelihood of the risk/opportunity to explain the plausibility of the material risks and opportunities having a financial effect. Metsa Group does not conclude that any material risk/opportunities have or will incur significant financial cost
E3 - water
Philips
Despite water not being a material topic for Phillips, they still report basic measures. They recognize that they are not a water-intensive organization; however, ensuring high-quality water, sanitation, and hygiene is a priority.
Metsa group
Metsa Group links its E3 Water disclosures directly to quantified 2030 reduction targets, explaining site‑specific water‑stress and climate risks (evaluated in their climate risk analysis) related to water.
Metsa group include an anticipated financial effects section for each material topic. No financial effects related to water are anticipated.
