The Company manufactures and delivers transformers to customers. Transformers are designed by prioritizing
their efficiency, resilience, and longevity, by strategically selecting special component materials to accommodate
high electrical, mechanical, and thermal loads and stresses. They are customized designs with rigorous technical
specifications to ensure efficient, reliable, and safe operations that would last 30 to 40 years or even longer.
Transformer services contribute to extending the service life and to increasing the productivity of the built-in
materials. We are also providing declarations on recyclability rates of our transformers at their end of life and
delivering decommissioning and materials recovery guidelines to maximizing material recovery and to support an
environmentally friendly and safe end of life management. With our supply chain we are continuously gathering
data on recycled content in sourced materials and partnering with stakeholders on establishing more circular
material value chains. As of today, the recycled content rate in sourced main materials varies between 10 and
100% for materials such as e-steel, carbon steel, aluminium, copper and insulating mineral oil.
 Of the products and packaging reclaimed at end of life of products, amount (in metric tonnes) reused, recycled,
and safely disposed, as per the following format:
