*The value presented does not correspond to the final Scope 3 emissions as it does not include emissions of Category 3 where the calculation is in progress due to a revision of the methodology.

The calculation of Category 3 is in progress as the relevant calculation methodology is currently under review. The calculation of Scope 3 emissions as well as the verification of the total emissions (Scope 1, 2 and 3) according to ISO 14064 is in progress. The verified data (Scope 1, 2 and 3) together with the corresponding consolidated data for the whole Group will be posted on the corporate website in early 2024.

GRI 306-2 Management of significant impacts related to waste

For the year 2022, PPC S.A. has 75 waste generating facilities that fall within the scope of the EWR. Similarly, Lignitiki Megalopolis had 5 facilities and Lignitiki Melitis had 3 facilities for the period 01/01-31/05 that these companies operated. After their absorption by PPC S.A., the aforementioned 8 (5+3) facilities belong to PPC S.A. and are included in the aforementioned 75. The monitoring of PPC S.A.’s performance is achieved by collecting the individual reports submitted by each facility within the framework of the EWR, compiling them and extracting aggregated data.

In 2022, a total of 1,058,834.36 tons of waste were removed from the facilities of PPC S.A. and its subsidiaries, Lignitiki Megalopolis and Lignitiki Meliti. Out of this amount, 1.45% corresponds to quantities directed to recovery operations (R), while 98.55% corresponds to quantities directed to disposal operations (D). It is noted that these percentages are significantly influenced by the inclusion of quantities of fly ash and gypsum that are not utilized as by-products, resulting in their disposal (D).
