CO2 emissions that do not result from the use of energy by MTU in its on-site operations fall under Scope 3. These include upstream value creation at suppliers, downstream product use, and employee travel to and from MTU. We are not yet able to present Scope 3 in full. We have included a Scope 3 accounting project in our sustainability strategy. The aim is to record and evaluate significant upstream and downstream activities and to establish a corresponding management system at the fully consolidated locations. |

Nonfinancial KPIs To evaluate emissions, we use the emission factors from the German Environment Agency’s ProBas database. Where we deviate from this: for sulfur dioxide we use emission factors from our own measurements for kerosene; for nitrogen oxide and carbon monoxide from the operation of engines we use MTU-specific factors (average values from NOx and CO emissions according to the ICAO database for all engines tested by us for the climb out operating point). For indirect emissions we use specific, locally adjusted emission factors based on ProBas. |

Minimum notice periods regarding operational changes |
Germany: Agreements between the employer and the works council that are governed by collective agreements can be terminated with three months’ notice under Section 77 of the German Works Council Constitution Act (Betriebsverfassungsgesetz). As a rule, this is also laid down in the collective agreements. In cases in which the arbitration body’s decision can overrule an agreement between the works council and employer, the regulations governing the notice period remain valid until replaced. Also laid down in the collective agreements are the notice periods for the assertion of claims for employers as well as employees. Poland: In accordance with Polish law Indefinite and fix-term employment contract – 2 weeks up to 6 months; 1 month up to 3 years of employment; 3 months after 3 years of employment. Serbia: 4 weeks. Netherlands: 1 month. Canada: The standard notice period is two weeks. If the numbers of employees is greater than 10, consideration must be given and determination if 60 days notice to be given. USA: 60 days for reduction of 50% or more of the workforce under federal WARN Act. |
