Alliander Green Finance Framework April 2025

Alliander's updated 2025 Green Finance Framework includes several substantive enhancements to its sustainability governance and strategic framework. The document now explicitly references the Dutch government's climate neutrality goal for 2050 with a 55% emissions reduction target by 2030, and introduces a new "Seven strategic pillars" section that was absent in 2024. The company also updated its operational metrics (electricity network expanded from 96,000 to 97,000 kilometres, workforce increased from 8,000 to 10,000 colleagues) and refined its climate language from "Climate-neutral operations" to "Climate change mitigation," while adding a new section (1.5) documenting updates from the prior year's framework to improve transparency.

• added Strategic Framework — Introduction of 'Seven strategic pillars' as a new structured component of Alliander's strategic direction.
• modified Climate Target — Language refined from 'Climate-neutral operations' to 'Climate change mitigation' in section 1.3.2, signaling broader climate focus beyond operational scope.
• added Governance — New section 1.5 'Updates from 2024 Green Finance Framework' added to document framework evolution and improvements year-over-year.
